My vote goes to @leolaporte. He gets to do all day what I can only do on the weekends... netcast. He also gets the cool product reviews that I can't quite manage yet.
- John Fox
Gary: no way. Jim Long's job is FAR cooler. He gets to go on Air Force One
- Robert Scoble
Mike: I gotta hear more about this happiness. It sounds like an Amsterdam tour guide.
- Robert Scoble
It's better than Amsterdam because it all occurs locally. No travel!
- Mike White
Robert, I think YOUR job is pretty cool :-)
- Pablo Melchor
John: sorry. Leo wasn't drinking Sake with @garyvee today. Unless he has supermodels sitting on his lap his job his isn't that cool. ;-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert Scoble has to be one of them. In geek heaven most of the time... :)
- Amit Nangare
Pablo: Agreed. Anyone who gets to deal with tech and social media all day is cool in my book.
- John Fox
Mike, you might have fun selling it, I'm a librarian who thinks it is even more fun to give it away.
- Carolyn Wood
Robert: Well, when you put it like that... ;-)
- John Fox
Carolyn - I give it away as much as possible, but I have to pay the bills!
- Mike White
Pablo: I can't argue. Hanging out with @garyvee rocks!
- Robert Scoble
Mike, if you are feeling guilty you are always welcome to volunteer @ your library!
- Carolyn Wood
yes being a photo/videographer with great access to important events would be really cool, I had little tastes of it while freelancing for nyt, ap, national geo. but most importantly, you get to play with all the latest digi-toys :-)
- Brian Hendrickson
Carolyn - No guilt. I volunteer every week.
- Mike White
I am sitting next to the CEO of Intermec Pat Burn in UA 95.
- Robert Scoble
As I once told @karaswisher, anyone living in the Valley or on the West Coast is spoiled with being in tech's back yard. Nothing interesting ever happens here in Indy, except for BlogIndiana.
- John Fox
Sorry, take my job and multiply it by 100x and you have @newmediajim's job.
- Robert Scoble
There's no competition. Barrack Obama. Fancy plain, gets to call anyone in the world and get called back. Media exposure, travel, awesome house and the job comes with a private plain, helicopter and military force. He's the leader of the free world and when he speaks, everyone (even those that despise him) listen. That job rocks. Tough... but rocks.
- Jason Nunnelley
Leo, Patrick and Martin Sargent came to Houston once ... nothing techie really happens in Houston either
- Kashif Khan
I have 2 extremely cool jobs: I work in craft brewery 't IJ in Amsterdam. And I work in 1 of the best assorted beerstores in the world, de Bierkoning, with more than 900 different types of beer.
- Ton Zijp
Once heard a guy talking about his job as a professional whiskey taster. They provided him a driver. I'd work for any Islay whiskey producer in that position.
- Jason Nunnelley
I meant spoiled in a good way, of course!
- John Fox
Robert's job is long hours and hard work. I don't want it.
- Jason Nunnelley
Gianfranco: Well, I work in a beerstore. So you can't drink them there (although I am allowed to do that). You have to buy the bottles at de Bierkoning (just behind the Palace) to take them to your hotelroom & drink them there.
- Ton Zijp
Jim's might not be the most exciting or adventurous job out there, but he certainly provides some very interesting insights and things to look in on.
- Dean Clark
Jason I haven't worked an hour in the last few years.
- Robert Scoble
@AstroMike is the NASA astronaut Twitter-er. But my vote is with Nir Ben Yona. That's a killer job right there.
- Aaron Turpen
Nir: my friend Bill Storage has had naked super models in his house. I would still rather have Jim Long's job.
- Robert Scoble
I like my job, personally. I get to be home with my family all day and set my own schedule. Heck, I'm going to Boston in 2 weeks and don't need to request any time off work. I'll just work from out there!
- Jesse Stay
I think Paul Therotte has a pretty cool gig. I dont know what he makes but seems like a good gig.
- Spirit 2.0
I wouldn't take Barack Obama's job for all the tea in China. I love my own job: helping entrepreneurs get started and grow. As my kids used to say, "my mom thinks on the phone for a living." Now I think online:-) No complaints here.
- Francine Hardaway
It isn't new but a guy I know rode a boom camera for the Donnie and Marie Show (yeah I know) and said it was the most fun he ever had.
- Bob Calder
from twhirl
There is a guy who works for Sports Illustrated who's job is to brush off the sand from the backside of the swimsuit models. I saw it once on a documentary. That would be a pretty cool job.
- Andrew Leyden
We get to travel around the world filming the best organic food, eco-accommodations, exotic locations and some of the true top chefs on the planet...just saying.
- HippyGourmet
Mythbusters crew. They get to do all the coolest things in the name of good tv.
- John Ford
John, I've got to admit the blowing stuff up (w.out hurting people, cause the pres gets to blow stuff up) is pretty cool. I'm voting on Mythbusters crew. Good one.
- Jason Nunnelley
l'd love to be an artist - musician/painter/cartoonist if only I had that much talent :(
- Krishna Gade
Photographers seem to have hell of a time. They meet new (even famous) people, travel constantly, and have a creative job. Win. Fashion Photographers have even /more/ fun, from the sounds of it ;)
- Ahsan Ali
Not *the* coolest, but mine ain't bad. Recently started driving cross-country in a 1986 RV meeting people and telling their stories on video. http://thehardestyear.com
- John
Robert: I have the collest job in the world, because it was designed by me, so that I get to spend every day, doing what I love the most. I'm just trying to figure out how to get paid to watch re-runs of The Big Bang Theory show too - then it will be perfect!
- Jim Connolly
Jim: anyone who has a job that they love is in a great place, I agree. We're very blessed there.
- Robert Scoble
To me right now, any job that pays enough for me to keep my house is the coolest one in the world. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any of those around here.
