Dunno if this is being advertised in your neck of the woods, but I could even be tempted to learn to snorkel ;)
Caretaking job (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1111965/Best-job-world-Earn-70-000-live-island-watch-whales-scuba-dive.html)

It said on the radio that it was was being advertised in 18 countries but Australia wasn't one of them.

It's been advertised at the CES for about 2 years but cant find anyone that is interested so they have advertised elsewhere :eek:

Anyway, Ive got the best job in the world,

I get to look out over a Golf course all day, use repair and service machines that were built with service in mind and I dont have to put up with customers arguing with me about bills and saying Ive stuffed something that I havnt etc etc.

When it's hot I can either do book work in my aircond office or go mow something in an aircond cabin andwhen it's cold/raining Im dry and warm in my workshop while the others are in wet weather gear still working.

I complain only that some of the guys dont listen to me when I ask them to operate machines in the way they are intended because I have very little else to complain about.:D

Hey McRover, you reckon you have it good.
I paintball for a crust, I even get to shoot the Boss.
When there's 4WD tours to be done I get paid to drive Landrovers.

"In year-round sunshine... " just like today 340mm rain in the last 24hrs

Thats like further than Portsmith to Lands end people in advertising are soooo funny.

Hmmm. I am getting bored with my current job; I was thinking of retiring this year; and I'd like part-time work.

My PADI certificate is probably expired but I could requalify.

Disadvantage? Living in Qld.

Yes, I can see myself being happy with a job like that.

I work on Hamilton, but don't get paid that much:o

Anyway, my job includes looking at aircraft from airconditioned comfort, driving the fire vehicles each day, maintaining a little of our equipment, watching Austar in our training room........I could go on, but I think you get the picture. Plus I do this for 2 weeks on then 2 weeks off.

Life's not too bad.:twisted:

I always thought that everyone hated their job until I got this one:(

Well now at lease a few of us are quite happy with ours :D

Geez I would hate your job Hymie, sounds way to much excitement for me, Ive got a dodgy heart remeber :p

Well I love my job so much, I went in today to fix a machine even though im still on holidays :twisted:

I really just didnt want them to stuff it up more :cool:
