Best Job In The World?

Check out this link -> http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Lifestyle/Story/STIStory_341974.html

It's about the 'best job in the world', which consists of the employee to become the 'caretaker' of a tropical island off the Great Barrier reef. It apparently had been named the 'best job in the world' due to its high pay and low workload. It pays about A150,000 (SGD150,000) over a period of six months, and it also pays for the travel expenses of the employee to white beachers and clear water. A perfect job for someone who does not like to work.

Ah, the key phrase. "Does not like to work". This job might seem attractive, but what is the point? During your period in this job, you learn NOTHING AT ALL. No job experience, et cetra. You just loll about. This wil, perhaps, backfire on you, causing you to lose your basic life skills, and when you return to the society, you find yourself unable to adapt, and thus become stressed out.

And also, in this news report I am able to find some f the factores wherein why the Straits Times used this as a news report:

-Exeptional Quality. It is not everyday you see a job popping out when all you have to do is enjoy life!
-Human Interest. it is human nature to wish for a relaxed life - And this job perfectly fits their dream.
-Prominence. Even Dean Martin's son, Ricci and a Barack Obama impersonator applied for this job!
