One of the best jobs has to be...

[Sooda]

A match commentator for a website. BBC Sport for football match say or Cricinfo. Watch sport, type (be able to do so really fast maybe) a bit of banter with people mailing and texting inane comments. Whats not to love. Ok im sure theres a lot more to it, a journalistic flair (not to mention qualifications maybe), wit and some sort of knowledge and insight tactical and otherwise in the sport concerned... They must have a great time

Yes, it is certainly one of the coolest jobs around.. Commentating on the sport you love the most and getting paid for it..:woot: But it is harder than it looks though. For one, you need to be dexterous with your fingers to be able to type that fast (assuming they actually type). Your English language skills must be flawless (no typos, grammatical errors etc.) and most crucially, your vocabulary must be vast enough to use the same words repeatedly. P.S; Personal note - One of guys who did cricinfo's commentary in today's game, Nitin Sundar, is my classmate from high-school. He's an MBA grad from IIM-A, went to work as a management consultant in the Gulf for an insane salary, but quit his job to join cricinfo for a fraction of what he used to earn earlier.

I think its all good till your team is winning. Or else it might turn into a nightmare.

^Why wouldn't they? I am sure they make loads of money in revenue from ads and what not. For all I care, they fly their specialists to every venue for quick updates.
