  1. You can adopt cats, film your friends and neighbors' cats, visit cat cafes, film cats in the wild, etc.
    1. You can occasionally film videos about other felines.
    2. At least 90% of your videos must be about the house cat Felis catus.
    3. If you choose to adopt any cats, it must be Felis catus, not any other type of cat.
  2. The videos must be about real cats. They cannot be cartoon, CG etc cats.
  3. The payment is indexed for inflation every quarter.
  4. You get US$ 50,000 at the start of every month (after inflation).
  5. You can receive the money in any fiat currency and in any financial institution.
  6. You are free to monetize your cat videos. If you make a profit from monetizing the cat videos, you keep the additional profit.
  7. The money is pre-tax. Though depending on your country's tax law, you may be able to deduct the expenses related to your cats and the making of the videos.
  8. Any expense related to the cats and video making equipment comes out of your own pocket (which includes your monthly $50,000 payment).
  9. You must devote time to taking care of any cats you may adopt and making videos on part with a full time job.
    1. If your country has a legal maximum work week before overtime, you must devote that much time to your cats and the videos on average.
    2. If your country does not have a legal maximum work week, you must devote at least 40 hours a week on average.
    3. If your country has mandatory vacation, sick leave, etc, those also apply to your cat video making.
    4. If your country does not have mandatory vacation, sick leave, etc, you get 2 weeks vacation, 1 week of sick leave, and 12 weeks parental leave.
  10. You must publish your cat videos. Your output volume must be comparable to a full time video maker.

Cats are amazing and hilarious. You could pay me 10% of that and I'd take the job.

I'd love doing this. I'd just travel around and go to animal shelters, making videos about all the different adoptable cats.

Hell yeah, I love cats and have 4. I would totally use the time to film and promote cats at local rescues in my area. A dream job for sure.

Cats love me so that's easy money. Even cat described as mean by their owner are super nice to me.

Holy shit, absolutely.

I'd even use the opportunity to rescue more cats than the two I already have, some of which I'm sure I'd adopt myself lol

I am not sure either. I think most animal video channels only put out 1-2 videos a week. They are probably not full time video makers though. But then again, you cannot really put out too many of them because of fatigue.

Sure.

Long as video editing and video promoting is part of the 40hr a week requirement.

The video edits count toward the time requirement. You can outsource it if you really do not want to learn it though.

Yeah but I'd pay someone 200,000 a year to do it for me so I could just be in the videos and not do any of the work.

Well, you do need to personally work in something that relates to the production of the videos. So you can't just mount a video camera and film the cat. Though I suppose acting in the videos is fine.

The offer only lasts 15 years. If you are 45 and working in retail, that is a big upgrade. If you are 25 and a software engineer, having 15 years of cat video maker on your resume would probably reduce your lifetime earnings.

Where do you think I'm from that I could say no to ANY legal job which pays such a ridiculous sum?

This is a dumbass thread, I'm sorry.

I'd do this for free if I could be provided perfect cats for this.

But if I have to do the legwork, then no deal.

Why wouldn't you do this?

The details of this... why wouldn't you? Lol. I sit at my computer for work looking at god damn spreadsheets and emails and asinine client requests and demands.

Cat videos for 600 per year? Jesus christ.

Yes, that's more than enough money to hire other people to do all the actual work
