Coolest job

[Rusty Shackleford]

I think we had this debate once, but I couldn't find it.

Anyway, what is the coolest job a person could have? I had this debate last night and said astronaut, followed by sniper, followed by fighter pilot. My friend said rock star. What say SJ?

One of my best friends (who died four years ago) was No. 2. Gets old in a hurry since you're as much of a babysitter as anything. And as somebody who went in to see him at work often, you start not noticing most of the boobs and butts after a while. Not ALL but most.

Test Pilot for Boeing. I don't generally get the inflated self worth of pilots but I would not have begrudged the Boeing test pilot I met having a big attitude.

Super cool job.

First time I went to a strip club, it was a surprise. I was part of a bachelor party that just ended up there unplanned. As such, I only had about $50 cash on me and didn't want to get any lap dances or do anything I couldn't pay for. Interesting experience. It really gave me a chance to be a fly on the wall.
Among the things I noticed, is that after about an hour it doesn't even seem weird that women are walking around topless. You don't even realize it anymore. It's a weird transition.
I also noticed that, after the initial "Oooh! Boobies!" reaction wore off, most of the women looked better with their clothes ON. And this was at a decent club in a big city. Can't imagine what some of the strippers in the hinterlands look like.

You know who has a cool job? That guy who works for that shoe company who travels the world and gives free shoes to needy kids. It was featured on an Amex commercial or something.
I'd also like Sam Calagione's job as owner of Dogfish Head Brewery and host of last year's Brew Masters on Discovery, traveling the world drinking and making beer.
I also want to be that person that tells athletes when to run out on the field when their name is announced at all-star games, post-season games etc. And maybe in the off-season, be responsible for taking the annual World Champion Philadelphia Eagles/Buffalo Bills/Atlanta Braves gear to Southern Sudan.

No matter how cool it is, it's still a job. It'll still feel like a job.

Being the head pro at Augusta National or any other private golf course that's open half the year with a tiny membership.

 

[DanOregon]

Oh - I'm sure that guy has stories, with that membership list. Hell - that would be a best seller. Half the membership would be insulted if they were included, the other half insulted if they weren't.

Hell - I'm sure people think being a sportswriter is the coolest job. And it is. Until you go back to the office and open up your paycheck.

 

[shockey]

i say and mean this with all sincerity and humility but i'm old enough to have been a sportswriter when it was still considered a 'cool' job. my friends and relatives sure thought it was 'cool.' and so did i. 8)

it sure as hell beat working for a living. not so much anymore, though i bet there are still plenty in the biz and out who still think it's pretty cool.

It's the guy on XM/Sirius radio who announces the starting time and channels for that night's game.
"At 5:10 p.m., the Pirates play the Rockies on XM 178."
Sweet!
