Me .... I get to run a nuclear reactor for a living. Not gonna lie, it's a pretty good gig and they pay me way more than I am worth. Oh and during my training I saw the world and got to go deeper into the ocean than most people will ever have a chance to go.

I know someone that is paid to sleep for 8 hours. She goes to work in her PJs and sleeps from 10pm to 6am then gets up and heads home for the day. This is an actual, real job. Blows my mind.

I was friends with paul. He was my roomate in 1997. I got Sid in the band. His first mask was my Marine Corps gas mask. I also went to high school with Corey Taylor and bar tended at Safari for shawn Crahan. Also went to junior high with shawn Economaki from stone sour. I also have gone on vacation with Joey Jordisons sister Katie and her now husband shawn. Thats my history with Slipknot.

The guy who announced the powerball numbers twice a week.

Iowa State University Registrar....seriously, wish I would have targeted some cushy academic seat-warming position when i was 18.

The statue of Liberty waving at people to get their taxes done.

Social Security Administrator.

That guy.

Lead Banjo for Florida Georgia Line.

Ambassador to Argentina or Luxembourg.

The guy with the sweet salary who decides what shows are worthy of Iowa Public Television. (The state wrestling coverage SUCKS btw. 1986 called and wanted it's television graphics back. Seriously, what do you guys do there?!?!? Give Tavis Smiley contracts and then ask me for more money to "produce" state wrestling coverage with your commodore 64 and a vhs camera.)

Not all that much. Her husband is in the service and she picked up this job because he is away so much. It's a group living apartment complex for people that are slightly challenged, but are able to live on their own. She is there just in case somebody needs help with something, but since she works the night shift all these folks are asleep so she just sleeps as well (in the common area on the couch). She told me only one time in the last year one of the tenants woke her for some aspirin....otherwise, it's sleepy time for her. Her "boss" is ok with it as well so long as she is there in the common area in case someone needs her.

Just aim those babies at the bad guys. You guys kick ***............the average Good Morning America viewer needs to be reminded how great our nation is that we can put these freaking awesome ships out there to protect us. Thank you.

Not someone I know personally, but I saw where this couple get paid to spend time at various high quality tropical resorts 6 months out of the year to help them improve their customer service. I could do that.

My 2nd cousin is a travel writer....they (husband and wife) do pretty much the same thing.

During a recent trip to Florida's Marco Island, I saw a guy on a tractor every morning running a drag over the sand to fluff it up. That would be the perfect retirement job for me; tractor, coffee, radio, and beach.

Not one of you envy the starter on the golf course? That's my dream retirement. Shoot the **** with everybody that comes and get free golf. Count this as my goal.

I think the gal from Iowa Public Radio who got fired and then won a settlement of $197,000 for getting her feelings hurt had THE best job in the world.

Pat Sajak. Work about 4 hours a week. Based on his hair, he doesn't even waste time with that. I think he rolls out of bed and walks into the studio. No discernible skills. Works with the ageless beauty Vanna White.

Heck, even Trebek works harder on pronunciation.

No celebrity stalker problem. If one of his fans bugs him, he just locks up the wheels on their walker and strides away.

Thought maybe she took Lil' Abner's job as a mattress tester but pretty sure he was replaced by a mechanical dummy. Okay, anyone under 55 or so is going to have to google this reference.
