Not just a dream job... but it's the best job ever!

For US$100,000 just to lounge and chillax bigtime at the Great Barrier Reef, wow that is just so awesome! But on the other hand, let's be happy with our current jobs in the corporate jungle. But if in case you'll be offered this awesome job, it is no doubt that you'll accept it, right? Well, I would!

Australia offers 'best job in world' on paradise island (Yahoo News)



SYDNEY (AFP) – An Australian state is offering internationally what it calls "the best job in the world" -- earning a top salary for lazing around a beautiful tropical island for six months. The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner's home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland's state government announced on Tuesday.


In return, the "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, snorkel the reef, take care of "a few minor tasks" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.


The successful applicant, who will stay rent-free in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy, must be a good swimmer, excellent communicator and be able to speak and write English.


"They'll also have to talk to media from time to time about what they're doing so they can't be too shy and they'll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors," said acting state Premier Paul Lucas.


"The fact that they will be paid to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, snorkel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world."

Mag-isa ka lang sa island? Boo I'm not qualified. I'm a sucky swimmer, if I can swim at all. LOL. Whoever gets this job will have issues after because he/she will forever be haunted. LOL.

Yuhuh mag-isa ka sa island. Pero may mga communication tools ka naman so that you're still in-touch with the world. LOL. It's up to how he/she will view it, whether a haunting or zen-and-uber-relax experience.

Kewl! I'm afraid of all the poisonous animals along Australia's coast though... :S

Hmmm... I'm not a very good swimmer either. Oh well...
