Odd Jobs Profile - Mermaid, or Merman

When you were little did you ever want to be a Mermaid, but you knew it was impossible so you gave up your life long dream? Well this job sounds perfect for you!

You would work in water parks or resorts. Basically all you do is learn a choreographed underwater synchronized swimming routine while you smile, gracefully swim and lip sync words to disney songs.

Pros:

• You can be a mythical beautiful creature, just like Ariel
• You can build up extremely strong lungs from holding your breath for so long
• You can make little girls and boys dreams come true because they would get to see a REAL LIVE MERMAID!!

Cons:

•  You might pass out once or twice while training
• The water you are in for usually 30 minutes at a time is freezing cold
• You have to remain in character no matter what, EVEN IF YOU CAN'T BREATH!! (:

Mermaid/Merman

To Qualify as A Mermaid:

You have to know how to swim (duh, what's a mermaid if it can't swim..). You have to have SOME, not a lot but a little bit of acting experience. You must be able to hold your breath for 2 minutes of longer!!

Training:

You have to train on the job for a year. Training includes, learning and memorizing song lyrics, learning and memorizing synchronized swimming routines UNDERWATER, how to hold your breath for 2 minutes or longer, how to act graceful happy and like a mermaid. You have to be able to pose for pictures with people. Also you would need some acting experience and training. You have to be able to hold a 15-20 pound costume and still swim gracefully.

Hourly Wage:

Pay for these actors is usually $17.44 per hours, pay can vary depending on where you work.

So I pretty much think this would be the best job in the world, after all the hard training it would be totally worth it. You would get rock hard leg muscles from keeping that 15-20 pound costume on for like 30 minutes and you could feel what it feels like to be Ariel, The Little Mermaid. Isn't that what every girl wants?
