A New Englander’s Dream Job? How You Can Get Paid to Measure Hot Dogs at MLB Parks

There are some things in life you just can't make up that bring a little magic to the world. THIS is one of them. You can be a weiner expert (a "weiner connoisseur", if I may) and get paid to eat hot dogs all day.

Here's the situation. With spring baseball season just around the corner, Bet U.S. is looking for the BIGGEST (and tiniest) hot dog in major league ballpark history. So, you guessed it. They are looking for their next "weiner connoisseur" whose duty is to visit all 30 Major League ballparks and judge each hot dog they can find.

For Mainers and New Hampshire residents, Fenway Park in Boston would be the closest MLB ballpark to visit. However, with this job, it doesn't matter which park is the closest, because you're being paid to travel all around the globe to measure weenies. A dream come true, right?

Bet U.S. wants you to know that size really does matter, and this is what they're looking for:

"For this official ‘Wiener Connoisseur’ position, we are looking for someone who considers themselves a passionate hot dog connoisseur, has a strong opinion when it comes to grilled vs boiled dogs, is well-versed in the world of wieners and smiles at the idea of a literal sausage fest".

It's not a full-time gig, but there's some pretty sweet perks that come along with the job. BET's website claims that you'll travel for free, get free tickets to the games, and receive $2,500 just for doing it (the best perk, in my opinion). They'll also toss in a $500 gift card for MLBShop.com, and a subscription to MLB.TV.

Here's where you can apply between now and April 18.

I'd be all over this if I didn't have a radio show, LOL.
