I have compiled a list of the seven best jobs that could make you happy. 1. Hospitality Staff Before I had children I worked in a variety of hotels, backpackers, cafes and bars are across Europe, this allowed me to travel and earn money and I was lucky enough to live and work in Amsterdam, Edinburgh, on the French Riviera and on the West Coast of Scotland.
