Fabulous jobs

Travel and food writer (like the Sterns, who appear weekly on The Splendid Table and whose main vocation seems to be traveling around the US and eating)

French maid to royalty (see maid in Braveheart -- skill sets seem to include hair styling, wardrobe-arranging and gossiping, French language skills a plus)

The person who scouts locations for television shows and films

The guy I saw on the History Channel who researches dragon myths and their relationship to dinosaur fossils

Tour guide for Americans in other, more interesting countries

Diplomat to some country we're not at war with, considering war with, or recovering from war with . . . act quickly, these jobs are rapidly drying up

Professional shopper (ha! I'm already doing this job for free!)

Out-duction Project Officer (I think this means that your job is canceling things; seems like you could phone that in)

Docent of any decent museum, although this requires the existence of another less fun job that pays well
