He beat 34,000 applicants to secure the position, which came with a A$150,000 salary and a luxury villa on Hamilton Island, in Queensland

In my opinion the best job in world is becoming a software engineer because you only have to sit at one place and you get a handsome amount for that.

Of course, money is a big determinant for a good job. But if money were not an issue I personally would prefer a career/profession that utilizes human creativity, talent and artistic skills. Maybe in the footsteps of Jesus, carpentry, and hence developing one's skills to create true masterpieces. I personally believe I would be overly satisfied (if money was not an issue) with a trade of metal working, welding, and shaping to construct wonderful artistic pieces and physically construct fine sculptures with useful potential. Materials engineering intrigues me deeply and the handling of different alloys and molding/melting seems to me a great idea of fun that would bring satisfaction and accomplishment.

What is your ideal job?

I'd agree with the "doing what you love to do".

For me, I don't know what that is. I think it's a combination of tinkering, building, programming, using CAD programs, and writing. So for now, the job is figuring out how to do all of these things in a way that will be meaningful for me but of value to someone else.

It's frustrating, but it's all about the journey and not the destination, right?

I think the best in the job Money wise
Being a lawyer there salory is real good
This is Australia's Salary

Salary AU$44,441 - AU$106,221
Bonus AU$0.00 - AU$12,307
Profit Sharing AU$0.00 - AU$50
Total Pay AU$44,647 - AU$111,558
This is United States

Salary $44,430 - $142,430
Bonus $0.00 - $23,943
Profit Sharing $1,012 - $29,967
Commission $0.00 - $37,500
Total Pay $44,941 - $164,711

This is a real good job but it takes alot of studying to get to this stage but there is a higher job Lawyer's try to aim for which is being a Judge.
They have a Higher paying rate but there salary is unknown/ Classified.

So i think Being a Lawyer and Judge are the best in the World Money Wise.
