Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Yup, it's called a "Wedding Planner"

You may need to take a course or two on how it's done but you don't need to spend 4 years in university to do it. Here in North America, a planner who does 30 wedding a year can earn about $100,000.00

As for the stress...well, I don't know of any job where you organize events the dosen't include stress.

Good luck.

Answer 3

probably, but you can bet you will need to be OUTSTANDING to get the job as everyone will want to do it!

I work in recruitment and can't think of any

Answer 4

In the United States, the job you are describing is "Event Planner". You can actually get a degree for the field, or you can learn "on the job". In order to learn on the job, you will need to find an experienced event planner, and impress them with your personal skills. Then work hard and learn what they have to impart.

However, I don't know that you will find event planning to be "not too stressful". Event planning can be quite stressful when things don't work out well. (For example, someone you hired for entertainment doesn't arrive on time, or at all.)

Answer 5

Interesting that you posted this in the Mythology and Folklore section.

While there have been accounts that these sort of jobs exist, there is no hard evidence of it. Photographs of these phenomenon tend to be little more than pareidolia.

There have been reports, of course, of individuals who have found hard evidence that these jobs exist, only to have mysterious government officials dressed all in black appear. They are "interviewed" (though threatened is more like) and the evidence is taken away.

But don't give up, the truth is out there!

Answer 6

Yes, but you have to be creative and be a great salesperson.

Answer 7

Become a Barman.

You can start, in my case, from 6am if you work in the kitchen or a manager or from 8am for being normal bar staff.

You will not finish until about 2am because my Pub stops serving at midnight and, depending on how messy the b*****d-customers are it will take forever to tidy-up.

You could work  at least 5hour shifts to 12hour shifts and sometime split-shifts i.e. 9am-3pm then 8pm-finish.

You do not need a degree to become a Barman but sometimes, depending on the company your work for, a relevant qualification of some level would be nice.

Many independent Pubs often host all types of functions from parties to charity events.

How much money you earn does depend on who you work for and how much money the Pub itself earns from its customers.

My co-workers are a great bunch of people, I enjoy working with them. Most of the customers are OK but the odd one-or-two I would not miss if they never came back.

Unless you become a Nun or a Monk then I can't think of any job that does not involve some level of stress. Stress can be fun sometimes, it keeps you on your toes.

But in the end, no matter what job you take, only you can make it c**p or fun. I don't know how but it's true, I've learned it for myself.

Answer 8

Some outdoor things may apply. Backpacking guide etc. The pay doesn't so much depend on what your doing as it does on who your clients are. I've had steaks I paid $5 for and steaks I've paid $2000 for and there's not much difference in the food, just the clientele. So if you want money deal with people who have it.
