22 Epic Adventurous Jobs

Typical job openings don't always cut it when you have an adventurous spirit! Know the struggle?

In no particular order, here are 22 adventure jobs that'd both pay the bills and satisfy your wanderlust.

1. Adventurer (The Perfect Adventure Careers!)

There are real-life adventurers out there right now, venturing to remote destinations, embarking on super-human endeavours, and risking their lives in the name of exploration.

Crazy, right?

It's something of a misnomer in relation to traditional jobs though.

First off, 'adventurer' isn't really a position you can apply for. In theory, you could just start calling yourself one!

This is a role you fill of your own accord, assigning yourself the title as and when it seems fitting (or other people starting calling you it).

Likewise, you don't necessarily get paid to have adventures, per se.

You have an adventure, and then get paid by a magazine to write about it, or by a company to give a presentation about it. Or you write a blog about your adventures, which gains traffic and drives ad revenue and/or affiliate sales. Or you write a whole book about the experience and make money as an author.

Make a name for yourself and the cash may also come from sponsorships. Certain outdoor brands might partner with you, provide you with gear/equipment, or even fund entire trips.

However you go about it, being an actual adventurer is as good as it gets as far as adventure jobs go.

3. Search and Rescue (Top Jobs in Wilderness Areas)

If you want to save lives, risk your own, and have amazing adventures along the way, then search and rescue (SAR) jobs would be right up your street.

These are the brave guys and girls who:

Go into the mountains to save the stranded hiker,

Head into the hills to find the missing camper, or

Shoot out to sea to save the struggling swimmer, and so on.

You're operating in the wild outdoors, often in extreme conditions, saving lives on a regular basis. From what I understand, there are also SAR roles in cities...although they definitely don't seem quite as adventurous.

A wide variety of volunteer and paid roles are available in the SAR industry. If you've got relevant skills, experience, insight, and qualifications, there might be just the job for you.

4. Park Ranger (Great Field Guide Jobs)

Being a park ranger might not sound all that adventurous. And, I'd agree, it doesn't seem in the same league as other roles on this list of adventure jobs.

It does, however, share many of the same elements!

You're spending your days outdoors, patrolling campgrounds and set stretches of land, monitoring trails, enforcing rules, keeping the peace, and trying to ensure everyone in the park stays safe and happy. As far as excitement goes, you might be first on the scene of a fire, or responding to injured hikers/campers, or even involved in search and rescue efforts.

To land a park ranger role, expect to need a:

Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline (such as environmental or conservation science),

Passion for the outdoors,

First-aid qualification, and

Flexible schedule that allows you to work on weekends, holidays, and evenings.

6. Professional Outdoor Photographer (Amazing Outdoor Wild Jobs)

Basically everything I said about filmmaking and journalism could apply to professional photographers too!

Master the art of taking amazing photos and, whether you're self-employed or hold an actual position, you can travel all over the world, photographing your adventures and earning money as you go.

From wildlife to extreme sports, there are all sorts of areas to put your talent to work and earn a living in the process.

Maybe a travel magazine's looking for a new photographer, or an outdoor gear brand needs some snaps for their latest marketing campaign.

Perhaps an international modelling agency needs someone with your skillset, or you could use your trailblazing snaps to attract a mass following on social media and become an influencer!

7. Professional Climber/Mountaineer (Ideal Jobs for the Adventurous!)

If you're obsessed with rock climbing/mountaineering, world-class at it (or willing to work hard enough to become world-class), and are happy to dirt-bag life until you officially 'make it', then going pro in either discipline would be the dreamiest of all adventure jobs.

Imagine being flown around the world by big outdoor brands and publications who want to film and photograph you climbing impressive new routes! You'd have all of your gear paid for through sponsorships, earn paid speaking gigs (assuming your achievements were noteworthy enough), and spend your days doing the thing you love most.

Not so long ago, you might have been laughed at for saying you wanted to be a professional climber. But the sport's become so popular in recent years that a) it's increasingly accepted/recognised and b) the opportunities to 'go pro' are more common too.

Once again, there aren't any actual qualifications required to get this job.

With a head for heights, solid work ethic, strong fingers and forearms, and a love of the great outdoors, the position's yours for the taking.

8. Bush Pilot (More Top Jobs In the Wilderness)

Being a pilot of any kind would be adventurous enough for some people- especially in the commercial aviation industry. You'd be jetting off to exotic destinations, staying in hotels funded by the airline, and watching the world pass by from 30,000ft!

If you want a step up in excitement, though, you could spread your wings into bush piloting.

You'd swap the swanky hotels for remote wilderness destinations; the passengers for crucial emergency cargoes. You'd trade the pristine airport terminals and runways for rugged, rough, and dangerous makeshift landing strips; use your high levels of flying ability to do good deeds instead of 'simply' ferrying people to their vacations.

Become a bush pilot doesn't sound overly straightforward- unless you buy your own plane and sell your unique services. You might have to work your way up the ladder before you're put in charge of the plane and be ready to muck in and do more than just flying! You'll need a can-do attitude and a bucket-full of flying talent too.

10. Storm Chaser (Dangerous Expedition Jobs)

Storm chasing has all the core tenets of the best adventure jobs:

High-octane excitement, crazy sights and new experiences, (possible) travel, and a sizeable dose of danger. You're literally doing what the name implies: chasing storms.

Why? It seems like one part thrill and another part science.

The thrill comes from getting up close and personal with giant tornados and hurricanes! You're driving headlong toward (and through) the action, desperate to get the best possible view of what's happening.

The science comes from the fact that most professional storm chasers are legitimate scientists (known as meteorologists) who study big weather events. They might work for the weather service, launching probes into tornadoes to gather data, for example. Take this route and you'll need to get a bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline.

You could also, I suppose, if you can stomach the risk, try storm chasing as a personal passion. Combine it with something like nature photography/filmmaking and you could sell the snaps/footage to make a living.

12. Travel Blogger/Writer (Top Travel Guide Jobs)

If you want an adventure job where you need zero qualifications (other than an insatiable desire to travel and a reasonable way with words) then travel blogging could be for you.

It's a way to make money (eventually, after years of hard work and slow progress) while a) indulging your wanderlust and b) helping readers have their own adventures too!

One thing I'd say about being a travel blogger, though, is that it's as adventurous as you make it.

I mean, some people just spend their days staying in and writing about luxury resorts. That's cool, but I wouldn't call it an adventure.

By contrast, other bloggers are more like genuine adventurers who happen to write a blog. They're off on insane expeditions in remote, far-flung destinations, pushing themselves to the limit and writing about it in their spare time.

I'd say that most travel bloggers, though, are somewhere in-between. They travel a lot, which is adventurous, see and do incredible things along the way, which also contains elements of adventure at times, and record their experiences so that other people may benefit from them.

If they can get enough traffic and incorporate ads, affiliate links, and sponsorship deals into the mix, then they can make sizeable (and often passive) incomes along the way.

13. Deep Sea Diver (Insanely Adventurous Jobs!)

I watched a documentary recently (called Last Breath, on Netflix) about a special type of deep sea diver who had a serious diving accident on one of his first shifts.

I won't spoil what happens, but it was an incredible story and an insight into a job I'd never even heard about before.

Those guys go down into the depths of the ocean for weeks at a time, staying in pressurized submarine-like cabins. They'll then put on these dive suits with umbilical cords on the back (supplying them with oxygen to breathe and hot water for warmth), exit the 'submarine', and step foot onto the ocean floor. Their job?

I guess they do all sorts, but in that documentary they were repairing something on a submerged oil pump. It looked terrifying, alien, and massively adventurous.

Not all deep sea divers will be doing the same thing, of course, and some of them will only be doing it for 'fun', but there's no denying that this would be an ideal adventure job for anyone who's passionate about scuba diving.

As a commercial diver, you might be surveying wrecks, doing salvage work, building underwater structures, and/or rescuing people from submarines.

Don't fancy anything so extreme? Consider being a scuba diving instructor instead.

15. Movie Stuntman/woman

Doing the stunts in films sounds ideal for anyone who likes high-octane adventure and adrenaline-fuelled activities. Given the risks to your physical health, it probably helps to have a high pain tolerance as well...

This job's adventurous for a variety of reasons.

First, you'd be travelling to cool new parts of the world with the film/TV crew. Second, you'll be throwing yourself off buildings, setting yourself on fire, acting out fight scenes, and just generally putting yourself in harm's way so the actors don't have to!

Another cool thing about this job is that you don't need any special qualifications. A can-do attitude, killer work ethic, and a diverse set of relevant experience/skills (such as scuba diving, martial arts, rock climbing, gymnastics, etc) should be enough to land your first role.

16. Instructor of Skydiving/Skiing/Snowboarding/Surfing/Diving/Climbing...

Do you love some sort of extreme sport but don't have the will (or level of ability required) to do it professionally?

Well, whether you surf, climb, skydive, or scuba dive, why not become an instructor instead?! Day in and day out, you'd be doing the adventurous thing that you love most. You'd also be spending time in beautiful natural environments, leading expeditions, and forming close relationships with the other instructors in your team.

The instructors I've met on my travels all seem to have stuff in common too.

They're cool, very chilled out, and love to party.

Those three traits seem to go with the territory of being an extreme sports instructor! If you're similar, then getting qualified as an instructor in your chosen discipline and finding a job at a resort or for a company could be the perfect path.

17. International NGO/Aid Worker

This is one type of adventure job that appeals to me personally.

I just love the idea of working on the ground in foreign countries for an organisation that's making some sort of positive difference.

Aid work might not be adventurous in the typical sense, but you'd still be spending time in unique destinations, experiencing new cultures, and working in intense environments for extended periods of time.

The route to working in this capacity for a major NGO won't be easy though. Expect stiff competition and the need to be both educated and experienced in the field.

18. Geologist

This one might seem a little out of left field. However, I recently discovered that being a geologist doesn't just involve staring, analysing, and talking about rocks all day long.

It's actually pretty bad ass.

Geologists do study earth materials, but some of them also spend time outdoors and/or travelling to different parts of the planet. Whether they're looking for new deposits of oil and gas or researching ancient geological features, they're often off on one adventure or another.

19. Yacht Crew

Anyone who loves the sea and wants to travel in luxury should look into crewing on a yacht.

My girlfriend knows someone who does this and the whole setup sounds dreamy!

Think azure waters in stunning parts of the world, exploring deserted islands on days off, and drifting slowly from one tropical destination to the next. Oh, and your food and accommodation's covered alongside your salary, making it an awesome saving opportunity.

The downside? You're basically a very rich person's slave while you're working.

Don't let the luxury yacht fool you. The role itself could involve anything from cooking meals and cleaning the deck to organizing days out for the owner.

The trickiest part sounds like getting one of these adventure jobs in the first place though.

I'm sure there are designated places where they're advertised. But, from what I gather, it's not what you know but who you know that really counts. A good word from someone who's already working in the industry seems to make all the difference.

20. Cruise Ship Worker

The cruise industry has taken a massive hit throughout COVID.

Assuming it'll get back up and running at some point, though, working on a cruise liner would be another fun-filled way to have adventures and explore the world by water.

Something cool about this particular job for adventurers is that there seems to be a role for everyone- regardless of experience, qualifications, and specific interests.

Housekeeping, entertainment, tour managers, medical roles, and catering positions are just a few of the many things you can do on a cruise boat. You'll be busy, for sure, but you'll also wake up in a new place every day and have free time to embrace this unique port-to-port experience.

21. Astronaut

You'd struggle to find a bigger adventure than going into space. I mean, it's the final frontier!

Whether you're working for NASA or SpaceX, imagine buckling yourself into a rocketship and blasting off into the stratosphere. The idea of seeing earth from space, experiencing what it's like to be weightless, and floating around in the cosmos is a crazy and alluring prospect.

It's cool to think that technology could turn us into an interplanetary species soon. Who knows, there might be masses of new astronaut roles opening up in the future!

In the meantime, you've got your work cut out.

You'll need to be in top physical condition, have expert vision, be a whizz at maths, science, and/or engineering, and, sometimes, have countless hours in control of fighter jets. Only after (approximately) a decade of tests and training do you get the chance to go to space!

22. Teacher

It seems a bit strange listing 'teacher' right after 'astronaut'. But hear me out...

First off, this is a noble profession and good teachers are in high demand. So, unlike other adventure jobs on this list, you shouldn't find it too tricky to land a role!

You also have masses of holiday time throughout the year (compared to other 'everyday' jobs, at least) in which you can jet off to exotic destinations. Throw in the occasional international school trip and teachers have more opportunity than most to visit new places and have adventures.
