Many jobs exist in the world where people are paid to do just that. If you love to talk or have never met a stranger, look for jobs that require you to give others information or that center around you building rapport with people.

Talking About Leadership

Between frequently giving speeches and sharing their platforms with constituents, politicians talk a lot on a daily basis. Senators, representatives and those working in Congress are the most commonly known politicians, but they also include local government officials as well. Politicians frequently inform people about local policies and changes to laws that affect those in their district. They also must regularly campaign to keep their jobs, which requires a lot of talking to the public.

The Sales Pitch

People who work in sales spend the majority of their workday talking so that they can convince people to buy their products and services. The sales process requires agents to inform customers of features and benefits, which usually requires considerable dialogue. The average salesperson sets daily appointments with potential clients.

Training is a frequent part of the sales process as well and it also requires a lot of conversation.

Radio DJs typically speak more off the cuff and for entertainment, unless they are assigned specifically to news reporting.

A Guiding Light
