Yesterday, I learned of a new dream job that is being offered on Australia’s Hamilton Island, where an individual can earn their income for: snorkeling, exploring the island, and staying in a rent-free beach house. When this job was posted, the information site (http://www.islandreefjob.com/) received 200,000+ hits, later resulting in crashing the site.

Another perk of this bliss-filled job is blogging about your experiences. You will be provided with a blog that you will need to update on a weekly basis containing: journal entires, photos, and videos of your experiences in exploration of this island. This is the main way to get information about the island’s benefits and activities to the outside world. Who would have thought that the dream job would involve a task like blogging?

This truly shows you how involved the world has now become in the blogosphere.
