Does it pay to have a cool job?

I always wonder - who is the person that writes the blurb on the back of my  new DVD? Whose voice am I listening to in the movie theater during previews?  Whose job is it to map out the do's and don'ts of traveling abroad?

These things don't come about by themselves - it's someone's job to do them. If you think about it, there is a job for almost everything. Some jobs are awesome, others are awful, most are just enjoyable enough to get us through the day.

What about people who have those really "fun," "cool" jobs? You know, the people who love talking about their job because they know others will "ooo" and "ahhh" at the cool factor of their work?

What I've always wondered is, do they pay well?
