How often have you felt the need to chug down a pitcher full of good craft beer, but the big hole in your pocket or the thoughts of working the next 'whole' day didn't permit you?

But imagine getting paid for not only drinking beer, but getting to go around the world to taste beer.

A Florida-based craft beer bar chain, World of Beer, has advertised for three people to travel around the world and drink beer for them. The three-month internship over the summer will pay the employees $12,000 and even sponsor their travel expenses.

Besides travelling and tasting beer, they will also have to document their experience through blog posts, videos and photos on the company's social media pages. People of 21 years of age and authorised to work in the United States have to apply by March 26.

According to The Sun, Terry Haley, the company's CEO said: "World of Beer was established with the belief that great beer and beer stories have an inordinate ability to connect people and create lasting memories."

"Our Drink It interns embody this belief as they document their journey through craft beer culture, to offer a fresh and highly personal perspective to the craft beer community," he added.

But getting paid to travel and taste beer is not the only cool job in the world. Here are five of the coolest jobs in the world.
