10 Guys with Really Cool Jobs
April 13, 2008 by tsims
It’s always funny to hear people say they love their job because most of the time it’s just not true. They may be ok with their job and not hate it, but most people who like their jobs don’t really LOVE them. What would it be like to REALLY love your job? Here’s a quick list of 10 guys with very cool jobs they probably love:
Mike Rowe – As host of Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel, “Rowe is constantly putting his hands into places that are often curious, sometimes dangerous and always dirty. From roadkill-removal specialists, to bat biologists, to professionals who determine the sex of chickens, Dirty Jobs offers an illuminating look at what lies beyond the world of 9 to 5.” The best part about it for Mike is that he gets to move on to the next job after the assignment is over.
Bear Grylls - Not that this is a Discovery Channel tribute, but our second pick also hosts his own show. Man vs. Wild features Bear Grylls, a former special forces officer in the Territorial Army. Grylls gets dropped off in some of the most inhospitable places on earth to show viewers how to survive in the wild. Some of his stunts include climbing sheer cliff, wading rapids, and even wrapping his urine-soaked t-shirt around his head to help stave off the desert heat.
Pierre-Henri Raphanel – Bugatti test driver. As Bugatti’s official test driver, Raphanel gets to drive some of the world’s best cars. Particularly, he can usually be seen demonstrating the awesomeness that is the Veyron. Oh, did we mention it has 1001 horsepower?
Raphael Mazzucco – Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue photographer… nuff said
Howie Mandel - If you can’t take artistic pictures of beautiful women like Mazzucco, a close second would be to host a show with 26 of them. Mandel landed a sweet gig with NBC as the host of Deal or No Deal… and as host jobs go it’s a pretty easy one because the game is pretty straight forward. All Howie has to do is come up with witty quips to pass the time, which is pretty easy for him from his comedian days.
John Harrison – “Harrison (also) has a “sweet” job. As the Official Taster for Edy’s Grand Ice Cream, he gets paid to eat ice cream every day! John’s talented taste buds are so important to Edy’s that they are insured for a very cool one million dollars.”
Kevin Ham – Kevin is one of the most successful domain name owners around. He owns some 320,000 different domains that earn him upwards of $70 million a year without a whole lot of effort.
Jay Johnson – The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders work hard to look as good as they do! They follow the same training program as the U.S. Army lead by fitness trainer Jay Johnson. But, unlike training a bunch of Army recruits, Johnson gets to whip some of most beautiful women around into shape.
Steve Jobs – With a last name like “Jobs” you have to have a good one. Aside from counting his billions, the CEO and co-founder of Apple gets to sit in the driver’s seat of one of the most innovative companies in the world. However, you would think you could buy more than one black shirt with a couple billion dollars… time to expand the wardrobe Steve!
Mark Cuban – Cuban went from bartender to billionae in a relatively short period of time after he founded and later sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.9 billion. These days he bides his time keeping up with his NBA team, the Dallas Mavericks, and serving as chairman of HDnet.
Although he did not quite make the list, we think this guy also has a pretty cool job.
