Imagine getting paid $150,000 to blog about the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Anyone hear about this or thought about doing it? They are still taking applications and if you’re interested, you still have 37 days to apply.

Would you drop everything and just go if you were chosen for the job?

It's really cool. But I can't drop everything and just go.

I probably would. I'm unemployed and in college. I could use some time off, and the money

well, my answer is no.... job is a secondary consideration when it comes to what i want to have in this world at first place.... this job will leave me less time , and all im worth till now is due to the TIME.. so i would pretty much love having a job that i can do well or be on a constant verge to keep it well and then have my time for my earthly & unearthly explorations...

  lol, i can happily report if i want to rather than im put to report things ( see job requirements ) ... would have been a good offer if it was a job for me and by me... the one2one process communicates in my veins well !!!

I also cannot drop everything and leave for an extended period of time. But it is very tempting!
