Best jobs for hippies

I'm going into nature conservation, possibly with the national trust in the lake district or peak district in England.

 

If you enjoy "Performing Arts" and of "Hippe" Philosophy why not investigate a "Teaching Assistant" post -where one can utilise both Education and Environmental awareness to an audience of Youthful and fresh minds with a unique and participatory methodology .... for the/our Future depends on it meThinks

 

Could you use your degree to give you access to the sort of stuff you're interested in?

Film-making about the things you're interested in? Interviews and documentaries. Offer your skills to the people who are doing stuff you get passionate about?

Oooh! That sounds really cool! I need to get some good work to help pay for tuition. :sunny:

 

Maybe think in terms of what you would like to accomplish vs. what you would like to do.

Want to help people who are suffering? Try nursing (you'd have to go back to school), work in abused children's shelter, those sorts of things.

Into art? Start doing a good job at whatever needs to be done in an arts organization and work your way forward, maybe get involved with crews doing events like OZORA, Boom!, S.U.N., and so on.

Do you want to be a more nurturing person? Bake stuff and give it away, work in a school, help an older neighbor, and so on.

I mean, it just goes on and on and on.

But, alas, there are shit parts of every job and endeavor - like meetings, repetitive paperwork, asshole clients/customers/students/co-workers, politics, etc., etc. Best to learn how to surf on through.

You see, if your job has meaning and purpose, the crap is easier to tolerate.

 

I'm an old hippy and the job I enjoyed the most was working in a plant nursery. Just watching things grow and produce, flowers, fruit and vegies . That didn't pay that well, though, so I went back to school and became a nurse. Helping people was rewarding but there was a lot of distractions also.

 

My partner is a tutor on a biodynamic farm college that teaches students all kinds of different skills..woodwork, rearing livestock and growing crops organically etc - he LOVES it! Surrounding by like-minded free spirited people, right at the base of the mountains - his dream job! Perhaps something along those lines?
