Awesome jobs
If anyone has done a job or known someone who has done a job anywhere in the world that has been really good for women then can you share your knowledge. It has to be type of job that is possible for anyone to apply to so no formula one drivers and also has to come with a good lifestyle as well. While I have been traveling I have met a few guys that I thought fuck what a lucky bastard why the hell didn’t I apply to do that job. A few are mentioned below


Cabin Crew
Working as a male cabin crew for emirates, etihad or Qatar airways, has to be an airline where you take an interview in your home country but are based in another country.
These straight single male cabin crew guys that I met in the Middle East working for these companies really made me jealous as hell. Ok the actual work isn’t the best but the lifestyle and the women make this an awesome job to do for a couple of years.

Party Hostels
There are loads of party hostels around the world. I have a little list of ones in Europe if anyone wants it let me know. The last guy I met who worked for rotox party hostel in Budapest was very average looking and was sleeping with about 3-4 girls a week. These guys don’t make much money at all and probably dip into their saving but for one season this would be an awesome thing to do.

PR guys
So basically in the many, many party resorts around Europe like malia, Ibiza, Zante, Kavos etc these are the guys who work for the bars, there job is to talk to every person walking past and try to get customers into their bars. The one I spoke to yesterday said that his boss has told all the PR guys that while they are working if they find a girl who wants sex they can use one of the rooms in the bar then go back to work. Best I heard was one guy shagging 32 girls in a week last summer in Kavos so pretty insane. They don’t make much money but lifestyle and women wise they are living it up.

Holiday Reps
If anyone is from the states you need to let me know if this job is something that exists there. But basically a holiday rep is the person that meets guests at the airport when they arrive on holiday and who looks after them all week taking them on bar crawls and shit like that. You have to make sure you work for a youth brand company otherwise you will be stuck looking after families for the whole season.
I only have advice for guys in the UK or with a European passport, so below are the best companies to apply to,
2wenties
Club 18 30
Escapades
These guys are sleeping with about 50 – 90 women over a summer season absolutely mental and having an awesome time living in cool places around the med.

Bar Crawls
Obviously anything with women and alcohol is going to be good and bar crawls are another option that I have seen guys doing very well in. I did email about 30 bar crawls around Europe and I got a job working in Rome working for a bar crawl but I left after 1 week as during the day you have to promote and hand out flyers to everyone walking around to try to get them to your bar crawl at night and I didn’t really like the flyering bit but I know the guys who stayed for the summer were doing really well with women . And also there are other bar crawls where you just have to be the tour guide and not hand out flyers.


Tour Guide
I’m thinking about companies such as contiki and topdeck but there will be more out there where the guides I met have a fucking awesome lifestyle traveling from country to country, partying with hot chicks and drinking the night away.


Night life photographer
I did this for a bit in Sydney, it was quite a good job as you have to talk and photo every hot girl in the bar or club where you are working. I actually got paid quite well in Sydney and got free drinks all night so it was cool but nowhere near as good as the jobs above for women so it’s at the bottom of the list.



I would be interested to know if there are any cool jobs around the Caribbean or in the states or anywhere in the world that people know of with the same type of lifestyle, particularly if anyone has worked in the roles below

Barman
Club promoter
On a cruise ship
receptionist in a hostel

[Wayout]

Taxi cab driver in college town
Bouncer
I don't know...Gynecologist?

[RichieP]

I think Promoter/Events guy in an exotic city in Asia/ S. America/ Africa would be awesome.

In Bangkok for example there's a bunch of white guys who run various club events for a mixed international/thai crowd. They set up events and club crawls with the trendy clubs and obviously seem to be making a living out there. And it goes without saying that all the western and Thai girls are all over them on the nights out they've set up, because they're positioned as the leaders/ party-creating guys. And they get insta-networking with some of the cool and interesting expat crowd that their events attract.

It's obviously more possible in some places than others. But I think it would be so awesome to do that or something similar in somewhere like Jakarta or Saigon or Manila or something. It would be a crazy adventure in an exotic corner of the world for a few months.

To be honest, I think any location-independent job where you can pull $1500 a month without too much hassle or stress is fucking sweet. You can park up anywhere in the world with wi-fi and live a lifestyle from just getting by (usa/europe) to living quite well indeed and lavishly in developing countries.

Of course, it takes time to build up that kind of freelance lifestyle. It can be done though for sure.

[lurker]

I worked at a party hostel once. I got laid a bunch.

Tangent: does the hostel you're staying in have a hot tub? Go look at all the male employees there. Get in that hot tub if and only if you'd be comfortable lounging in a pool of those employees' half-chlorinated jizz.

[Mango444]

Arh I forget about a bouncer, shame Im not big enough to do that.

Also a club host I forgot about that one, but them guys do well, basically just have to take care of large groups of people in clubs, had a friend do it in london and he seemed to do quite well.

On a cruise ship

I've done both from what you listed above, and got a handful of friends who worked on cruise ships.
First, to be a rep/guide in Europe you need to get a license done. It means anything between 7-12 months of training, every weekend occupied. It ends with the exam, that at least in Poland would have a passing rate not exceeding 40%. The rest just lost their time and money, and could only retake the exam twice. I managed to pass with second approach btw.
Being a holiday rep/tourguide is not as fun as many think. Going cool places, socialize with tourists in the evenings, banging hot chicks almost every night... Thats what most young horny guys think its all about.
I worked in Turkey with young to mid age crowd (say 16-45), being a rep and in Alanya/Antalya region, as well as guiding tours around Turkey.
First, the job itself is simply exhausting. Once a week you get a transfer day, when I worked on the average 19-22 hours non-stop. The rest was routine, visiting several hotels guests were accomodated in, helping them solve issues like breakfast wasn't what I expected it to be/my room doesn't have a sea view, but the package seller said it will have/ where can I find the channel in polish language. Etc. There was no such thing as time off, the shifts were usually 10-12 hrs long. And going to the pool with tourists if you still had some energy left wasn't encouraged by the management, not to mention to be found leaving/entering the room in the night. Imagine some not-so-open-minded man/woman filled in the complaint about the rep. Game over.
The round trips were a pure nightmare. 3000 km covered in 6 days, all the cultural activities that were placed within a week.. Even tourists needed a "week off" on the beach, getting rest after that experience.
I didn't even feel like going for Shisha in the evenings, not to mention game any girls.
But I decided that I might have chosen a wrong company then, so gave it one more try.
Went with the company who was exclusively doing ski escapes to some of the best regions in France. Students only, sweet place - les 3 vallees, the quality of girls was more than good. And I received a skipass, which meant that during the day I could ski as much as I wanted.
I was expecting that to be a sweet escape, altough the money was next to none.
My only obligation was to guide the bus to the France, accomodate the group, make sure everyone gets a skipass, and take general care of them during the week.
The former was simply a nightmare.

Guess what was happening almost every day? Someone would break the leg on the slope, which meant that person needed an assistance to get to the hospital, to stay there, do some translations, dealing with insurance company, and hopefully come back before the next day.
All over and over again. And when there was a day when nobody broke nothing, you could still expect a call at 3 am (One of our folks was drunk after disco, and got into the fight with some local person, can you come and sort it out?)
And it would keep going.
In terms of working on the cruise. You are basically a slave there. Something like a limited working time exists for just a few. The rest is on duty 24 hours a day. And the lines sign contracts for at least 4 months.
Some of my fellow travellers were treating that as a way to save money, but I would never, never ever treat it in categories of playboys' lifestyle.

My point, maybe there are some dream jobs in life, but most of them look good just on paper.

[zarzuelazen]

These are not 'awesome' jobs. The tales of banging multiple hotties in a day sound like bullshit to me. Hospitality/travel work is the hardest/lowest-paid/most tedious there is. The guys doing these jobs are getting screwed all right, but not in the way they'd hoped.

[Seadog]

I was curious about something similar, but I've come to the conclusion that in work, just like every other facet of life there's not free lunch and you get what you pay for.

I've had many friends work the dive/ski instructor route. On paper it sounds like a great job. That's what attracts ppl to it and they're willing to work for scraps. They invariably find that when you're doing something as a job, it takes the fun out.

2 friends worked as Dive instructors in SE Asia here, they typically worked 12-14 hour days, maybe a day off every 2 weeks. It's all determined by client demand. You get paid basically on commission. Fun, but exhausting work. Average they were getting maybe $200-$250 a week, but cost of living is cheap. You can live well, go out with the clients at night, and save half your pay. Some guys were there for 20+ years mid 40s still grinding it out. If that's your dream fine, but I think getting to that stage of life and that's all you know might be tough, if you're not working towards technical commercial diving or something, and that's a hard game too, by that age your body might not even be up for it. Met a few tour guides in my travels. They could have a girl in different city. Especially if you're western touring around SE Asia. But exhausting work.

What would I recommend? Well basically what I'm doing which is get a well paying job in the STEM fields/trades. Have that to fall back on. I sort of subscribe to the idea that work isn't supposed to be fun, and if you're working, it wont be, so you might as well suck it up and get paid. Your life wont generally be great when working, but you'll have bankable skills/experience and make money fast.

I think any of those above jobs would be great, *as long as it was on my terms*. The thing most of those jobs have in common (aside from maybe flight attendant) is that they pay shit. Remove the caveat of needing money and you're golden.

[booshala]

Government work is pretty good, probably the best job that I've had after trying my hand at lots of things. Up till mid-upper management, the pay usually meets or surpasses the private sector, I get 6 weeks of paid vacation and 12 sick days along with every other Monday off. The medical benefits are good and it's nice to see a pension at the end, although with the economy the way it is right now, I can't be sure of that.

Finally, the thing I like best is that most of my coworkers are so inefficient that I essentially do the same amount of work they do in 8 hours in a quarter of the time. The rest of my day, I work on my side gigs that are getting close to matching the money I make at my 9-5.

Thinking about writing a small ebook on how to land and keep a government job.

[Que enspastic]

has anyone seen the 'around the world in 80 days' promo clip. wonder how many of those jobs are 'awesome'.

[Mango444]

thanks artur jedi for your reply

Que enspastic no i aint seen that promo clip but i will try and check it out.

So im right now 4 weeks into working as a holiday rep in kavos, corfu, greece. Job wasnt too hard to get and everything is cool. I have really strict targets on selling and one guy has quit already but women wise i would say 10 girls a month is very average and they are hot as well. Im working quite long hours but partying a lot and so far loving it.

One thing I do see though is all the PR guys who work for the bars and restaurants these guys are doing even better, less money but better hours and better for women.

So this is my first summer holiday destination type of job and yeah i do disagree with some comments on here and most of the guys are doing well for women and having a good lifestyle although they aint making much at all.

[OSL]

-

If I was graduating right now (undergraduate, so assuming I was 22 years old) I would skip the masters and either join a startup in Silicon Valley or join Rocket Internet abroad.

BERLIN

http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Care...j=oxaLWfw8

This is HQ. Berlin is a crazy spot and it would be great to have spent time in Europe outside of an academic environment.

After a year of hacking it in Europe I'd try to get transferred to one fo their SE Asian units (23/24 years old)

Bangkok

http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Care...j=ow5yXfwQ

Singapore

http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Care...j=oXyZWfwa

Or Manila, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Jakarta - etc

They have new positions opening up frequently.

I know quite a few people involved in Rocket and it seems like being able to get the immersion and experience of launching a venture backed tech company in emerging markets but with 100Ks or millions of euros of someone else's money.

Think of Amazon/Zappos/Groupon/Gilt/Airbnb clones. Ecommerce mostly.

Obviously this is a what if situation. If I could pull it off, I'd do a year in Berlin at HQ and then 2 years in SE Asia while simultaneously looking for my own opportunities.

I've actually gotten a couple of interview offers from these guys in the recent past. I'd be lying if I said I didn't seriously consider it - not because I need the dough but because the experience of running a SE Asian ecommerce venture at that scale with that much cash would be a really cool experience.

If you have 2-5 years of work experience with a McKinsey/Deloitte/Accenture/Barclays/Goldman/UBS and have been interested in the startup world, international opportunities, emerging markets - you should check these guys out.

A lot of them go onto top MBA programs too. A good friend of mine who was at their Vietnam office went to INSEAD last year.

I know I know. This isn't a cruise position or a muay thai fighter thing or anything glorious like that.

But if I was starting over at 22 and just graduating from undergrad I'd beeline it into an entry level position there.
