Travel writing ain't all that 'weird'.. maybe you mean unconventional . All career options, however weird, are completely possible. If you have the drive and are mad about it you will get there in any unconventional career. What one must not do is put too much importance on a comfortable lifestyle and play safe in the beginning. Be focused and dead mad about what you're passionate about, and as the great Lester Bangs said, 'be honest and unmerciful.'

Cheers,

Hi,

Let me tell you about the unconventional career options i have seen in my institute .

1) a senior who had done his graduation in law completed his mba and went beck to law
2) fellow students started a company and have published the first edition of their businessmagazine
3) students planning to opt for phd (very few ppl take this route after mba,, as for most of the junta mba is the route for the green moolah)
4) another alumnus started a school
5) an alumnus got his first book of poems published while he was in the second year of his mba


I agree with Apurv when he says that passion for the idea can turn any unconventional path into a lucrative career option. we can always look for inspiration around us. but then its upto us to be committed in letter and in spirit to our dreams

regards

Just to add to what Apurv has said, if you wanna be different for the sake of being different, then you might bid that idea Adieu rightaway ;-)
