The easiest job in the world

Fancy a job where you get paid for doing nothing most of the time?

Where you need absolutely no qualifications or skills?

Where you never have to take responsibility for anything?

Where they feed you all you can eat three times a day?

Where you get to meet all kinds of people, including some very weird ones?

Where you choose whether or not to go to work?

Well, why not become a movie extra (or "supporting artiste" if you want to be precious about it).

"What!" I hear you cry, "This is the perfect job! There must be a catch, Jim. What is the downside?"

Well, it can be very boring doing nothing most of the time. But you can always take a book. Plus it is not very well paid. But they do feed you. Oh, and you usually have to get to work very early. But that means you miss all the rush-hour traffic. And you frequently finish pretty late. But that means you miss all the rush-hour traffic.

Also the work can be very intermittent, so it probably isn't a smart career move. And you sometimes have to dress up in silly clothes and have strange things done to your beard and hair. (If you're a lady, ignore the beard bit. Probably.)


But it just has to be the easiest job in the world. Unless you know different?
