FREE Kindle eBook - Quirky Careers
From the Free Booksy email list, a FREE Kindle eBook, “Quirky Careers & Offbeat Occupations of the Past, Present, and Future: Exploring Weird, Wacky, and Interesting Jobs You Never Knew Existed” by Marianne Jennings.
The "Free" part should be good for at least all of today, Thursday, November 9, 2023. But whether today or later, double-check and make sure the price is still in fact FREE.

For those outside the US, go to your country's Amazon site. Search for the eBook from there, and see if it's free. The Link below works for the US Amazon site, but (for example) probably won't let you get the book for free at “Amazon Canada”.

NOTE: While the publisher's blurb describes the book as basically for entertainment, I find books like this to be valuable in getting one to think about alternative career/life possibilities. Not necessarily the ones set forth in the book, or in the “results” of the high school “what might you be suited for as a career” questionnaires, but in spurring the imagination.
