This is a list of every job I can think of just off the top of my head. Some are jobs that people I know are actually doing. Some are ones I hear about from others, and some are jobs I am just aware of as a periphery to the work I do.
Some of these jobs require an obvious degree or intense training, but more than you think require no prior experience and you could start with 20 hours or less of self directed learning.
