Sometimes when I'm bored I like to search for jobs on monster in career tracks very different from my own. If I find a job listing that sounds interesting I sometimes invent a life that would go along with that path... just to see what would come up, I typed "Figure Skating" in the keyword field.
This listing came up, and it sounds like such a dream gig! Unfortunately it was posted in June so I'm sure that they have filled it.
