- Michelin restaurant reviewer
I've always been attracted to the idea of reviewing top restaurants on behalf of Michelin, or indeed any other establishment that would care to hire me. One gets to eat in top-class restaurants on a regular basis and of course the opportunities for corruption are almost endless. Better still, reviewers are required to "work" under an assumed name. No comebacks! And I have just learnt that Michelin's insistence on anonymity may even require the reviewer to invent a cover story so that even members of his/her family are unaware of how he/she spends the day.
How are reviewers recruited? Usually at Wendy's, KFC or Wimpy, where head-hunters from Michelin and MI5 are always on the look-out for likely talents.
But can you earn a living in this way? I honestly don't know, but if not you could always combine it with a job as a film critic.
2. BBC Perth Correspondent
Just before the news comes up on the World Service, the BBC draws attention to its network of correspondents around the world by highlighting some of its locations: Shanghai, Jakarta, Paris, New York... Perth. I presume that's Perth Australia and not Perth Scotland, but no matter, the chance's of a trouble-free existence could scarcely be higher. Come to think of it, you could double up as a Michelin reviewer!
