Students' Offbeat Jobs

Today, all students gave a speech on one offbeat job they would like to have or think is interesting. They had to do some research about the job, take notes, and present their report to the class. Here are 2 examples from the class paraphrased by me, the instructor.

Ji Su would like to be a curator. Curators work in museums and have to be knowledgeable about art and must appreciate the views of art critics. Curators have to like both art and history. Ji Su thinks being a curator is interesting because it's a very creative job and she likes art and history.

Satomi thinks that being a waitress at a themed Japanese cafe (a "maid cafe") is a good example of an offbeat job. Waitresses at themed cafes have to be creative and accommodating. They have to like costumes, manga, animation, and video games. Satomi thinks being a waitress is interesting because it is symbolic of Japanese otaku culture.
