Go to college. Study this, then study that. Become a lawyer. Become a doctor. How about a teacher? Forget all of that: the list featured below includes a few of the wackiest yet highest-paying professions out there.

In fact, these people aren't just your everyday kind of folks. They're making bank just from selling warm, delicious hot dogs and buying cute purses for someone wealthy. Then there's you – the average guy or girl just trying to make a few bucks. Check out these jobs and maybe you'll find something new and cool just for you or someone you know.

1. Hot Dog Vendors

Kiss your college career goodbye and say hello to the delicious smell of New York hot dogs. You better believe it. Hot dog vendors make $30,000-100,000 annually just from selling on the streets. Yep, crazy.

2. Embalmers

So, what exactly is an embalmer? Yeah, I definitely had to Google this one for you. Embalmers preserve human remains by applying chemicals onto deceased bodies. And how much do they earn a year? $43,680.

3. Personal Shoppers

Personal shoppers tackle the little things for you. They pick out everything that you need so that you are always on the go! And who doesn't love shopping on someone else's dime??!

4. Ice Cream Tasters

Two words that describe this profession: literal goals. You're basically being paid $56,000 a year to try out some yummy ice cream flavors.

5. Body Part Models

Body part models earn anywhere from $20 to $1,000 an afternoon just from posing random body parts. If you have an attractive wrist or picture-perfect hands, then maybe this is the job for you.

6. Cruise Ship Entertainers

Get ready to sing, dance, and perform while you cruise down the Bahamas! Cruise ship entertainers make a whopping $3-4,500 a month, which includes room and board. Time to soak up the sun!

7. Live Mannequins

Finally, the creepiest job yet. Live mannequins get paid $100 hourly to stand still and look pretty.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
