The Club of Queer Trades
I've always enjoyed learning about people who are making a living or at least a partial living by creating very unique enterprises. Thus I was delightfully surprised when I began to read The Club of Queer Trades and found that it was about doing just that. Though this story was fictional, I read it with an eye towards our everyday reality and was humored when Arturo confessed that he actually tried to start a small business around the idea!
"The Club of Queer Trades is a society consisting exclusively of people who have invented some new and curious way of making money....
The candidate must have invented the way in which he earns his living.
It must be an entirely new trade.
The trade must be a genuine source of income and support the inventor."
After reading about the membership rules for being included in The Club of Queer Trades, I began to think of people living right now who are making their livings in very unconventional and yet creative ways.
