Merchant Stronghold 10 BEST JOBS IN THE WORLD
10) CHOCOLATE CONSULTANTS
Sounds strange? But yes, this job’s all about chocolate. Chocolate consultants are first of all chocolate tasters that try new recipes. The only and main qualification for this job is to actually enjoy eating chocolate and a very steady blood sugar level. But every job comes with its pros and cons. Smoking is strictly prohibited while at this job as it can distort ones sense of taste. In 2012, Britain’s chief chocolate taster, Angus Kennedy, who was earning close to $39,000 a year sampling Mars and Nestle treats ahead of production, had to quit his dream job because he had put on serious weight and his cholesterol levels were starting to threaten his health.
9) VIDEO GAME TESTERS
Playing games all day and getting paid for it? Bring it on!! Unlike other entries on this list, this job is more widely available as gaming companies across the world always test new titles before releasing them. Video game testers can work full-time at one of the many game development companies around the world or as freelancers. Some insist that getting paid to play video games is the best job they’ve had, while others point out that being forced to replay the same section of a broken game level while finding and documenting glitches and exploits can be a soul-crushing experience.
8) BED BOUNCING DIRECTORS
Either way, in theory, this job is better than most. With this job, you can yawn as much as you want. You can even fall asleep, in fact, you have to because bed bouncing directors are paid to rate the softness and overall comfort of a bed. *Just give me my throw, please!* There’s a catch though, you may not be able to get more than a nap because you have tens of thousands of beds to review every year. The original bed bouncing director, Natalie Thomas of the Premier Inn Hotel chain tests about 46,000 beds every year. If that’s too much for you, some bouncing directors become testers for luxury beds and are paid to rate the most expensive mattresses around the globe.
7) WATER SLIDE TESTERS
Some people are actually paid to use water slides and go to water parks, as much as $34,000 a year. The lucky few who have this job aren’t confined to a single waterpark either. They often travel the world testing the newest and most ingenious water slides ever designed. Theoretically, this job has its dangers, but if there are any, they are minimal. Waterslide testers review slides that are already operational, ranking them not so much for safety but for their fun factor. Job availability may not be very high, but for thrill seekers it’s well worth the wait.
6) OUTBACK ADVENTURERS
The Australian Outback isn’t for the fainthearted. The vast arid interior of the country of kangaroos is a land of rough terrains- funnel web spiders, and deadly drop bears. But for adventurers it’s a dream come true. Outback adventurers protect wildlife, help the 690,000 strong local population and travel the area taking in the stunning sites. On top of the amazing new experiences, this job nets about $67,000 a year.
5) ICE-CREAM TASTERS
Some people in this world are actually paid to eat ice cream. Apart from spoonfuls of colorful delight, ice cream tasters bank in some serious cash. As much as $53,000 a year in fact, but ice cream tasters need more than eclectic taste buds and quality control skills. They need a Bachelors of Science degree in dairy science or food science. A degree for food! By all accounts, ice cream tasting seems to be less dangerous than chocolate tasting, especially when you consider that the professional ice cream taster John Harrison has tasted, in his 30 year long career, about 60 different flavors every day for a total of about 200 million gallons of ice cream. The fact that he is still alive would no doubt be a miracle if we didn’t know that he doesn’t actually ingest all of the ice cream he eats.
4) LEGO SCULPTORS
Lego is one of the most popular toys in the world, and then Denmark-based company behind it wants to keep it that way, hence Lego sculptors. Over the last couple of years, Lego has been publicly hiring Lego sculptors to play with the ubiquitous toys and come up with new designs that will amaze visitors to Legoland. Attention to detail and being dexterous are listed as job qualifications, and the pay isn’t all that bad either, which is about $10 an hour.
