ABOUT THE SHOW:
Unless you're a Powerball winner, or you've inherited a large sum of money, chances are you have to wake up every day, go to work and make a living. For most people, a job is just a job, little more than a way to pay the bills. But what if work were more like play? What if, instead of living for the weekend, you lived for Monday morning? There are people who feel that way; you just have to find them. We did.
Some of the "best jobs ever" featured in this hour are no-brainers: A photographer who shoots for Victoria's Secret and a Hollywood stuntwoman working on major motion pictures and television series. Others are more subtle, more subjective: A Detroit music teacher who's changing and even saving lives by giving inner-city teens a positive place to go after school. Spend some time watching the people profiled in this hour and you'll see why they all believe they have one of the "best jobs ever."
