Finals Week is the one time of year that all college students dream of a job that does not require the degree currently being studied. Here are a few that I have pondered during those all-nighters in the overcrowded library...

1. Professional Dog Walker

I dream of living as a successful attorney in the promising cities of New York, Seattle, or Chicago. But, my obsession with dogs puts me on a good path to a lucrative and happy dog walker. So what if my salary would solely go to an unlimited supply of lint brushes? I would suffer for the fluff.

2. Hand Model

My hands are always well-moisturized and nails filed and polished to semi-perfection. Naturally, I can showcase beautiful fake jewelry on those home shopping networks my mom watches everyday after work.

3. Vlogger/ Youtube Celebrity

This is a true aspiration. Granted, I'm not conventionally attractive or witty enough to create a following for product promotion or simple ratings, but wouldn't this be the best case scenario?

4. Professional Cuddler

Us single people need a little validation sometimes, but we can also make a living off helping others feel more calm and collected. You need to receive some training on the profession and self-defense tips, but that beats studying the unorthodox methods of lawmaking in my humble opinion.

5. Starbucks Barista

I essentially live at this coffee joint throughout the semester, but Finals Week presents a personal challenge to out drink my peers in brand name coffee. I could fully embrace the lifestyle and allow my three years of an English degree to guide me along the hipster path to barista freedom.

Many more dream jobs exist that I am sure many of us seriously consider trying out when the studying gets tedious and draining. Power through those finals and prepare for a wonderful winter break! God knows we deserve it...
