Jobs

You can make your dreams come true. Check out these cool jobs to see what it takes to turn them into a reality

If the words engineering and excitement strike you as an oxymoron, then you haven't heard about these jobs. From playing with toys to helping create movie blockbusters to exploring space, the jobs described below are anything but boring. Kind of makes you wonder why everyone doesn't pursue a career in engineering.

Paid to Play

Though we beg for them as a child, toys might not come to mind when you think of engineering careers.

Except if you're someone like Shannon Bruzelius. He was your typical Toys-R-Us kid, playing with everything from action figures to train sets. "I always thought it would be cool to work for a toy company."

But Bruzelius didn't begin his career by following this dream. Instead, he took the well-traveled road of many mechanical engineers and accepted a position with a utility company located in Colorado, all the while wondering if he could use his engineering skills to pursue a career with a toy manufacturer. After a year, Bruzelius decided to stop wondering and find out. He resigned from the utility company, packed his bags and moved to the toy-company hub of Northern California. "I hadn't talked with anyone there before moving, but at least I would be in a place where I could be in contact with [toy companies]," he says.

Once there, Bruzelius worked odd engineering jobs during the day and sent resumes to area toy companies at night. He arranged as many informational interviews as he could, hoping to gain insight into the toy industry, while putting his name and face before people who could make a difference in his job search.
