What's the Story?

BEST JOB EVER is a collection of streaming shorts about some of the most unique and amazing jobs that people have around the world. From climbing glaciers to documenting climate change to exploring the oceans using satellites, submarines, and diving equipment, each brief story features people explaining what their job is and what makes it interesting to them. Throughout it all, job details are captured on video and, in some cases, re-created with special effects.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: Not yet rated
Kids say: Not yet rated

This interesting series highlights the different kind of work that people are doing to protect and conserve nature, make scientific discoveries, and learn more about different cultures around the world. Astrophysicists, marine biologists, conservationists, photographers, and other experts attempt to quickly break down what they do in simplified terms, and note why they're passionate about it. The National Geographic-quality video and imagery help illustrate their points. Their day-to-day work is fascinating, but what makes these jobs truly great are the overall positive contributions they make to the world around us. It's a fun, quick watch, but Best Job Ever will probably leave you wanting to see and learn more.
