OT: Best job
The self medicating thread about strippers having a dehumanizing job made me start to think about jobs, and then I saw some golfers on TV, and it got me thinking... Being a professional golfer has got to be one of the best jobs you can have:
Off the job you have to stay relatively fit and healthy, but you don't have to train to the extremes that football players do, on the job you walk around for exercise and you are in the sun getting plenty of Vit D, you're outside and not cooped up in an office all day, not to mention you're playing a pretty leisurely game... and you're making good money. There may be jobs that people individually prefer due to their own personalities and idiosyncrasies, but in general I think golfing looks pretty great. Tons of money for going outside and hitting a ball more accurately than most.
Can you think of a better job?

Do a shitty job for 2 years, golden parachute, set for life
I have noticed that no better replacement job has been yet mentioned. lol
Getting to that position is kind of a bitch, but once you get it you're made.
But, a professional golfer , e.g. Tiger Woods? Does he have to work as hard as the NFL player? No. Does he even have to work as hard as the distance runner? No fucking way. He doesn't need huge muscles, he doesn't need an exceptional cardiovascular system, all he needs to do is be really good at hitting a standardized ball accurately over long distances with standardized clubs. He has to travel a lot... so do half of the people on TUSCL!
I'm not advocating that anybody take up golfing with aspirations of becoming a millionaire. All I'm saying is, Tiger Woods is one lucky mofo.
Another guy I went to HS with was a pro hockey player. He made the NHL (wasn't drafted) and actually ended up the #5 defenseman on the team that lost the finals one year.
Dude made serious bank even at that middling level and is locally famous where we grew up.

It seems effortless for those guys - but that's because they are very good at it.
I have no idea who currently holds the job, but there's no pressure. If they were attacked by an act of war he knows the U.S. military would bail their ass out.
