OK, real talk.
Yeah, I know you.
I see your shell-covered phone case and three consecutive years worth of mermaid-themed Halloween costumes.

Probably not as good as youd like.
It always seems like an uphill battle to build (and keep) a decent amount in savings.
But what if your car breaks down, or you have a sudden medical bill?
And you know what else I know?
That your dream of becoming a real, live mermaid could finally, FINALLY come true.
(Go freak out for a minute Ill wait here.)
Were obsessed, too.
(I promise.)
You must be at least 18 years old.
It will probably also help if youre not claustrophobic.
(Why, you ask?
Did you even readthe storyI gave you?!)
you should probably have a wide variety of skills, including everything from sewing to directing underwater shows.
Youll make about $10 an hour starting out butyoull get to be a mermaid, so theres that.
Convinced this job was created specifically for you?
Then its probably time to apply to become a Weeki Wachee mermaid.
Grace Schweizer is a junior writer at The Penny Hoarder.
She hopes all your mermaid dreams come true.
(Can you sense my millennial sarcasm there?)
You know which ones were talking about: rent, utilities, cell phone bill, insurance, groceries…
