Hurtling down water slides while having all your travel expenses paid for sounds too good to be true. But Last year, 22-year-old Seb Smith was selected out of 2,000 applicants to be a water slide tester for First Choice Holidays' resorts.
His responsibilities included zipping down water chutes around the world and testing them for future vacationers. He assessed the water slides' features, such as "adrenaline factor" and "biggest splash."
The job came with a salary of about $30,904, paid travel expenses and a seven-day vacation for two at any of the operation's resorts after his six-month contract.
