Best and Worst Jobs: Al Qaeda Leader

Scott Adams thinks about the best and worst jobs and concludes,

Yet another “third highest ranking al-Qaida leader” has been killed, this time by a rocket attack from an unmanned drone. There are a lot of jobs that I wouldn’t want, and “third highest ranking al-Qaida leader” is right at the top. But I can tell you for sure that if I ever got that job, the first thing I’d do is narc out one of the top two guys so I could move up a notch.

A point that’s been made before. But Adams goes beyond the call of duty and explains why the guy operating the aforementioned drone has the best job in the world.
