What if you could make a living doing things like playing video games, drinking beer, or watching TV?
That'd be the dream, right?
Well, it turns out that there are jobs out there just like that.
Here are a few roles that definitely sound too good to be true:
1. Chocolate scientists
This job will leave you blinded by science — and chocolate!
Back in 2014, the University fo Cambridge posted an opening for a "chocolate scientist." According to Fast Company, the goal of the research was to determine "what would allow chocolate to remain solid and delicious in warm climates."
Sure, it essentially amounts to a multidisciplinary PhD program — but you get to play with chocolate all day.
For scientists with a sweet tooth, it's not a bad idea to keep an eye out for similar opportunities going forward.
2. Traveling beer-drinkers
What if you could get paid to travel and drink beer? Sounds like a fantasy, right?
Well, it's a real position that Smithsonian hired for in 2016, Caroline Praderio reported for INSIDER.
The catch? Candidates had to be professional historians and scholars.
Still, it certainly seemed like a great opportunity for booze-loving historians looking to make $64,650 a year for drinking beer.
3. Water slide testers
If you're looking for a new job to dive into, see if any water parks are hiring.
According to Fast Company, one lucky college student received $30,000 and free travel to journey around Turkey and Egypt testing water slides for SplashWorld resorts back in 2013.
