You're Hired

Out of all the jobs this planet has, you have to know whether you have a good one or not. You could be a lion tamer or a monkey trainer but if YOU don't enjoy your job, then your job sucks. Personally, I have a few preferences of the ultimate jobs that I would love to have as my title. On the flipside, there are a handful of ones I would dread going to day in day out. I want to have a job thats more of a "hobby". I don't want to see it as a job per-say. With that said, I have rounded up my top choices to 5. (No particular order or rank)

1) National Geographic Narrator-
Seriously, have you heard these guys talk. They could ramble on about a Himalayan mountain goat and still make it sound interesting. They just read a card with their sick sounding, often British-tinged accent. All you would have to do is to speak into a mike and that's it. Also, it would be unreal to pick up at a bar/party. Girls would dig the smooth talk coming from a voice like that. "I have been on T.V" also would fit here ahha

2) Back Up NHL/Soccer Goalie-
You play a 8th of what your starter does and you get the same perks more less that he does. You don't have any pressure since you don't make the big contract like the number 1 guy. You can be a hero on any night and you can be a 15 minute celebrity. All in all, sure you're in someones shadow, but that is out-weighed by the perks.

3)NHL TV Timeout/ShootOut Ice Scrapper-
Again, no pressure here. You actually get paid to watch a hockey game. You could have a beer or two and then scrape the ice for 30 seconds. You also would be around all the big NHL stars too so that could serve a purpose on many levels. If you get a sweet bunch of co-workers, it could be a great work environment.

4)Museum guy with the white gloves and odd looking tux-
I'm not sure exactly what this guys title would be but it would be something like Professor or Dignitary. You walk around the museum with all the stuck up people and you talk crap about art. You also move/align the painting or what not and you get the honour of saying, "Behind the velvet rope mad'am. Don't touch the painting sir. The washroom is around the corner". You could also be a huge creeper and see how long you could keep your job. Be the best at being the "who is that in the background of the picture" guy. Fun stuff could occur.


5)Wine Tester-
You get free wine. You get free cheese. You could get a "free" anything here. The possibilities are endless. You get an unreal suit and you could get sick business cards and just mingle with the folks. One occasion, you could be Bert Stamsford from Hollyrood. The next event, you could be Dr. James Chow. Think of the things you could do. I think i smell a new movie with this premise.... coming soon


So, there you go, my top 5 jobs. Look out for me!
