World's best job question.

[JonnyBoy12]

What is the best job in the world? Some people say that it is that of front line pilot, but is it really that simple. Has anyone here got the world's best job, and if so then what is it?

I used to work behind the bar in a lap dancing club, that's gotta be up there!

The world's best job is one you enjoy doing constantly. Probably different for everyone.

I thought the guy who had the best job was the one who looked after some islands and coral reef somewhere in Australia

I love my job, others would loathe it - it's a very individual thing.

I have always claimed that I have the best job in the world but the worst paid.

[joko]

the best job is the one you would continue to do even if you became unemployed...ie, something you enjoy, a hobby...

Retirement

My OH's a midwife - after 30 years on delivery, she can still cry with the new parents...

DTcrossiefan - I think Midwife is the oldest profession - don't you?

If I thought for one nanosecond I could have the same standard of living as a professional musician, I'd never write another line of code again. I don't know any other amateur musician who doesn't feel the same way...

I always reckoned the world's best job must be bed-tester

[JonnyBoy12]

Thanks for your speedy and ever helpful answers, folks. It would help us more if you said what you all did, and I do like the sound of that last job. Is it testing beds in the way I like best?

Didn't you ask what is the best job in the world, not what job do you do?

I agree with Professional Musician, but I'd also like to run boat trips on sunny days in calm water.

the best job is what you enjoy doing and passionate about. I like photography and travelling and the best job for me would be a photojournalist's job or a travel photographer's job.

Employment ruins good hobbies. Never risk an interest by having to do it all the time.

Not sure I can think of any task that was so great I'd enjoy doing it for all time. Just want to get out of the rat race and the unreasonable demands. Just worry that when I do there won't be enough hobbies & interests to keep life bearable.
