Your friend with the best job?

Not talking about salary necessarily, although that can be included, but best overall job? i.e one that you would gladly swap your career for?

I have a buddy that is in sales for O&G. He basically just takes clients out to lunch/dinner, golf, hunting/fishing trips, etc.
I would trade jobs with him.

My friends all have similar jobs as I do

He doesn't have a job.

Relationship Manager for Capital One. His job is to wine, dine, and entertain clients. In his own words, he "gets paid a ton of money to drink, bro out, and be a professional frat star."

Retired and not yet 40, brah.
People want to trade places with me, not vice-versa.

My pledge brother and friend owns Bass Pro Shops. His dad started it in Missouri.
His job is to get wooed by vendors to get their products on better shelf locations in the stores. Travels to every continent on their dime hunting and fishing animals whose names I can't pronounce.
Has several world records and been on all 7 continents on expeditions.
BEAT THAT.
(he does other stuff as well, actually has a lot of responsibility, but that is the coolest part)
ETA:
He hooked all of us up a lot in college with free stuff and trips on their planes.
Super nice dude and very down to earth. Didn't know who he was until a good ways into our friendship. Had a shitty old truck for most of college.

You don't have to. Several posters on this board can vouch though.
OMLandshark was in my pledge class as well. Ed Osteen can vouch as about 20 guys on SEC Rant who were in my fraternity at Ole Miss.
Couple of posters on here know him as well, some golfers from OSU or something.

I have the best job of my friends. One used to be a professional musician in Seattle, though.

Have a friend who does some combination of lobbying/PR/brand rep for a major firearm manufacturer.
He just goes to events all the time, hangs out around the Hill, and about every other month is sent for some 2 week excursion to fly fish New Zealand or hunt in Argentina, etc.

Yep. Hard to beat him.

I rather enjoy my business, though I am jealous of my friends who do seasonal outdoor work (guiding, rafting, etc.,) and I have a Dutch friend who manages a beach club in the Netherlands, which sounds pretty fricking rad.

I'm pledge brothers with both TheCaterpillar and the guy he's talking about. What he's saying is completely true.

alright
then I'll trade with the friend that lives in London that works with some small start up (I actually have no idea what he does) but he is constantly traveling to some badass places all over the world.
And he seems to be enjoying it from his FB pics
