Coolest Jobs Your Friends Have

What are the coolest jobs your friends have?

I have a friend that joined a small PE shop, got equity, and seemingly out of nowhere they had a lot of success.

I know people say you can't get rich overnight, and I guess this wasn't overnight, but it was within a year.

For once I thought this might not be finance related...

Anyway, one cool job a friend has is that they are a professional sportsman. I think it's a pretty awesome career and when they retire at 30 they can then take up another career without needing to worry about money.

Another friend works for a record label and gets to travel around the world going to gigs and music festivals. Seems like a lot of fun and they will get us passes for events whenever we go to things which is a bonus.

 

Two guys are DJs, one worked on Charlie Rose (got to know all the interviewees and worked very closely with Charlie) and is now an author and one was a fighter pilot.
