The Worlds Best Jobs

[Chinman3000]

List what you believe to be the best 3 jobs in the world.

The best jobs for most would mix, good salary & job security, challenging & varied work, flexible / convenient hours providing a good work life balance.

So think hard. Try not to be hilarious and jump in with blow (job) or beer taster - remember it could become a busman’s holiday.

Mine;

1. Pilot
2. Sports car manufacture test driver
3. International Property Developer

i reckon premier league football is up there if your passion is football. Get paid an insane amount of money and have a pretty decent amount of time off

or if you're not that fussed about actually playing- a 2nd choice goalkeeper at a premier league club

As above, the guy who follows all the England cricket tours, just to give a five minute piece to camera per day, for Sky Sports News - that's a pretty cushy number.

The position I used to have wasn't far off many people's idea of a dream job, mind. I was Sports Timing Manager, operating systems for my company at televised major sports events in the UK and all around the world. Olympic Games, World Championships, Swimming World Cup, Horse Racing, Speedway, Motorsport, etc. A week to a month at a time in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Canada, Shanghai, Stockholm, Prague, Switzerland, Reykjavik, etc, etc. I did it for 10 years, then switched to a more desk based role, as I was spending too much time away from my family.

That's the thing though - the reality is probably never as glamorous as the perception. I for one had certainly had my fill of airports, hotels and swimming pools.

You can't get shitfaced at Christmas though. And you have to be a 'role model'.

Too much time travelling for my liking. Don't they spend months at a time travelling round places? I'd rather have the freedom to go where I liked (and not have to spend every day with Chris Martin)
