Many people invest in higher education and professional training with the goal of landing lucrative positions traditionally associated with success, such as being a lawyer, investment banker or software engineer. On the flip side, a coveted niche of unique careers can offer not just financial stability but also, in some cases, the allure of the great outdoors.
Hosting Advice recently conducted a poll of 3,000 Floridian respondents to find the most envied career in Florida and found the following results, according to a news release.
The top three choices were: wildlife photographer, chocolatier, and adventure tour guide.
Other careers Floridians envied included: luxury real estate agent, vineyard manager/winemaker, craft brewer, social media influencer, environmental specialist, video game developer, and cheese artisan.
Additional notable professions were: marine biologist, fashion designer, TV anchor/host, aerospace engineer for space exploration companies, digital nomad web designer, magazine editor, and entertainment lawyer.
“In this ever-evolving landscape of work, our recent findings shine a spotlight on an extraordinary shift in interest toward careers that offer more than just a paycheck,” said Christina Lewis from HostingAdvice.com, in the release.
“These sought-after professions celebrate the richness of life, inviting people to follow their passions into their daily work. They represent what today’s workforce dreams of — engagement with the great outdoors, the freedom of creativity, and the satisfaction of making a tangible impact,” said Lewis.
