I Could Be A Barbecue Chicken Consultant
-
You have to be creative and flexible these days in maintaining your career and finding new ways to make money. How about this woman whose day job is "editorial services provider" (hey, that's kind of what I do!) and who's carved out a side career as a chicken consultant. A what? She dispenses paid advice to people in urban and suburban communities who keep chickens in their yards. She's not a vet, but she grew up on farms and was carrying a rubber chicken purse (!) when her accountant saw it and mentioned his desire to raise chickens. She gave him advice, and he told her she should be a consultant. She now gets $60 per visit to come in, check up on hens, and assess coop conditions. See? There's your plan B: Find something you know about and charge for consulting. (Chicagp Tribune)
