Quixote.Today: 121 Jobs That Don't Suck

Believe it or not, I was once responsible for picking out the underwear for Britney Spears. Wow, I can not tell you how much I hated that job! Only three months into the job, she ended up firing me. She believed she did not have the need for underwear. I remember her saying in my exit interview “Ya’all I don’t need underwear”. I strongly believe she, and the world, regrets firing me. After that horrible work experience I vowed to never have a job that sucked again. So, I spent 121 days locked in my closet thinking about what would be the world's greatest job. Each day I came to a new conclusion. Lucky for you, during my 121 day focus session I took very detailed notes by candle light. So here it is folks, 121 jobs that do not suck...
