10 COOLEST DREAM JOBS IN THE WORLD

10. WATER SLIDE TESTER
This is not a job where people are asking you to test out a water slide and you fall of and die. Being a professional water slide tester essentially means water parks calling you up and asking you to test out a new ride, to see if you like it or not. This is definitely one of those jobs that really speak to the inner child within all of us. Because water slides, they never get old.

9. PRIVATE ISLAND CARETAKER
The growing trend among the extremely wealthy is, of course, buying your own island. But the thing is, not many of these extremely rich people stay in one spot for too long. So often they would employ a person who would stay on this private islands and this person's job will see to it that everything on the island from the home to the vegetation are well taken care of. Now aside from a fat pay check, the best payoff is you get to spend all your days on an exotic island that people can only dream of.

8. CHOCOLATE TASTER
One of the best things mankind has ever created in history, I think a lot of you would agree, is chocolate candy bar. These indulgent treats have become an obsession the world over because of its flavour and just how good it makes us all feel. Now you would think that chocolate factories run the same way as Willy Wonka's but thats not really the case. Sadly we won't be seeing any chocolate waterfalls and or edible landscapes anytime soon; but what we do have is the opportunity to be employed by chocolate and candy companies as their official chocolate tester. For example in Britain, the Cadbury company was firtst to introduce the concept of "Chief Chocolate Tester" to the world. A practice that has since been emulated by other companies to make sure that their chocolates are at a gold standard when it comes to taste.

7. PROFESSIONAL SLEEPER
Staying in bed all day especially on Mondays is something that we all wish we could do and get paid for. Thankfully, when a hotel in Finland advertised for a "professional sleeper" to spend 35 days in their chain to simply test out all the beds the role became a lucrative means of earning a living. A kind of living where all you have to do is to lay in bed and not worry about a single thing and money just pour into your bank account. This occupation has since been proven to be of use to many companies and agencies. One such agency is NASA when they advertised for a similar position that will ask individuals to stay in bed for 70 days. Maybe a little too much sleep. But for all your trouble you are getting over $14,400. That's like couple hundreds dollars per nap.

6. PROFESSIONAL CUDDLER
Now we love Japan for its quirks. In fact, the country has such a mastery of the art of quirkiness that people have built businesses and made a living out of any kind of eccentric idea. So a few years ago, Japan opened up its first "Cuddle Cafe" where people can spend their day in an extremely cozy and comfortable environment next to a stranger who will cuddle up next to you for about an hour. Even more surprising is that being a professional cuddler does not have to be full time. Cuddlers have been known to take freelance positions in the cafe and still have a full time job on the side. They can make up to $100,000 a year! But the thing is, there's nothing kinky going on here. The occupation only requires that you cuddle with a client and nothing more.

5. VIDEO GAME TESTER
Blizzard is one of the largest video game companies in the world and has published several successful titles like Warcraft, Spacecraft etc. But you'll be to find that they have a specific job opening for people who are interested in being a video game tester for any of their titles especially World of Warcraft. The position only requires playing the game and give their opinions and ratings based on categories set by the company. And the thing is, this is great for people not living in the US because the company is constantly looking for foreign language testers to engage their titles and how a specific country or market would react to it. The best thing of all is that you get first dibs in playing a game that is yet to be released.

4. PROFESSIONAL NETFLIX WATCHER
Believe it or not, there is actually a group of people that gets paid to sit and watch Netflix all day. They are called Netflix taggers and their main job is to sit through all of Netflix's content and categorize them based on different facets that a computer cannot quantify. They are basically the people responsible for those suggestions that pop up on your Netflix whenever you are looking for something to watch. Anyways, for this job you don't even have to leave the comfort of you own home, the only hurdle to this job is not to fall asleep in the middle of a boring show or one of their millions of B movies.

3. PROFESSIONAL TRAVELLER
Who doesn't want to travel without the constraints of a budget? As the world of the internet continues to grow, so too do the opportunities. Travel blogs, online travel magazines and websites, are continuously looking for people who are willing to travel and be their official correspondent creating content and sharing experiences to people who also have the spirit of wanderlust within them. On top of travelling anywhere for free, your accommodations and other travel expenses are also taken care of as well as being provided with a health insurance. All you need is a passport and the unquenchable thirst to see the world.

2. ICE CREAM FLAVOR GURU
It is everyone's childhood dream to create the ultimate ice cream flavor and work in a place where you can spend an entire day testing each flavor of ice cream that comes out before anyone else does of course using a spoon. Several ice cream companies such as Ben and Jerry's have job positions that simply entail people to eat ice cream and allow them free rein to create new flavors. From blending different sweets to mixing an indulgent concoctions of syrup goodness, this job only requires you to have a massive sweet tooth and sunny disposition.

1. DISNEY IMAGINEER
To work for the "Happiest Place on Earth" is something that you thought only existed in dreams but Disney, since opening its first theme park decades ago, have made working for their company one for the most enjoyable and rewarding pursuits you will ever have in life. As a Disney Imagineer, your job is to "dream up" your wildest ideas and make sure that they are brought into reality at a Disney theme park anywhere in the world.

As a "dreamer and doer", the only limit you have is how far you would let your creativity take you.
