Already think you have the coolest job in the world? Well this list might make you think again. I’ve put together the ultimate list of jobs we all wish we had.
If you had one of these jobs I bet that you would wake up on time, wouldn’t need endless supplies of coffee and you wouldn’t even complain about any additional hours. Although these jobs are pretty awesome the salary probably wouldn’t be the best unfortunately, but maybe it’s worth the pay cut.
Check out the list and let us know which one you’d pick in the comments below:
1. Island caretaker
Looking after an island like the one above would be at the top of my list. In exchange for looking after the island and it’s facilities, you get a rent-free accommodation and an income. This is the ultimate stress-free lifestyle.
2. Sweets taste tester
For every sweet-tooth out there this job is for you. Giving feedback on candy flavours and sweetness would be your daily routine. We just hope that the job comes with good dental cover.
3. Movie critic
Being paid to watch movies and give your thoughts sounds like a pretty easy life. But if you’re one of those types of people that falls asleep in movies, then perhaps this isn’t for you.
4. Water slide tester
Testing our water slides sounds pretty cool, but hopefully it’s a seasonal job, I can’t imagine this would be very fun in winter.
5. Travel blogger
The job that will fix anyone who has the travel ‘bug’. There might be the downsides of personal safety and constant jet-lag, but reviewing amazing places many others wouldn’t ever get to ever see sounds worth it.
6. Bed tester
Don’t like getting out of bed on a Monday morning? How about being paid to stay in bed instead? Sounds like a dream.
7. Sky diving trainer
For the adrenaline junkies this job would satisfy your cravings and let you meets a lot of interesting people as well.
8. Trivia writer
Wikipedia would be your best friend as you compile lists of questions and answers for websites and game companies.
9. Video game tester
Getting access to some of the most sought after video games so that you can test them would be pretty cool and you wouldn’t be nagged by your partner, family or friends to stop playing video games.
10. Being an Airtasker
People get to complete a whole range of tasks which they might not otherwise have the opportunity to get experience in. With thousands of tasks on Airtasker, there are no limits as to what you can do.
Caretaker of the Island would have to be the best option for me! I mean they are all great, but for me the island is a winner by far!
i would like the movie critic, travel blogger and bed tester.
I would love the job as a taste tester because I love food 😉 also a movie critic as I love watching movies . Dream job right there !!
Hi Kate, my names tom and I was wondering just how to go about getting into any of these jobs, I would love to know so I can venture from the daily drag and into something fun and exciting like these dream jobs.
Hope to hear from you soon 🙂
Tom
I would be interested in the island caretaker and the travel blogger roles
I AM A MOVIE BUFF WATCH MOVIES AS MUCH AS I CAN LOVE IT.
I LIVED ON AN ISLAND LOVED IT WISH I WAS STILL THERE SOMETIMES LOVE OUR ISLAND AUSTRALIA
would like to try.
All sounds wonderful but at this stage I would just love to have a job so can you help please
I read about movies, screen play writing, often see two movies at a time in cinemas and have a few thousand movies on a media centre to fill in the other spare times when not doing research, reading and writing my PhD thesis. My writing is largey critical analysis and review after completing an MA (Social Policy) thesis, a Research Fellowship and dozens of reports as a consultant specialising in social, leisure planning, marketing and business development. I therefore believe the Movie Critic role would be very much in line with my interests and abilities. Call me please. Thank You. Brent McKenna M: 0458340431
Would love to travel and see the world. But with a little boy I find it hard at the best of times. However I would like to see were the best spots are to go with a family.
I would choose job number 8, a trivia writer. As a fan of trivia games, a retired high school teacher used to phrasing questions, and an author who loves writing, I would suit that job perfectly. And it would suit me as I could do the job at home in my own time, learning lots of trivia along the way.
What a fabulous list! I am definitely at a career crossroads right now and I am open to new and exciting possibilities. I thought the Movie Critic, Island Caretaker, and Bed Tester would definitely be right up my alley! Perhaps because I’m still on holidays… 😀 Amazing that these opportunities are out there!
Would love to be a Island caretaker
I have experience writing and hosting trivia nights, have a wide general knowledge and really enjoy researching and writing trivia questions. This really is my ideal job and would love to hear more about this position. Thank you.
I would definitely have to take the Video Game Testing job, practical and awesome :).

I’m interested for the position of Island Caretaker
I would suit the position of Travel Blogger, have put down my opinions on one major website of some of the hotels, attractions and sights that myself and family have visited over the past eight years. I give an honest non bias opinion, in the hope that it may help someone to decide if it is right for them. You do not know if this is a chance in a lifetime dream that they are spending hard earn cash on, or a family gathering. People need to be made aware of good and bad, so that they can make a suitable booking.
movie critic sounds good to me.
I would really love to be an island caretaker, travel blogger, bed tester and a video game tester all at the same time! =D

We are fun people who love fundraising and dancing and would truly welcome an opportunity such as this.

Would love more information about sweets taste tester, and also game tester, love my sweets, and also having an xbox 360, and playstation 3, psp and pc, am forever playing games and commenting to the games shop about how i felt the game could be better or how enjoyable it was, and trying the latest games\updates\versions is what i love to do such as with assassin’s creed games on the 360, own every edition to date, can’t wait for the next!!. Also when I’m not munching confectionary and playing games, i’m usually sitting down going through my dvd collection watching them countless times, so to be given the chance to see the latest flicks and be able to comment about them would be cool.

Hello
I’m interested in being a movie critic,sweets taste tester & trivia writer
Thank U
So i would have to say Island caretaker would be a Dream job .Having worked in alot of differant jobs and yrs off shift work, found that its not what youve got,but wether you enjoy,job satisfaction is the key to it lol,
Awesome choices! But I’d narrow it down to the Candy Tester hands down, Travel Blogger second, Movie Critic third and last but not least a Bed Tester.
My dream job is to open up a Candy Shop. After working in Darrell Lea’s Chocolate Shop many moons ago the feeling has never left me, and we had to taste the products there too, it was heaven!
I’m always raving on to people about my amazing holiday adventures and often think I should be sharing it globally. I know I like reading reviews on all aspects of travel, it all helps. I just love reliving my travel experiences and creating new ones.
I LOVE MOVIES and never have enough time to watch as many as I’d like so being a movie critic would be GREAT!
I think I’d be a good bed tester too, got it have it just right, you don’t want to wake up feeling like you’re older than you are!
Please help me find one of these best jobs ever!
Travel blogger would be amazing
Movie critic
Bed tester
Island caretaker
these would be my top four dreams jobs.
I would choose
1- movie critic
2- sweets taste taster
hahaha you have EVERYONE thinking they’re going to get one of these jobs that you have listed, they’re not jobs available here peeps, they’re jobs that Airtasker are saying are the all time best top 10!!!!
I would do all of them, YOLO!!
I would say, as a travel blogger. I could handle going all over the world.
WOWSA An Island would be perfect just bliss, I had to give in my wonderful job as an divisional therapist in an Adelaide hospital for the mentally ill as I became very ill with terminal cancer, a lady who was doing my job loved it as much as me, so two years on and not over my illness the best thing was to leave before we lost her, she still loves the job. I also think the travel bloger would be fun. I have been at a loss of what to do with my future. Oh to dream..
Dream job managing a 6 bedroom B & B in Vanuatu owned by a friend (with a 2 year contract in Hospitality on a nearby Island Resort) then hmmm part-time Cinema Critic / Bed Tester & ……..
Now
Hmmmm Working for myself using AirTasker is a pretty, sweet job in itself actually.
After 3 months of doing anything I can get my hands on cleaning, pickup/delivery, labouring, restoring outdoor furniture, dog walking, driver and much more cleaning – I can’t live alone on the income (yet) it but I feel so rejuvenated, fitter, satisfied; actually help nice, genuine, fair people, get paid for it; appreciated for a quality job & at times repeat work.
Single, sick and no where to go but up, I have started a new life, packing up my home of 11yrs to rent out to return to my passion – Travel.
Next
Loose casual plans to travel parts of Europe July to Mid August (UK, France, Austria until a 2 week Cruise (paid) from Venice in mid August finishing in Barcelona; next is a drive/bus, rail adventure from Barcelona West to the Algarve, Portugal & North to Porto & beyond. Then back to South East Asia for some wallet & soul salving giving back – volunteering with orphanages (children, Orangutans & Elephants) in Cambodia, Vietnam, Borneo, Laos &/or Thailand until mid October & the booked 2 week tour with 5 others in Myannmar/Burma in October, returning………well who knows really.
As an executive assistant and marketing manager, with a background in travel and tourism and graphic design I am the perfect candidate for role of Island Caretaker, Tourism Blogger or AirTasker. My achievements include receiving finalist award for Sth Australian Secretary of the Year (1991) which opened the doors towards a great career, allowing me to work from the south to the top end of Australia, climbing the corporate ladder and pursuing studies. I’ve enjoyed sharing my experiences with people in remote indigenous communities, volunteered for various charities whilst between jobs (helping the local community out where required). Positions held are many and varied, ie. private hospitals and medical centres, legal firms, travel consultantant, the SA and NT Governments including the Northern Territory National Park and Wildlife Service and self employed. I was secretary of the Counter Disaster Committee for helping take responsibility of the community if the town was flooding and the people needed to evacuate. I would be pleased to accept any of these positions however the three positions above are my preference if I was ever satisfactory in receiving a position thru your site. Please do not hesitate in contacting me should you believe my profile fits the criteria you are looking for. Kind Regards, Tara
Hi Everyone
How do i get a job as a video game tester?
Thanks
Matthew Wilson
Working from home writing trivia and quiz questions sounds good, but how does one become an Airtasker??
Hello Kate, I’ve been an Airtasker since February 2014 and have completed 140 tasks as Jim H and 23 as James H (name change due to password issues).
I moved to the Central Coast earlier this year. Very little AT work up this way unfortunately although I am sure people up here have the same needs as people in capital cities.
I saw that you posted tasks recently for 4 people to hand out flyers in Bondi — any chance of a similar promotion up this way — handouts at Erina Fair or Tuggerah Complex would I am sure result in AT growth in the Central Coast area.
Regards to all at AT.
Cheers, Jim H
