My task this week was to find out, in no nonsense terms how to answer this question – Who has the best job in the world?

The options seemed endless… Is it the paradise island caretaker with a massive salary? Is it the luxury bed tester that gets paid for sleeping in the most expensive beds in the world?

What about a jet fighter pilot – wouldn’t that be right up there?

Other top jobs could include

• Resort waterslide tester
• Wine tester
• Candy Taster
• Condom tester

and many more.

How can a job be considered better than the rest? What may seem like paradise to one person, could be a nightmare for another.

After careful consideration, our team at Job Hunters concluded the following criteria, in no particular order, should be considered in rating the popularity of a job:

1./ Fantastic salary

2./ Work environment

3./ Work/life balance

4./ Location

5./ Job satisfaction

However this is of course highly objectionable considering that everyone has different opinions about what they consider to be important. If you were already independently wealthy for instance, you would probably not rate a fantastic salary as something that defined a job’s greatness.

While researching for this article I even found a guy that smokes pot to earn a living!

Summary
At the end of all this I realized that there is no definitive “Best Job in the World”. Potentially all of us could have it at our fingertips. It’s an individual thing and opinions will inevitably vary from one person to another.

What do you think the best job in the world would be? Please share your thoughts and experiences with us as we’d love to hear your stories!

Meanwhile, Happy Hunting!
