There are quite a few contenders for the title of the best job in the world. Cake tester springs to mind, while I seem to remember a UK student getting paid to lie in bed for a month. We can do better than that though, can’t we?
Wouldn’t it be great to be a Montreal paintball instructor. I have always wanted to live in Canada and while firing paint at people isn’t a life long ambition of mine it does sound like fun. Can you imagine phoning and sighing that you need to work overtime, before running over and splatting a few more people as it starts to get dark?
I wouldn’t mind serving tea at a Mad Hatters Tea Party. I guess that it would get a bit racuous in there but it would be a lot more fun than working in a cafe or restaurant. While we are it I could branch out and make some more money by running tea parties for chimps as well. I could become known as the person who isn’t afraid to serve tea any person or beast, which would look excellent on my CV.
I have to confess that I have always been drawn to the highly alluring world of road painting. I could fill up my machine with road marking paint and head off to find unpainted roads. I reckon that I would feel pretty good about doing something worthwhile for society as I did this, and it would be great to see the results of a hard day of line painting.
Or maybe I could dress up as the Swamp Thing. I am not really sure who would pay me to dress up as Swamp Thing but someone somewhere must need me to do it. When I think about it, there are far more interesting jobs around than I had previously thought. It is just a question of finding the right one at the right time.
