just seen this article in the orange news quirkies. i am struggling to think of a better job than being a beach tester.

full story: http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/Lifestyle_mag_seeks_beach_tester

i love the bit where it says "candidated must have the ability to rest, or do nothing for long periods of time"

they say they've recieved hundreds of applications, and i think they will have one more from me by the end of the day

Doesnt metion if you get payed or not though

But i reckon all the expenses would be paid for so i gues you wouldnt need to be paid.

Sweet job though.
Could be stressful at times

Considering most beach places are boiling hot and I hate it when its too hot, its a pretty terrible job in my opinion.

I actually find beaches a little bit annoying. I hate sand.

Included in the job assignment is going on outings, lying on beach chairs, drinking wine in local taverns, and other ordinary assignments found in a commercial beach and tourist environment," reads the ad.

It's not boring at all. Just think of what else you could be getting up to.

I'd have thought the best job ever would be prefixed with, "blow"? :confused:

Didn't the lad who got that job break his leg or cut it open on the reef or something and had to return home. I seem to remember something a long those lines any way.

Sounds perfect for me!

Didn't some actress has an assistant who's job was rub ice on her nipples before a scene?

As long as I can have both a book and a tablet, sign me up.

Muuhh buy a new one, you aren't going trio have any living expenses.

I'm extremely good at doing tedious jobs as long as Im making money.
I think most people would loath it after about 6weeks.

If you prefer the indoor lifestyle, a friend of mine used to be a SysAdmin at a Catholic girls school.

Me? In a Catholic schoolgirl's dorm? With my reputation?

They'll probably be those crappy pebbley beaches anyway.
