Still looking for a job, then think about traveling the country driving the Planter's Peanut-mobile! Laugh if you want, but what a great job right? The Mike & Carla Morning Show this morning and it sounds like a lot of fun.

Everyone talks about driving around in the other famous food type car, the "Weinermobile". But the bottom line, they aren't looking for drivers...however, the peanut company is. And this is where you might come in. You have to have some credentials though. This job is NOT for everyone!

Drive All Over The Country In The Planter's Peanut-mobile

Consider the fact that Carla Rea might be ready to driveaway! Now, keep in mind, she might be a little over qualified. There are some requirements since, according to OutKick, you have to have a college degree, be well versed in Social Media, and be outgoing! They even say in the article, if you're shy, don't apply!

Of course it's not just you driving around, you have a couple of others with you on the road. The job describes hosting events, driving in parades and doing interviews as a part of the job description.

The "Nutmobile" is a fun vehicle to drive and if you have nothing planned for the summer, what a kick this would be. Just tooling around the country in a big peanut spreading the good word of Planter's!

The only down side that was mentioned in the article is if you might have a peanut allergy. If so, might not be for you...but we get it! Again, think about it, you get paid for driving around the country in a gigantic peanut! Not too many people have that on their resume. We think wearing the costume might be optional, but you should check.

Below is The M&C Morning Show talking about it, and if it's half as fun as the conversation, we think you have the perfect job!

When night falls, the ocean lights up with tiny, glowing plankton. This magical phenomenon turns the shoreline into something out of this world.

But the wonders don't stop there. In Bolivia, the Salar de Uyuni, a vast salt flat, transforms into a giant mirror when it rains. This surreal sight makes us question what's real and what's not, proving that nature loves to play tricks on us in the most delightful ways. In Northern Ireland, the Giant's Causeway will make you feel like you've stepped onto another planet. Its neat arrangement of rock columns looks like the work of a skilled artist.

Many places deserve special attention on your travel bucket list, whether you're after a serene beach experience, an off-the-grid retreat, or an exploration of a new city abroad.

Take a look at these eight seemingly unreal places to add to your travel bucket list.

Antelope Canyon, Arizona

This Arizona canyon was naturally carved by rainwater streams within the sandstone. The Navajo Nation gave it the name 'The place where water runs through rocks.' Visit Arizona explains that the Upper Antelope Canyon tour is more frequented due to increased sunlight and towering walls reaching 120 feet. Alternatively, the Lower Antelope Canyon tour is equally remarkable, providing visitors with an immersive encounter among the swirling sandstone walls.

Grand Prismatic Spring, Wyoming

Among the world's largest springs, the Grand Prismatic measures an expansive 370 feet in diameter, exceeding the size of a football field. Its vibrant appearance stems from bands of orange, yellow, and green that encircle the deep blue waters. These diverse colors originate from different strains of thermophile bacteria, thriving in the progressively cooler waters around the spring, as explained by Yellowstone National Park. For a bird's-eye-like view of the Grand Prismatic, they suggest visitors follow the half-mile Fairy Falls trail to a lookout.

The Door to Hell, Turkmenistan

Located in Turkmenistan's Karakum Desert, the Door to Hell is a large fiery crater. It emerged when a natural gas field accidentally caught fire in 1971 and has been burning continuously since then, according to National Geographic. A well-visited tourist spot, the Door to Hell permits visitors to hike down into the crater for a close view of the flames and an opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere of the site. The Door to Hell, also referred to as the Darvaza Gas Crater, is located in a rural part of the country.

Darvaza Gas Crater, The Gate of Hell, or Door to Hell. In the middle of the Karakum Desert, Central Turkmenistan, Central Asia. Sits above the largest natural gas reserve in the world. The crater was created by the collapse of drilling equipment onto an underground cave, and the gas was set on fire in 1971. It's still burning. It is now the prime tourist destination in Turkmenistan.

Diamond Beach, Iceland

Found along Iceland's South Coast, the Diamond Beach is a volcanic black sand shoreline adjacent to the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Ice blocks from the glacier lagoon wash ashore after breaking into smaller pieces at sea, as mentioned in the Diamond Beach Travel Guide. The beach is also a natural habitat for seals.

Mendenhall Glacier Caves, Alaska

According to the Tongass National Forest, the Mendenhall Glacier is among the numerous expansive glaciers originating from the Juneau Icefield, an area spanning 1500 square miles of rock, snow, and ice. The glacier gradually advances under the influence of gravity, descending down the slope. Over time, it carves the bedrock and erodes during its 13-mile path until it reaches Mendenhall Lake.

Thor’s Well, Oregon

Located on the Oregon coast near Cape Perpetua, there's a large sinkhole that appears to swallow seawater continuously, resembling a bottomless pit. According to Yachats Oregon, it's often called the "drainpipe of the Pacific." They explain that the well is actually a hole in the rock that gives the impression of draining ocean water. Some researchers believe this well might have started as a sea cave shaped by waves. Over time, its roof likely collapsed, creating openings at the top and bottom, which spray ocean water.

Found close to the town of Gryfino in West Pomerania, Poland, the Crooked Forest consists of 400 peculiarly contorted pine trees. As revealed by Discovery, these pine trees were planted approximately in 1930, back when the area was part of the German province of Pomerania. Starting from the ground, the pine trees exhibit a distinctive feature: they grow with a sharp 90-degree bend towards the north, before gracefully straightening up towards the sky.

Pink Beach, Padar Island, Komodo National Park, Indonesia

The beach is named for its pink sand, which comes from tiny organisms in the coral reefs nearby. Visitors can swim, snorkel, and see marine life like sea turtles and manta rays in the clear water. The beach also has great views of hills and turquoise waters.
