Have you ever looked at someone else’s line of work and thought, "That’s a cool job”?
Maybe it was a forensic anthropologist after watching the latest episode of CBS’ popular crime series CSI. Maybe it was a production designer after watching the trailer for that upcoming movie you’re eagerly awaiting. Maybe it was a scuba instructor after learning to dive in a shop before being taken to the Bahamas, Florida Panhandle or Yucatan Peninsula for the ultimate in adventure travel. Or maybe it was a sommelier after marveling over the expansive list of Merlot, Pinot Noir or Chardonnay at your favorite restaurant.
In March, Business Report offered glimpses at six jobs considered so dirty that somebody’s got to do it [think, among other professions, boudin maker, chimney sweep, cow artificial inseminator and road kill cleaner], occupations rarely glamorized and glorified but are essential to our quality of life.
Now we profile seven cool careers that are available in the Capital Region. You don’t have to go to Las Vegas, Miami or New York to use forensic science to help solve crimes. You don’t have to go to Hollywood to put together the trailer for the next blockbuster. You don’t have to go to the Florida Keys to teach people to scuba. And you don’t have to go to California to learn about wines.
