STUDY: Jeremy Clarkson has world's best job. In other news, grass is green, sky is blue.
We'll be the first people to admit that we find ourselves in a pretty cool line of work, but if we were offered the chance to swap jobs with any one person in the world, it very well might be with Jeremy Clarkson. Not surprisingly, it turns out we're not alone.
According to a survey of over 1,600 adults in the U.K. conducted by Shell and British automotive magazine Auto Express, one in three respondents wish they had Clarkson's job. Who wouldn't want to get paid (rather handsomely, at that) for driving fast cars and blowing things up?
Following Jezza on the list were Nigella Lawson (the British food critic, author and television presenter) and TV-wildman Bear Grylls. Other notable names on the I-wish-I-were-you list include Simon Cowell, the Queen, Richard Branson, Cheryl Cole, President Obama, David Beckham, JK Rowling, Hugh Hefner, the Pope, and, um, Father Christmas.

But JC doesn't just drive cars and blow stuff up, he is also an accomplished author.

Fox news is going to have a problem with this list, simply because Obama's name on it. Now there will be endless discussion from morning to evening on how bad this is and they will use this as how government is intruding itself in everything!
pathetic faux news ...

The only reason I wouldn't have Jezza's job is I wouldn't want to be responsible for ruining the best program (or programme, if you prefer)........................in the world.

Bear Grylls' job is great to watch on tv, but I don't think that's a job the average person would want. Clarkson's job I'd take in a heartbeat though... but I'm not nearly old, fat or bald enough.

Uh yeah, definitely greatest job.
Now if only you could combine his job with running Playboy and the mansion and then you would have the absolute greatest job on Earth, hands down.

although we'd all take his job in a heartbeat, the irony is we would all ruin the show if he wasnt in it

I agree with most of the list, but I know that I sure as heck don't want to be the president of the USA... or the leader of any country, for that matter.
