Spent two weeks mucking around with a chainsaw and axe in a friends forest a wee while ago, great fun but not a potential career move.

How the hell do they think HR or being a software engineer is the best job in the world? HR, seriously?
Just off the top of my head, what about being:

- Food/beer testerComment
