6 jobs in UAE we wish we could have

In life, there are two types of people. Those who love their job and those who wish there is a snow blizzard everyday so they won’t have to go to work. If you belong to the second category, then I am going to add just a teeny-tiny pinch of salt to your injury by telling you about these awesome jobs that are in my opinion the best to have if you live in the UAE.

So, here are the top 6 jobs to have in the UAE.

If you don’t know what a social media influencer is then you are so '90s! This new breed of digital VIPs have thousands, sometimes millions, of fans and followers on social media which make them very appealing for the companies that are trying to market their products. If you succeed in becoming a high-profile influencer in UAE, you will be treated to endless freebies, red carpet invites, private jets rides, luxury travel experiences and possibly lucrative deals with big brands. The downside to this job is exerting yourself to post a few photos on Instagram and tweet how #awesome your trip to #Vienna was!

Being an in demand personal trainer in UAE has a long list of benefits. For example, you are getting paid to look good and stay in shape, your office will be Kite Beach Walk or a swanky gym in a luxury Marina building. You will also get to choose your clients and charge them a decent amount for whipping them back into shape. And if you have a celebrity client, then that’s your publicity and advertising sorted for free. All those squats were not for nothing!

If you are a successful radio host in UAE then you are really lucky! Not only you can avoid major traffic jams and go to work dressed in pajamas without worrying about a bad hair day, but also, you can meet all the A-List celebrities who descend on the country almost every month. I mean who wouldn’t want to interview Rihanna, hang out backstage with Pharrell Williams or sit in the V.V.I.P area during a Coldplay concert? Life can be so unfair sometimes!

How stressful life with dolphins can be? We can’t think of a single bad thing about going to work every morning to play with dolphins while getting a sexy suntan in a 5 star hotel overlooking the Jumeirah Palm! Do you still think your job is cool?

From dining for free in the hottest restaurants to media trips to luxurious hotels in the Maldives to attending fashion weeks to receiving countless freebies ON A DAILY BASIS! Yes, that’s the tough life of a magazine editor in the UAE (I experienced this first hand and I can honestly tell you this is an actual job).

With the ongoing events, fashion shoots and celebrity appearances in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, there is a serious need for professional stylists. If you have the experience and the connections, then you’ll be paid to spot the latest trends, shop them from the chicest boutiques then playing dress up with models and celebrities. Yes ... choosing between a Prada and a Chanel can be really stressful!
