Seriously?

Australia is offering up what they say to be "the best job in the world". Basically you get paid $105,000 (plus airfare to get you to Australia) to live on Hamilton Island, a tropical island in Australia for six months! And get this - these are the job responsibilities -

  • stroll the white sand beaches....CHECK
  • snorkel the reef....CHECK
  • weekly blogs, photo diaries, and video updates....CHECK

Where do I sign up? You get to live rent free in a 3 BR house, with a pool and golf cart, have to be a good swimmer, excellent communicator, and be able to speak English. Seriously??? It's an effort to increase tourism by doing something out of the box to attract attention to the island. And it's for real!

Applications are due Feb. 22nd - I'm thinking I should apply......
