Here's part 3 of a very fun article from CareerBuilder.com on the top ten most fun jobs available:
Job: Film or Restaurant Reviewer
It's fun because: You have the opportunity to watch movies before they even come out in the theater or eat gourmet meals for free and make a little money in the meantime.
The not-so-fun side: Chances are you'll have to sit through a lot of ridiculous films or eat a lot of unpleasant food...and then spend another few hours reliving the experiences as you write about them.
The payoff: Most critics work on a freelance or part-time basis and some publications pay more than others. According to Salary.com, current freelance rates are often less than $1 a word. Critics may have to work additional jobs to supplement their incomes.
Ok, I'm giving this one mixed reviews.
Here's the good part: I love to watch movies, I love to eat, and I love to do both of them even more when it's FREE!!! What's not to love here?
Well, there is a lot to not love. Like part-time work, holding another job, etc. In short, if you have this job, you need all the free meals and movie passes you can get because you sure won't be able to afford them on your own!
Given the pros and cons here, I'd have to take a pass on this one.
