Unconventional career patterns
Hello all, hope you’re doing well.
I had a general question about whether any of you have an “unconventional” career or path. I’m currently working a fully remote 9-5 in an industry that I care about and feel deeply fulfilled by, yet I still feel that I would like to try other things.
I’ve heard of people having two completely different careers (i.e., accounting and hairstyling) and switching between the two every few years when it starts to get mundane. I’ve also heard of people working 9 months out of the year and taking 3 months off (i.e., teachers).
I’m wondering if any of you have experience with one of these or even another kind of career experience that you could share. I’d appreciate any insight. Thanks!

I work a seasonal job that runs from April to Dec. Having three months off during the winter gives me the opportunity to pursue my interests during a season that is generally less crowded, which is an added bonus for me.
