What's the no. 1 fun job in the world?

One of our people has a pretty fun job.

She's a shoe shopper. I kid you not.

One of our divisions makes women's shoes. We sell a lot to South America and Europe. She's based out of Hong Kong.

Her job is to travel through Europe and buy shoes of new designs to bring back for trends and inspiration (no, we do not knock them off!). But they look at colors, textures, construction, materials, fit, quality, comfort, and other design influences to see what the competition does and get a better handle on what new products we want to make.

I think if you told most women that your job was a professional shoe shopper and you could buy any pair of shoes you wanted traveling through Europe on someone else's dime, that would rate pretty highly!

 

^^ what is it with women and shoes?

 

Whatever job Valentino Bilboa had before he retired.

 

A Driver for Force India's Formula One team. You get to drive a F1 car, and you only have to do an okay job at it. Or be the #2 at Ferrari, then all you have to do is stay out of the way of Alonso.

 

Aside from killer58, I'd say the #1 job would be Blue Angel opposing solo.

 

It doesn't exist anymore unfortunately, but Sled driver (SR71 pilot) is it.

 

Muchas gracias.

 

I read in "Skunk Works" there was a pilot who had the dubious distinction of being the only pilot to crash two Blackbirds. Between the CIA single seater and the two-seater many know, about half ended up in fireballs. Dangerous stuff...

I would guess that test driver for lets say Porsche or BMW would be pretty awesome. Just drive the thing to see if it breaks or not. Being that it's german, it won't.

 

Is the tube running down the left side for spent shells?

 

I do everyday

My family has owned Deli's and various other eaterie's for over 40 years, I am biased because all I do at this point is show up at 10 and run a cash register till 2 then make the rounds to other locations just picking up the money. We are contractor's with oil companies so we have an upper class clientele with alot of eye candy I get to see on a daily basis.

 

+1

Or being a super documentary and commercial guy like Errol Morris. Award winning docs, a few mil a year shooting commercials, professor, NYT columnist - being rewarded for all around story telling and analytical skill.

 

I know a corporate magician that makes Quaduple that estimate.

 

And, I'll wager that your work is stimulating and satisfying.

 

I'd go for being an X-15 pilot!

 

I would say that Jeremy Clarkson has the best job in the world.
