While most of us dream of such grand scale jobs, some of us are actually in the best job in the world already. Fatherhood. On a different scale, on a different approach and a different point of view, this is the best job I have ever tackled. For one thing, I don't see myself getting fired from it anytime soon, so that accounts for security. The pay is negligible but the perks are absolutely amazing. There are no sick leaves and annual leaves mean you are still working (you still have a job!). There is no overtime pay and severance pay, but there are merit increases from time to time. It's hard work, but bar none, being a father is the best job in the world.
Where else do you have to clean up after everyone in the house, put up with being expelled your own bed, do extra hours to earn a living, get psychologically attacked by purple dinosaurs and talking monkeys, be able to close your eyes every night with the satisfaction that you'll be doing it all again when you wake up tomorrow and actually look forward to doing it all over again?
Nowhere in my life have I ever been as happy as being a husband and a father (and sometimes a slave, sometimes as a clown, sometimes even as a super hero, and sometimes as a transforming robot).
