If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? No, being a slacker and getting paid for it doesn't count. Personally, mine is either a sports or political journalist but I doubt either will ever happen for me.

Red Arrows pilot

Sperm donor

Musician

Women's restroom attendant

Dude.... you don't want that

My ideal job would be to rise to power, significantly reform our political system, then step down and appoint someone capable of ruling. ...Fat chance. :headbang:

Music journalist, or airline pilot. Already am a music journalist technically, I occasionally write for a student newspaper...though I don't get paid.

But that is my ideal job, and I've actually found it! I'm at work right now! I'm not doing anything though!

Wasn't this in one of the corrupt a wish threads?

I don't know.

Have you ever cleaned a women's restroom?

Congrats, you have proved me wrong. Or have you?

I'm doing mine. I'm at home looking after my 3 year old son, managing a website, while writing a bit of fiction in my spare time. The only thing that sometimes sucks about it is a lack of adult conversation. I miss the smutty jokes and the "he said she said" of office or factory life. When my son starts school I'm thinking of trying to get into local journalism or something else that involves writing.

My ideal job is to take over the world and send every nuclear missile in the world headed straight for Paris. (Even France's nuclear missiles) France Sucks!!!

Professional triathlete/hedge fund manager - both at the same time is reasonably possible.

But then France would have all the nuclear missles in the world

Wandering philosopher and scholar. People would pay me to write things and to talk to them about stuff, it'd be great.

Nope. France would not exist anymore.

A lab monitor/TA - hey wait! I already do that and my job sucks!

There is, or at least recently used to be, a job where you could do this. It's called the Lord Keeper of the Sink (or possibly Cinq) Ports. It's great, as they haven't existed for years, yet the job is either still existent, or only went out a few years ago. And the pay was amazing - something like £500k per year.

I think somebody's being a bit of a silly billy... :rolleyes:

a socialist revolutionary

Same here.

arist/ scriptwriter/ socialist revolutionary

What is up with "socialist revolutionary"? Maybe mine should be "guy that assasinates socialist revolutionary" :D

lets all create a guerilla group, yey for socialism

Musician/Composer. Best job in the world. Maybe leftist philosopher on the side.

Dictator of the world would be pretty cool, except I'd try to fix everything I thought was wrong, and then retire. But that's a tad unrealistic ;)

winning lotto ticket holder.

after which point, i'd be a student for the rest of my life and end up with like 10 phds and 30 bachelor's degrees.

I don't know what I'd like to do professionally...

I guess something like a novelist (even though I'm crap) or the head of some huge multinational corporation that goes into early retirement at the age of 22 (thats this march btw :p ) with a pension of about 5 million dollars a year :p

Ju-Jutsu instructor, Pay's way too low though.

So I'm stuck in IT. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Two things: first, do you know how long it would take to earn that many degrees? and second, most universities won't let you in to study for a PhD if you already have one unless they are in closely related fields, and then after the second you're SOL.

Own my own company.

Rather than getting a job. Prefer to be working for myself rather than working for someone.

Hmm...
Well, I'm very interested in toxicology, so maybe something related to that...
I don't know of many jobs pertaining to it though.

My other big inerest would have to be chemistry, specifically drug chemistry. No, not the illegal sort...
*shifty eyes*
It would be nice to work at one of the pharmaceuticals corporations, if it weren't for the fact that I despise most pharmaceuticals corporations.

Run a book publishing company.

We'd have a vast selection of philosophy, as well as a vast selection of political/historical, as well as of course a good selection of original fiction. We could sign our writers to multi-book deals and start a monthly publication for the respective areas of writing and get a whole little literary community.

We'd have our own literary scouting division looking for new talents in each area.

And we could publish public domain works and acquire copyrights as necessary to publish book collections on various subjects (Romantic fiction, capitalism/socialism, etc.)

And I'd be the president of it and I'd get to personally deal with authors and discuss their ideas with them.

I would like to be a taste tester for Tropicana.
