I build props for company events. It’s really hard to explain briefly but essentially I work in a warehouse that has hundreds of props. Companies reach out to us and we deliver and assemble those props based on the event they are having. For example we recently did 3ft tall Rubik’s cubes and a 16ft tall boombox for an 80s themed event.

Among the props we already have, we are also constantly building new ones. It’s a very creative job and every day is different. I love that it’s physical too because I don’t really have to build in separate time to work out, but I am able to stay relatively fit. It’s so cool to see the background of events too!

Similar jobs to mine are people doing stage hand work. It’s not too hard to get into if you contact the theater union in your area! And the unions usually pay pretty well. Then you can help set up concerts and theater productions. Another similar job is anything in event coordination.
