Are you happy with your day job? If the answer is ‘no,’ then you might want to consider a change in career. Don’t worry, I’m not trying to recruit you into a pyramid scheme or tell you that you can make £10,000 every four seconds from home by filling out a survey. However, I might have found a way for you to be eternally happy in your work, which is basically the same as winning the lottery. It’s going to take a bit of effort though.

The solution to all your problems is simple; you just need to become a stunt driver. Interested? You’d best start honing your car control skills, but the list of perks will be worth the hard work. Just watch this clip of stuntman Laurent Lasko at work. It’s just poetry in motion. He even gets to fire a toy gun… and get paid for it. Start practicing now and it’ll be well worth it when you’re chasing bad guys and re-enacting all of your favourite car chase scenes.

At the end of the clip, we get to experience what it’s like behind the scenes of one of these incredible stunt shows and it all looks like they’re having the best time. So, now’s the time to pack in your job and become a stunt driver…
