You probably wouldn't get paid very much :) Or it would be very stressful and demanding (but still satisfying). There are tradeoffs with all jobs, I think (even the glamorous-sounding ones).
A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the counter and says, "Hi... You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job."
The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur/bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You'll have a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The starting salary is $200,000 a year".
The guy says, "You're bullshittin' me!"
The social worker says, "Yeah, well, you started it."
Well, it's possible to have a job you love and make decent money... but that usually requires a heavy prior investment of time, money, or both, so it's not easy to find.
I have a job that I love.lady_heatherlynJune 7 2004, 20:53:58 UTC
I just started this job and I absolutely love it. I work hours that I normally stay up to, but it's very rewarding. I make people happy, they make me happy. In fact, I spend most of my day next to a crystal clear swimming pool talking with friends and watching the water lap over the sides. I get to inhale the strong chlorine until it doesn't seem to be there anymore, then when the day's over and I'm sick of being hot, or even in the middle of the day when I'm hot, I just go into the next room, put on a swimsuit, dive in, jump out, shower, change, and go back to work. The worst part of my job is throwing towels into a washer and then thirty minutes later into a dryer. There are times when there is nothing to do at my job and I'm expected to do my homework and get paid for it.
Ready for the tradeoff?
I make $6.50 an hour.
Sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for.

6.50.... ouch. But then again, you really don't need much to survive if you're smart with your money and have cheap rent. So definitely worth the trade if you ask me.
