Extreme Careers

Description of book

Speed skiing. Sky diving. Swimming with sharks. You won’t believe what some people do for a living! After all, not everyone can stand working in an office cubicle or behind a cash register.

In Career FAQs Extreme, we catch up with a whole bunch of people with heart-stopping and hair-raising careers. Ever wondered what it was like to surf the biggest wave in the world? Or start your own crocodile farm? Or trek across the Antarctic?

Read interviews with a race car driver, Navy clearance diver, professional big wave surfer, parachute instructor, crocodile farmer, shark dive coordinator, speed skiier, aerial musterer, underground blaster, expedition leader, extreme sports photographer and international aid worker.

If you’re the sort of person that can be relied upon in a crisis and is not fazed by hard work under trying circumstances, perhaps you’re the sort of person who should look for an extreme career. We reveal what qualifications you need to get a foot in the door to your dream job, and how to go about getting them. Make every day an adventure!
