Default The Best Job In The World

The six-month stint will require the successful applicant to bunk in a luxury villa, explore neighbouring islands, swim, snorkel, discover wildlife, and the locals.

They will also blog about their island adventures.

Oh, and the pay is $150,000 Australian (approx $99,000 US)

Oh yeah, I remember hearing that the winner of that dream job contest had tattooed the resort's name and phone# or something like that on her arm. Crazy.

That was actually a sample application video. They are taking applications until February and then they start narrowing it down.

actually the best job in the world would go to Markus, the founder of plentyoffish.com

he makes 10 million per year, and only works less than 1 hour a day.
