5 of the most Jobless Jobs in sports

A referee to check where an athlete took his last step! Where have all the video cameras gone!?

#1 Lifeguards at Olympic Swimming Events

28 Olympic medals, but Michael Phelps might still drown in the pool. Let’s have a lifeguard to save him from the water.

Imagine the amount of trauma Michael Phelps goes through every time he takes to the swimming pool. There's all sorts of thoughts going through his head, how his opponents are, how hard he needs to perform to win and the huge chance that should things fail to go to plan, he could drown!

Except, NOT!!

The Olympics - the largest and most prestigious sporting event in the world - requires the presence of professional lifeguards in all of their swimming events. That's not just offering a job to someone, it's basically offering them free money to sit on a chair and wear flip-flops.

That's the most jobless job in the world. You're at a swimming pool where your job is to save the lives of professionals who are doing what they do best and are definitely better than you at it. Staying afloat is all they've trained for, their whole life and to expect a professional swimmer, let alone the best athletes in the world who participate in the Olympics, to drown in a swimming pool that's usually just 16 feet deep is just blatant ignorance.
