Best job in the world

[djeuch]

Okay - other than being a photographer, what's your idea of the best job in the world?

Here's my vote:

MythBusters:

These guys have the best job in the whole world. Go around, proving or disproving random stuff, blowing things up, building full-size remote control cars, etc., and the list goes on!

I would almost pay to do that job!

Beat that!

Since I retired and my wife is working I have taken over the kitchen and enjoy doing the cooking. I think being a chef would be cool. For a classy place not the local coffe shop or pancake house.

Angelina Jolie's massage therapist would have to be right up there :-)

[20droger]

Writing.

Prior to my marriage, I would have said in a cabin with an uplink on a mountaintop. Now I would say a medium sized RV (with an uplink) so I can take her from one photo-birding site to another.

That was going to be my choice for my career when I got out of school. I was all registered for college and ready to go. A family friend got me a job in the kitchen of the Chateau Lake Louise (http://www.fairmont.com/LakeLouise/). I realized that I didn't like making 20 gallons of coleslaw or making 400 of the same desert. Sometimes I regret not going forward with this but I changed my mind and ended up working for an airline for 30 odd years. I enjoyed that alot.

If I had a chance to do it all over again and pick anything I wanted I am not sure I would do it any differently other than go to college/university first. The airline industry is a pretty cool place to work.

The ideal job is the one I have now... Retired!

[gary88]

For me, a Top Gear host. No doubt about it.

[S.Horton]

S*x therapist, no question.

Real answer: Dad.

[Mum2J&M]

The job I love to hate. Being a Mom.

[Chris Dana]

I am doing what I one thought would be the best job in the world. Genetics/biochemistry. Not so much the best job anymore.

I am, however, looking forward to my new job in September; father.

[WorkingClassHero]

Given the chance to go back and start again, something in the sciences. Probably marine biology or meteorology.

I have to agree with this one too though. Who could resist building a Space Shuttle from a Reliant Robin? (http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=SIrgAXxVU7k&feature=related)

For me, a Top Gear host. No doubt about it.

The sooner that people realize that Jamie is really a robot, the non-violent prototype for the Terminator, the closer you would be to getting his job. Look at the evidence, Adam is ROFL like a normal human being and Jamie just stands there, he might deadpan a "good one " or something after a crazy cool explosion. He has to be a robot.

[gary88]

I think Jamie has the sweetest TV mustache, ever.

[DVS_WiNdz]

For me, a Top Gear host. No doubt about it.

Hehe. That would be cool. Getting to drive all those exotic cars :D

[gjl711]

I gotta agree with the Mythbusters job. That would be very fun. But the ultimate I think is Phil Keoghan's job. He gets to travel the planet twice a year going from one exotic location to another on the companies coin.

[SlowBlink]

My dream job would be travel and photography combined with working for the UN...with Angelina Jolie.

[yogestee]

Teaching English language in a developing country..I love it!!

[Chet]

A crash test dummy. Oh the things you could see and remember as your life would flash before your eyes on a daily bases. Of course I would get weekends and holidays off. ;)

[Perry Ge]

Beer taster. :lol:

[flashmedic]

paramedic...if you can get past the sick people, the angry people, the stupid people, the bad weather, the bad drivers, the bad roads, the missing meals, the missing holidays, the long hours, the low pay, the never being home on time, the danger of needles, the danger of catching whatever "they" have, the danger of pissing off the medical director, the stress of holding someone's life in your hand(s), the stress of not being able to do enough, the stress of keeping up your license and never being 100% sure you're coming home that night...it's the best job in the world - and I'm glad it's paying my bills (until the photography pays my bills, or my knees/back/nerves give out - which ever comes first)

I know someone who was... and this is supposed to convince me? :)

That's a job I could not do!

[ssidiv3r]

My job right now is fine. I'm a lifeguard pool parties at an indoor pool. Most of the kids can swim, I've had to jump in and get quite a few kids that COULDN'T but for the most part it's easy. Unfortunately hot girls never come to the pool parties :(

[GilesGuthrie]

Lamborghini test driver would suit me.

[NickSimcheck]

I saw a clip on the new Indiana Jones website that made me think "Wow, how much fun would it be to be a director with a huge budget" I've never admired the job really, thought about how stressfull everything would be.. but in that one circumstance where you have a ton of money the whole thing seems like you're just doing it for fun.

[xpsentity]

Travel writer, photographer, chef.

Wait....

Seems I'm doing it.

(Plus my other, crappier job)

[Stavhp]

Pilot of something fast, thinking a Eurofighter,
I'll take anything though, just as long as its a fighter jet!

[Brianbar]

A bed tester sounds good to me.

I would have liked to have been a computer game designer starting back in the early days of personal computers. Now a days you need a big team of specialists to create a computer game but back then you could almost do it yourself.

[squashed]

I love my job as a Radio Disc Jockey. I just dont like the work that happens when I get off the air in the morning.

[sevillafox]

I would love Samantha Brown's job from Passport to Europe or Great Hotels. Get paid to go to cool places, see stuff normal people don't get to, and stay in fancy hotels. Sounds like fun. Well, as long as I can bring my family and camera. ;)

[_aravena]

Stunt driver. Ever since I started racing (have since quit) and rather well, it'd be so much more fun to do it legal and with stunts. :D

[Dave.H]

The Stig!

[Connor P Price]

The Stig!

+1 The Stig would be the greatest job title ever.

Ditto! I love to hate that ___tch!

[LW Dail]

Can I be Art Wolfe's second shooter?

or Samantha Brown.

I'm actually pondering cruise ship photographer! No really!

[neilwood32]

For me, a Top Gear host. No doubt about it.

The ability to spout forth about something I know little about (in the spirit of Jeremy C) while trashing unfeasably expensive cars makes that a winner in my books!:cool:

[S7000]

Whiskey chef.

[S.Horton]

Angelina Jolie's massage therapist would have to be right up there :-)

+10
bw!

[sunnygirl]

Healthy Retiree

[Duncs]

I wouldn't mind this job http://www.islandreefjob.com/

[cbacarella]

I agree 100 percent!


If it wasnt something to do with photography, something car related for sure. Where i got to test drive the latest and greatest and beat the crap out of expensive cars!!

[soulstar]

For me, it has to be an NBA Player. Whether it be a benchwarmer or superstar, you get thousands or probably millions to play the game that you love. Sounds like the best job to me.
