TGIF, right? Well if you had one of these jobs, you would not care what day of the week it was…
1 Brothel inspector:
A firm of private investigators in Australia this week advertised for a £50 000-a-year “brothel inspector”. According to a report on the orange news website , the job involves “partaking of sexual services” undercover on behalf of local councils in New South Wales. Applicants were required to be unmarried and preferably single, willing to have protected sex with prostitutes and to provide sworn evidence in court. “The perfect job for a male,” the manager observed.
2 Caretaker of tropical island:
In 2009, Australia's Tourism Queensland advertised the “best job in the world” - the post of caretaker on Hamilton island in the Great Barrier Reef. Briton Ben Southall managed to score the $120 000, six-month job beating out nearly 35 000 applicants for the position, including 15 other finalists who had to snorkel, indulge in spa treatments and eat barbecue on the beach as part of the interview process. Oh, the actual work part of the job was that he had to blog about his experience.
3 Chocolate taster:

Sally McKinnon describes her job as a chocolate taster and product development manager for the grocery chain Tesco as “the best job in the world”. “I get paid to taste chocolate every day,” she told UK newspaper The Independent. “My desk is absolutely covered with chocolate - it's fantastic.” The downside to the job? “The calories,” McKinnon said. “You have to make a conscious effort to eat healthily for the rest of the time.”
4 Facebook employee:
We know you’re sitting on Facebook on company time anyway so why not work at the company and become a millionaire to boot. As the social networking site moves to a billion-dollar listing on the stock exchange, according to reports, at least 1 000 employees are on their way to becoming millionaires.
5 Water slide tester:
It’s a job almost every child in the world would want - not to mention many adults. Shelly Rucinski’s job? Director of operations at Noah’s Ark Waterpark in Wisconsin aka chief water-slide tester. “I knew that I didn't want to sit behind a desk and this was a great opportunity for me not to have to do that,” MSNBC quoted Rucinski as saying. “You get to swim and do a lot of things that I wouldn't get to do if I worked in another job. I mean there's downfalls, we work a lot of hours in the summertime. But I get to be outside… not a bad view.” - IOL

Two words....Jeremy Clarkson! Also on one of his shows he had a captain of a private yacht whose only job it to sail an enormous yacht from the maldives to the Carribean twice a year to stay in summertime for the owners, the rest of the year he is paid and given accomodation and food and lives on the islands. Thats the life.
