Top 5 - Walking jobs

Occassionally you get a lovely day here in London. Well, at least it is sunny and not so cold outside if you wear a jacket and go for a nice walk to keep yourself warm. You could even do so around 'Little Venice', which I sometimes do.

Being rather fond of these walks, I was wondering how I could combine them with an income, and here are my best ideas:

5) Shoe Tester

I wouldnt have believed this existed until I saw it for myself. The downside is that you are walking to someone elses tune, possibly in shoes that arent very comfortable. Also no guarantee of walking outside & has the risk of occassionally needing to run.

4) Shepherd

An immediate step-up from the last suggestion in that you are guaranteed to be outside, taking in the wonders of nature. You also get the option of wearing a lot of tweed, which does wonders for your self-esteem. The down-side is that you have to hang around sheep all day.

3) Caddie

This moves up the list in that it has the potential to be quite well paid, although it does involve following a person in strange attire around a set course for a couple of days at a time. Also involves carrying someone else's golf bag, which takes away that liberated feeling, replacing it with one of servitude.

2) Dog walker

This would be number 1, though the negatives of cleaning up dog crap and the possibility of having to manage a number of wild animals that might not get along and like to bite to each other.

1) Boundary line / pitch marker

Involves turning up to sports grounds and marking out the fields of play. Ive done this once or twice so recognise the importance and also the care and detail involved. Its kind of like a trade, but basically for people that can; walk, carry and see.

Enables you to walk, be involved in sports or get a free ticket that you can then sell, be outdoors on green fields AND get paid.
