My uncle works for Fairplay scoreboards. His job used to be to go to football and basketball games and watch them until the scoreboard messed up. He has watched 10 National Championship football games and countless final 4's and a few Super Bowls. Depending on if the stadium used Fairplay brands. The biggest problem is that he is not a sports fan and does not care. He just an electrical Genious. Besides your friends being in Slipknot, which mine are. What is the coolest job that you envy that a friend or family member has?

My twin bro is a federal agent in the military. He is back from Afghanistan dealing with undercover counterterrorism(Zero Dark Thirty style). I'm sure he has some great stories, unfortunately he will never be able to discuss.

High school teammate (Austin Spitler) plays for the Dolphins. I'd say getting paid to play a sport is a pretty good job.

A guy I went to high school with is a chef for a charter yacht company. He stows away on the yacht and travels to all the exotic locales with them while making gourmet level meals on really flippin' expensive boats. I'm jealous.

Joe Mauer makes 25 million per year and plays golf all winter. So probably him.

AS much as we'd love to be pro athletes I think they have to put up with a lot of crap. Truthfully I really envy my friends who travel a lot or started their own companies/are creative because that's what they love. It seems like going to sleep each night happy with your day would be priceless.

A family friend of mine is in charge of the pro shop for the Patriots. Has a super bowl ring, watches games in suites, and gets to go to some road games.

Homemaker. I'd really like to stay home with my kids. At least until they annoy me.

Be the son of a CEO, know absolutely nothing about the business, have a nice posh office and just go around acting like you are the CEO.

Agree. I tell people all the time I wish i had CW's job. Tell your GF, sorry babe, got to go to work when your doing a basketball rally at Keg Stand or to cover all the games. It would be alot of work but a blast.

My aunt is a corporate tour guide which means she basically goes on company trips and serves as a central point of reference to take care of any issues that come up. Basically she gets paid to be on vacation. She says its pretty awesome.

In general: anybody I know with 750-1,500 acres that can make a living from their farm.

My college friends: By far, me. I was offered about the best position that I could have been as my first job out of college.
