re: Easiest high paying job?

As far as US positions are concerned being your company’s rep for Wal-Mart in NW Arkansas is an extremely easy gig. So a few decades back Wal-Mart had the genius idea that if your company was of a certain size, you needed to have a rep living in Arkansas within 30 miles of their HQ of Bentonville in order to sell products in their store. This just blew up NW Arkansas’ local economy since all these organizations would just hire some random guy or chick to basically move there and do almost nothing.

You don’t do diddly dick for 95% of the year and just sit around and if Wal-Mart summons you or your company wants you to go talk with Wal-Mart and even when that happens someone higher up in the company is going to fly in to help you out and make sure you don’t frick this up. A very sizable portion of the population of NW Arkansas just get drunk all the time on their company’s and Wal-Mart’s dime and basically be a seat filler.

EDIT: And I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic here, but one of the questions they ask you getting this softball position is “What is you golf handicap?” Seriously, you’re just expected to play golf with these Wal-Mart executives, and whenever something of actual importance is on the table, they send in people from corporate that actually know what they’re talking about. It’s the most relaxed job in the country with great pay that anyone can get so long as you’re open to live in Fayetteville, which is a nice place to live.
