Your Dream Job?

this:

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.


is why i would be wary of this:

A male porn star.:eek:;)

:p
 
Apart from the obligatory rock/movie/sports star, i'd love to be in the riot police just so i can batter treehugging anarchists..

That does sound like a whole lot of fun.

At this point, I think my current dream job would be to be a rock climbing instructor or a beta tester for FPSs. I could also see myself being happy as a studio bassist, provided i had enough work.
 
I'd love to be a part of the ESPN college football GameDay crew. Going to all of the classic college football locations - Tuscaloosa, Norman, Lincoln, the Swamp, Death Valley, Happy Valley, the Big House, The Horseshoe, the Coliseum, etc. - and analyzing all the best matchups of the season. My kind of gig!
 
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.

Please tell me you shall bring common sense to engineering. Please? Its almost as though all of the people I know, as soon as they received their degree, lost all forms of common sense. Even the normally common sense smart ones.
 
A professional bassist, who gets to travel the world and make my living performing a wide variety of music....

Oh wait - I already do that! :D
 
What I'm planning on pursuing in the next couple of years: Being the founder and head consultant of a leadership and organizational development firm that specializes in public and non-profit agencies.

...either that or a male escort with a client list of the hottest starlets in Hollywood. :D
 
Dream job? I'd love to be one of those human society workers that rescue animals all day. They call them "Animal Cops" but I forget what their actual position is.
It'd be very rewarding, I believe.
As an animal lover I don't think I'd be able to:

a) deal with the sadness of seeing animals in pain all day, knowing that there were massive limitations on me to relieve it.

b) restrain myself from physically hurting those responsible for said cruelty.

I'm immensely glad that there are people performing that duty, I know it's not for me.
