When many people hear of the term “adventure career,” they think of safari guides or hang-gliding instructors. While those do certainly qualify for the “adventure” label, there are many more career possibilities that won’t have you jumping out of airplanes or moving the family to Kenya.

Some people’s idea of adventure is working on a dude ranch for the summer, or as a nature photographer, or a park ranger. Other people would love to be a scuba diving instructor, or a dance choreographer, or a movie stunt person.

There are literally thousands of possibilities.

To most people, an adventure career is anything that doesn’t involve sitting in front of a computer screen in an office cubicle five days a week.

Almost everyone can remember the sense of adventure that they had as children, when a walk around the block could be a wondrous journey of discovery. Today’s adventure career seekers don’t accept the idea that they have to leave that sense of excitement and wonder back in childhood.

And so they look for jobs and careers that will challenge and energize them. Jobs that don’t dull their senses by endless monotony and repitition. Careers that have envious friends asking “How did you ever get a job like that?” And “How can I get into that line of work?”

So whatever your motivation, don't think that an out-of-the-box career path is an impossible dream. And do be discouraged if well-meaning parents and other family members try to steer you down a more conventional career path.

Many of them would love to have a little more adventure in their own work lives, and as they old saying goes: "Misery loves company."
