Your Dream Job?

Sign in to disble this ad
Well I am happy with my job its not what I want to do forever and there are things I would much rather be doing. So i got to thinking about it and I really want to be a brewer(not an easy field to break into). What would you guys want to do as your dream job. Yes even outlandish things are acceptable answers.

Center or NT for the Pittsburgh Steelers. If not that, I'd settle as an NFL color guy or sports radio talk show host.

I'd like to add luthier to the list. Maybe just a plain radio talk show host as well, or a late night tv show host. Brewmaster would be on the list for sure as well.

My dream job would be teaching math & science at a "magnet" high school for inner city kids, while getting paid like a Wall Street banker (as long as I'm dreaming ...)

Either that, or an F-18 Pilot.

I used to have my dream job. Shoot & edit fashion videos for designer lingerie by day and work for MTV music news by night.
Now I'm stuck with the NFL.

I'd be happy to be a pro bassist, or something, I don't really have a dream job.

My dream job has three elements:

- I do design work (interactivity / UX).
- I do it with a fun team.
- The projects are interesting.

I'm going to school to do get a degree towards my dream job: engineering. Specifically I would want to work with user interfaces. Nothing peeves me off more than buying a product that someone engineered and wondering "why the **** is it like this". I would love to work with car interiors, specifically.

Could you get a job with an eye glass frame manufacturer and get them to PLEASE PUT THE SCREW THAT HOLDS THE LENS IN SO IT WON'T FALL OUT WHEN IT GETS LOOSE?





...I've never been able to figure THAT one out...who the **** designs something to do that?

I'm of the cynical view that anything that I loved that I was employed to do would lose its appeal. Part of why I enjoy my hobbies is that I have no requirements for them -- deadlines, quality levels, output levels, etc. --all of which are typical requirements for employment. I wouldn't want to take something I truly enjoyed and make it into a chore.
