最“寒”的工作:南極電工
Tony McLaughlan would argue that his role as an electrician inAntarctica for the British Antarctic Survey is the best. The -50Ctemperatures and the fact that Mr McLaughlan is 9,000 miles fromhome in an almost uninhabitable wilderness mean that demand for anelectrician will be low. However, the £23,000 salary, free food andpaid rent meant that thousands of people jammed phone lines whenthe job was first advertised on the BBC。
TonyMcLaughlan也許不太同意他在南極為英國南極科考隊(duì)做的工作是最好的。畢竟在這種零下50度的低溫,離家9000公里遠(yuǎn),不太適合人類生存的地方當(dāng)個(gè)電工意味著你有錢賺都沒地方花。不過2.3萬英鎊的薪水包食宿的待遇還是在這份工作剛在BBC登廣告招聘的時(shí)候就讓英國人擠破了頭。

對(duì)于那些更喜歡暖和天氣的人來說,做一個(gè)水上滑梯測試員就很有吸引力了。TommyLynch的工作就是測試各地水上樂園的滑梯質(zhì)量。
他已經(jīng)玩過了塞浦路斯、阿爾加夫、埃及等等國家,他說“我的工作的確是世界上最好的,但是我告訴別人我是做什么的時(shí)候沒人相信我。”
最適合懶人的工作:酒店床鋪測試員

最養(yǎng)眼的工作:人體彩繪師
perhaps the job that really takes the biscuit when it comes to "jobsatisfaction" belongs to Betto Almedia, during the Rio de Janeirocarnival. The Brazilian goes to work at 11am each day and spendshis time painting the bodies of some of the carnival's mostbeautiful women。
It takes about two hours to paint each living artwork, and mostdays he will have two blank canvases to turn into masterpieces, forwhich he charges £660 a day. "You wouldn't believe how manyapplications I get for an assistant," Mr Almedia said. "But it'shard work, man, I take my job seriously."
說起最讓人滿意的工作,恐怕非貝托·阿米尼亞的工作莫屬了。貝托在巴黎狂歡節(jié)前,每天11點(diǎn)開始工作,他的任務(wù)就是在最美的女人身上畫畫。
