Dream Job....Getting Paid To Watch Football


What would you consider a dream job? If you could sit around and get paid to do one thing, what would it be? Are they out there?

Of course they are.

I would consider a dream job to be something like being a beer tester or even a brewmaster. And a porn star would be fun. As long as it was in a clean environment and the chicks were average or above (who am I kidding?). Anthony Bourdain has a wonderful job traveling the globe eating delicious foods from every sort of country. As well as most events journalists that get backstage passes front row seats to everything that is sweetness.

Well Anthony White has his idea of a dream job. He's the assistant designer at EA's Tiburon studio in Maitland, Florida where they pay him to sit in on football games on a daily basis. But what exactly does he do? YahooGames.com's Mike Smith has him quoted,

"I am responsible for the design of the X's and O's," White told the Sentinel. "How teams play in the game. How players react to certain situations that come up. The coaching tendencies."

Yeah, that sounds pretty freakin' cool. But I wonder if he stumbles upon little secrets of info that pro team's would love to get their grubby mitts on? Maybe not, but his job is at the top of the heap for dream jobs listed at ListAfterList.com and here's the rest.

Video Game Designer -- Salary: Starts at $25,000 with high growth potential.
Brewmaster -- Salary: $30,000-$60,000 per year
Toy Creator – Salary: Average is $57,000 per year.
Comic Book Guru -- Starts around $20,000 per year.
Casino Host -- Salary: $15 per hour and up.

So get out there and get a dream job. Even if you're no good at it. Remember what Kurt Vonnegut said, "If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind."
