郑玉峰

有一些工作并不广为人知，但仅仅从它们的名字，我们就可以判断它们是非常酷的工作。

Fancy being paid to live on a private island？ Or for sleeping？ This is not a dream！ There are actually such cool jobs in the world！ Sad to say， they are in very short supply. But one can always dream， right？ Here are 6 coolest jobs in the world！

Professional sleeper

You can work as a bed tester and spend the day sleeping on the job under different room conditions， followed by writing reviews about the bed or suggesting improvements. Another option is to participate in experiments where you will be “forced” to sleep for certain number of hours or even days！ The doctors would then monitor your physical and mental states for changes. Besides the obvious bene?fit of sleeping your days away， you are also actually helping to improve products.

Movie critic

You will be watching movies in cinemas and writing reviews about them. Also， you would be required to categorize them according to themes， tag the character to their traits and flag any shows for caution and debate. Definitely， it is a dream job if youre crazy about movies.

Water slide tester

Do you love thrills？ If so， this job is for you！ The responsibili?ties include testing slides and reviewing factors like how excited you feel. You would often be required to travel to different countries as well.

Seat filler

All you have to do for this job is fill up empty seats during award shows such as at the Academy Awards for aesthetic（审美的） purposes. Sounds good？ Sadly， there are lots of non?disclosure（非公开的） agreements you have to sign， meaning that you probably wont be able to talk to the actor or actress that sits beside you.

Live?stream eater

Popular in the Republic of Korea， live?stream eaters would often consume large quantities of food for hours， eating as loudly as they can， which suggests that the food they eat is tasty. They would also be required to engage with the online audience.

Private island caretaker

If you love the sun， sand and the sea， this job is for you！ Caretakers will write blog articles and photo journals about their experience. Some jobs may also require you to do some basic housekeeping or maintenance work.

Apart from the cool jobs mentioned in the text， can you think of any other jobs that seem cool？
