I want to know what the best job you could ever have is, it doesn't matter if it's made up. Personally i think it would be cool to be an astronaut(and no i am not a seven year old boy)

I want to be a writter

It be glass houses if I made fun of you for that.

But as a writer with bad spelling, thank god for spell check and editors, eh?

I want to get paid for writing nonsense poetry/dialogue. From the feedback I've got so far, it amuses people... but then, they're only the people from my close-circle of friends... ie... people like me. Probably not a huge demographic.

I guess the next step aside would be an anthology with nonsense poetry/dialogue, plus a short fantasy story or two, plus some humour rants.

Basically, I want to get paid for writing. I had a job writing for a newspaper a few years back, and it was just so sweet I don't think I can handle any other sort of job (manual labour = ugh... sigh).

See, this is where I am disturbed by American Idol (among the more obvious)

You know those really bad singers? The laughably bad, the obviously horrible. The ones where you find that you are kinda okay with that jerk judge because that person really aught to have known they suck?

Someone, somewhere encouraged that idiot. Right now, in thier life, they have people telling them, "Yeah, dude. You rock. They'd be crazy not to give you that contract."

Your friend are suspect.

That's why my earliest goal was fans I never met. Getting paid didn't suck, but really-fans you've never met. Where it's at.

I want to be an embedded journalist. This is what I'm training for, per se, with my degree and newspaper experience.

I know my friends are suspect. Hence the admitting that my friends are my friends basically because they share my sense of humour.

But still, I managed to survive as a humour writer for the Sunday Herald Sun for over two years, I must have some semblance of funny-ness.

(Shut up Melbournites, I know it's a right-wing paper, but it was the only offer I had in front of me)

I was just backin' you up, s'all.

That Sun gig sounds like it would have been fun.

Heh. Obviously I've been made paranoid by.. hmm... can't blame lack of sleep... caffeine. That's it. I blame the caffeine.

Please accept my apologies in the form of raspberry shortcake. Or caffeine. Or... I don't know. Monopoly money.

And yep, the Sun gig was mucho fun. Great for the bank too, since it payed ridiculously well. Problem is now I'm all annoyed about having to work *normal* teenager-type jobs.

(nyer! I got paid for surfing the internet and writing about websites! *dances*)

If we where to be fair the line "Your friends are suspect" with out pointing to what you had said made it look like I was introducing information to you. So your assumption was founded based on what was written.

Joe Jobs in between are the reality for a while. At least that's what I'm telling myself........(not currently getting paid, but I am one step closer to a dream gig that I daren't speak about.....)

I get paid(or have been) to make up people and make other people pretend it's them. Almost as cool...little bit....sorta....

<thinks>

Game programmer, artists, writer, maybe a music composer.





<realises something>

Wait! I already am!!

Ha, I once rented myself out as an invisible friend and got paid for forgetting to show up

Professional wrestler. But with no limbs it'll be quite tough. Hopefully bionics will evolve where this will be possible in the next 5-10 years.

I am gonna be a part time writer and archaeologist.

I had a friend that wanted to be wrestling fodder, the guy who was announced already in the ring who was set up just to lose to a new character or set something up. I always thought that was pretty entertaining.

Wouldn't either you or they always have an unfair advantage? Depending on the quality of the bionics, naturally...

It would be awesome if I got payed extreme amounts of cash for my stupid diagrams and my pointless anecdotes.

But thats not going to happen so I suppose I'll have to work for it :)

Mech robot design! Just kidding, been playing Armored Core 2 lately. I'd like a stay at home computer based job somehow...because I like home and computers.

I want to go to space, but I have no interest in being an astonaut.

I'd like to be king of the world, but on a more practical note I'd like to be a travelling philosopher, scholar, and writer on everything. And I think I'll probably be able to do it, lucky me.

I already sign up for the Marines Corps for Infantry, but I want to try out for Recon.

Sign,
Marines 911 :sniper:

I rock at armored core 2, i am the only person i know who has gotten all the weapons, been number one in the arena, and beaten all the missions. in case you haven't beatten it yet, i won't give away the endding, but i will tell you that the hardest mission isn't the final one, its the one where you have to protect the damn submarine and it's in the middle of the night and if you don't know exactly where every enemy is coming from, they get lost in the stars. the trick is to use a hovering legs set, so that you can skim across the water instead of plunging to a murky death.

I should add, since writer isn't my actual dream job, that my dream job is:

Undercover Detective on the Hot Rod Circuit. Now burn rubber, baby!!!
(It was in a Simpsons episode and sounded pretty cool)

I know it really isn't a job, but you said we can make stuff up, so i am making stuff up.

i would like to get paid to do whatever i want. and not just what everyone else wants to do, what I want to do. i don't want to travel the world, i just want to travel to most of eurpoe, to japan, and to a couple of south west asian countries. i want to sit around and think, for no other reason other than that i enjoy doing it.

licenced undercover bra-inspector (like walking up to a girl, squeezing her breasts, and when she starts complaining, say something like "national security" and show of with a shiny badge) how cool would that be?

Good luck finding someone to pay you to do that, but if you do, take the job as quickly as possible.

I just want to be a philosopher. Simple, easy and not too much to ask. Please send alms.

It would get rather tedious after a couple of thousand ;)

You're not poor yet, you get nothing. When you're a poor starving philosopher on the street, I still won't give you anything, because I'll be just as poor as you.

Now there's a serious asperation. Good luck brother, and keep the faith.

when i left university i wanted the most meaningless, pointless and dreary waste for monday to friday possible..all i had to do was work for a few years and i have now acheived my dream job..keep the dream alive man

That's what I always wanted to be when I was a kid.
I always thought it was cool to lie in wait for hours maybe days for mytarget to come by and then take half his head off with a well-aimed high-powered shot.
Ahh those innocent dreams you have when you're young.

Now I'm older I think maybe a bit more like Jean Reno's character in 'Leon' (or 'The Professional' as it's known in some parts of the world).

Other than that:
1. A condom and sex aid tester maybe.
2. Beer taster has always interested me.
3. Travel show host, cause they're paid to go everywhere, spend a couple of weeks there and file a crappy 10 minute report on it.
That little pommy guy who does those travel shows on Discovery channel annoys the hell out of me, but only because I'm insanely jealous of him.
4. My last choice would be a National Geographic photographer, for similar reasons as #3, but you'd also see parts of the World few if anyone else has ever seen and allowed into remote areas that the public aren't allowed into.

I knew an old guy who had a job with the WWF going round doing pest eradications on remote islands. He once spent a Winter on the Auckland islands - find NZ on the map and head south. just before you get to Antartica you might see a tiny speck in the middle of nowhere. That's the Auckland islands. He was shooting all the pigs that had been left there for shipwrecked survivors last century. After that he went to St.Paul's island which is halfway between South Africa and Australia (almost a direct line down from India), to shoot rabbits. Took a 6 week voyage on a French Destroyer sailing from Madagascar to get there apparently. And then he was left there for 3 months.
Fascinating old guy. Also pretty cool job.

The job title in the Army is 11B30P.

The pay sucks, BTW.

And nowadays, everyone knows they hire that out.

If I ever get the job, you'll know it pretty quickly. ;)

Is that a good or a bad thing for me? :) (and sometimes I dont think that you could "silly up" things more then they sometimes are ... though that leads to the serious thoughts that if you were born and raised with things being "silly" like you would change them ... would they be silly to us or just reality)

pit bull tickler

I'm thinking of sending her an email and telling her whatever she's paying the guy, I'll do it for half that.

Would I alter history? I doubt it.

But would people notice when Jerusalem vanished and was replaced with an amusement park? I think so. Or if I made water a gel. :D

Oceanography, zoology, micro-biology, palaeontology, writer or photographer.

I would love to be a photojournalist... working for Natural Geographics. That would be the ultimate job in my opinion. Especially if I was able to center my stories around either wildlife and conservation issues, or indigenous people (Who don't belived that photographs capture a person's soul- wouldn't take pics of people who belive that).

Rogue Belgian Hunter. I'd hunt down Belgians, and yell at them for having a very flat country indeed.

I've always wanted to work in a record store. A REAL, independently-run record store, not like the crappy corporate ones. However the nearest record store around here is about 45 minutes away, and that's way too long of a commute for me.

In some next life I wannabe a buck-rabbit in a rabbitfarm.....

Great movie, great actor, great character. If you get a chance to see him in Wasabi, it's both hilarious, and similarly badass.

Id like to write books and make movies and do radio shows and tv shows, basically anything in which i can slip a profound comment or a wierd joke. But id need a team of helpers, cos i get distracted easily, and need people do do the stuff i dont know how to do. Theres no need to be famous, just being able to make them is good enough :D.

Particularly radio, radio is great, i wanna write radio for the BBC.
