Car Designer
Car lovers who are equal parts artistic and mechanical will be perfect fits for the car designer role. These are the people who sketch out new car ideas.

Stunt Car Driver
If your favorite part of any movie are the action-packed car chase scenes (and you enjoy re-enacting some of those scenes yourself) stunt car driving is calling your name. These professionals need to do whatever the director of the movie, TV show, or commercial wants them to do. You’ll definitely need to know how to handle a car in all conditions, but the adrenaline rush will be worth it!
Professional Test Driver
A dream job for many would be getting to drive and give feedback on cars that haven’t been released yet.

This is perfect for the opinionated car lover!
Auto Blogger
This dream job is probably the most easily attainable. If you’ve got a computer and a passion for cars, you’re already 90% of the way there! This role is similar to an automotive journalist, but you’ll be your own boss. It might take some patience and clever Search Engine Optimization tactics to gain followers and make money from your blog, but at least you’ll enjoy the journey of writing about something that you love!
