It’s Saturday! So put on something fancy, get in a limo, and get ready to smile on the red carpet as the flashbulbs go off thanks to those who perform the service in this week’s job that might seem cool but actually kinda sucks…
The job: Paparazzi
You might like this job if: You like taking pictures. And yelling at people. And Facebook stalking. Or stalking in general. Oh, and money.
The good: You can pretty much buy a new house with the money you get for being the first to have pictures of an A-list couple’s baby. Or get a celebrity angry, snap some shots, and sell them for more cash than most cubicle jockeys see in six months. Yes, there’s a lot of cash to be had…
The bad: Well, people will think you’re the scum of the earth. You will have to cope with the fact that you’re bringing up and breaking down people for no reason other than they’re famous (which you’re helping them be). You have little, if any, legal rights, will have to camp out to get a single shot of the pop vixen eating lunch in hopes she chokes on a sandwich or something, and you’ll have to fight off hordes of other people to do it. Not to mention that any shlub with a camera can claim to do the job.
Summary: Like money? Great! Look somewhere else, because unless you feel like being detested by pretty much everyone in the country (and in some other countries), there’s few (if any) reasons to do this job.
