BEST JOB EVER!!!!


Out of work? Hate what you do? Well this is for you!

The heads of Australia tourism are offering up what they say is the best job in the world -- they need a caretaker for a paradise island. The job pays $70,000 for the six-month gig but given the minimal work required, it works out to about $1,000 an hour!

The new position on Hamilton Island, on the Great Barrier Reef, requires no academic qualifications, but applicants must be able to swim and have an "adventurous attitude". Included is a free three-bedroom house and free flights. So what exactly do you have to do? Well those doing the hiring say they want the person to promote the island to a "global market" and the only requirement is that he or she keeps a blog of what's going on-- a job that should take less than three hours a week. The rest of the time they can go diving, help marine biologists or come up with ideas for new activities for visitors. Tourism Queensland spokesman Jonathan Sloan said, "This is the best job in the world, there's no question about it." The job is being advertised in 18 countries and the successful candidate will be announced in May.
