There's not many honest ones.Investigater,researcher things like that.Probably doesn't pay much though.Police and government don't use them.There's plenty of dishonest jobs from cult leader to fortune tellers of all descriptions.

Answer 2

Well be a paranormal investigator! I am. I dont deal with the Extraterrestrial stuff, but I do deal with spirits.

Its a lot of fun, and a good hobby.

I know some colleges offer a paranormal class... its like an open discussion class though, figuring there is no ACTUAL proof of it being real... but I'm sure you could teach.

Theres writing....

Theres research.

Hope I helped!

Answer 3

i have no clue...teaching is always cool

Answer 4

There are virtually no paranormal careers and most of those available are created by the people who occupy them.  Your best bet is to get a PhD in psychology and then choose parapsychology as your area of research.

Or you could hope to get lucky by getting your own paranormal show ala Psychic Kids or TAPS, but I think the trend will be over before you were able to put it together.

Answer 5

since the paranormal isn't  considered a "real" science yet, there aren't really any paying jobs in the field unless you work for a tv show. We all spend our own time and money to find answers.

Answer 6

If you are looking for a career in the paranormal, that is easy. There is author, TV show actor, and tour guide. Those are the three most prevaliant career paths in paranormal studies. If you are hoping to get a job as a paranormal investigator or ghost hunter though, prepare to beg for food. There are over 360 groups throughout the United States that offer paranormal investigations. 99% offer the service for free. 99.999% of them consist simply of volunteers or hobbyists.

Yes, there is some colleges that offer classes in parapsychology. This though is more typical in Great Brittain. The only one in the states was JFK University and I believe they discontinued the program. There are plenty of home study courses offered all over the internet, but they are not accredited nor provide you with anything more than a hole in your pocket book. You can get the same information at your library.

Answer 7

You could be a researcher, a detective, or you could work for a government agency with access to files of such.

I'm not sure of jobs in your area.
