About This Quiz
Take a good look around you. Almost everyone that you know of most likely has a job, from your friends and family, to strangers walking on a street. A job is a necessary part of life that provides money in exchange for one's time, effort and energy. While some people hate their job, there are thousands of others who really love their job! Some would even go as far as to say that their job is "cool" or "one of a kind." So whether you show up to work with enthusiasm or dread saying "hi" to your boss, this quiz will determine how cool your job is!
When you think of the word "job," you may think about standard career paths like accounting, food service, marketing, engineering or hospitality. But there are many other types of careers that you've probably never heard of, such as a private island caretaker, food critic, fortune cookie writer, toy designer and a Hollywood stunt double. Although these types of jobs may require a special set of skills, you can certainly transition into them if you receive proper training and/or certifications.
