Mitch Moffit Sings About Not Getting the Best Job in the World

A while ago I wrote about the “Best Job in the World” contest being held by the Queensland tourism folks (that’s Queensland, Australia).

The winner was announced this week (congrats, Ben - I’ll keep an eye out for my invite to visit), which means thousands of other people found out they were losers.

One of those losers was Mitch Moffit, from Canada. Not only does Mitch not have the best job in the world, he apparently has no job. Bummer, Mitch.

What Mitch does have is a knack for music and humor, a combination that I would expect to score him a prime gig with Joss Whedon. For now though, check out his song to Australia, with a nod to his mapleicious homeland.

Spend Your Summer Working Abroad. In Canada.

Canada is abroad. Really. It’s not here, it’s way up there, that really broad stretch of land above us. The people are friendly, they speak English (and a little French), the scenery is gorgeous, and what else have you got planned for this summer? It will be like going to camp except they pay you to be there.

Sign up to travel and work in Canada and enjoy the kind people, the beautiful environment, and some of the best outdoor activities in the world.

SWAP Working Holidays has been helping American students get to Canada since 1975, and they’re authorized by the Canadian government so you know they aren’t going to run off with your money or leave you hanging. Canadians are far too nice and honest for that kind of trickery.

You’re eligible for the program if you are:

A U.S. citizen

Aged 18 to 35 upon entry to Canada

A full-time student at an accredited U.S. college or university

Travel like this takes planning, so visit www.swap.ca now for more information, then start thinking about where you want to live, who you want to meet, and whether you’ll start with hiking, biking, or waterskiing.

Travel Adventures in Canada. Really.

When’s the last time you thought about Canada? Can you name three cities in Canada? Do you even know who their President is?

It’s a shame we aren’t closer to our cousins up North, but you can help change that. Sign up to travel and work in Canada and get to know the kind people, the beautiful land, and some of the best winter sporting events in the world.
