Unemployed? Here’s the Best Job in the World

Unemployed? Well, today is your lucky day. This is easily the best job in the world.

It’s also a pretty good publicity stunt. Australia’s Tourism Queensland is looking for a caretaker to live on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef. Job duties include fish feeding, snorkeling and blogging about your experience.

Ah, but what does it pay? How about a cool AU$150,000 for six months (about $100,000)? Plus “return airfares from your nearest capital city (in your home country), accommodation and transport on Hamilton Island, travel insurance for the contract period, computer, internet, digital video and stills cameras access, plus travel to a number of the other Islands of the Great Barrier Reef.”

You can apply here. Applications are due by February 22.
