Heard about the competition to apply for the best job in the world? It's hard enough finding ANY job right now let alone one that requires you to stroll the sands of an island paradise (Queensland, Australia) all day! Ben Southall, a 34 year old Brit, beat 34,000 other applicants to win what is dubbed as 'the best job in the world' and starts in July, siiiigh....

The Duties and The Perks:

-Feed the fish
-Clean the pool
-Send weekly blog and video reports on what is happening on the island
-Make friends with the locals
-Free return airfares from their nearest capital city
-Transportation on the island
