Really Exist
http://aplus.com/a/15-Real-Amazing-Fun-Jobs
1. "World of Warcraft" Game Tester
Spend all your spare time playing "Warcraft"? Why not
get paid for it? Blizzard Entertainment has a number of
game industry jobs, the most fun one being "tester."
So if someone complained that you spend way too much
time gaming you could simply respond "It's my job."
4. Wine Taster and Blogger
2. You might have to temporarily move to wine country for
this job. One California blogger lived rent-free, drank
wine, and got paid 10 grand a month to tweet about his
experience.
I guess he took that old adage "get drunk on life" to heart.
7. Bike-Riding Photographer
Google Maps hired two men to ride around France on a
special bike that takes photos of historical sites that are
inaccessible by car.
3. Sure, they might get some strange looks riding around on
that contraption, but who cares. After all, they get to travel
through one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in
the world andget paid for it.
10. Beer Taster
Many breweries hire technologists to check the quality of
their beer. Others want to hire tasters to help in the
development of new brews.
To be good at this job, you need to really appreciate and
distinguish between the variety of flavors in different
beers. So if you know anyone who likes
science and drinking, tell them you've found the perfect
career for them.
13. Airplane Repo Agent
4. We're not sure why this is on the list. When people can't
pay for their airplanes, companies hire people to
repossess it. A "repo agent" can get paid up to 6 percent to
10 percent commission on the resale of the plane.
It's a stressful,often very dangerous job. We can't lie,
we're not seeing anything fun or amazing about this job.
16. Hotel Reviewer
5. Imagine getting to check out top hotels and not having to
pay a thing for them. Reviewers get to experience luxury
accommodations and all they have to do in return is write
up their critiques.
What could be more perfect than this job? Having your
lover get the same job and travelling around together.
19. Professional Zombie
Are you the type of person who likes jumping out and
scaring your friends? If so, you might want to apply as a
6. professional zombie at The London Dungeons. They
currently employ 50 staff members to do just that.
Bonus: You don't have to worry about what you're going
to look like every day because your work uniform is to
look dead.
22. Director Of Fun
An ambitious 6-year-old wanted to become the director at
York's National Railway Museum. He even wrote up an
application expressing his passion for trains.
His age might have prevented him form getting that job,
but the staff created the honorary new "Director of Fun"
position just for him. It just shows, if you want something
bad enough, you can make it happen.
25. LEGO Sculptor
7. LEGO has certified professionals who build models in
LEGOLAND Discovery Centers around the world.
Want the job? Submit a video of one of your models. If
they like it, you might find yourself in a LEGO-building
battle. With only around 30 of these jobs in the world, the
competition is intense.
28. Chocolate Consultant
8. Really, who wouldn't want this job? There's are a variety
of chocolate consultant positions from high street brands
to niche brands.
Forget wine tasting, some people run chocolate tastings
and events instead. Not only does this job revolve around
socializing, but it's tasty too.
31. Luxury Bed Tester
Does anyone really have this job? Yep, a student from
Birmingham City University landed a job at a luxury bed
company. They paid her 1000 pounds to sleep on designer
beds every day for a month. The goal was to distinguish
which ones offered the best night's sleep.
Get paid while you sleep then spend your days doing
whatever you want. Now that's what you'd call a true
"dream" job.
34. Candy Taster
9. Life is a bowl of candies for one 12-year-old who has the
coveted position of "Chief Taster" of top secret candy
recipes. He said his job makes him feel like he's jumped
into the book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
Uh, hello, adults eat candy too and we'd snap up the
chance to make a living by feeding our sweet tooth.
37. Waterslide Tester
A 29-year-old has travelled over 27,000 miles to a variety
of resort destinations with the sole purpose of trying out
10. waterslides. He tests height, speed,water quantity and
landing.
It must get tiring going to places like Greece, Jamaica, and
Egypt.
Nope. Who are we kidding? It sounds like the most fun
job yet.
40. Paradise Island Caretaker
Remember that resort job hiring campaign that went
viral? It was for the position of caretaker on Hamilton
Island on The Great Barrier Reef. It required the person to
relax, swim and explore the island while blogging about
their experience.
About 35,000 people applied, but only one was hired.
We'd still take those odds any day.
