Whats your dream job? If you could do anything in the world for a living, what would it be?

Nothing. I would be paid vast amounts for being alive, and spend it as I saw fit.

big-time studio and landscape photographer, paid.

librarian. :D

librarian. :D

Me, too! Me, too! With some general research along with it, perhaps something like people coming up and asking questions to which I go find the answers (but no homework help).

Working at a Coffee Shop that only sold Coffee so that I don't have to learn how to make Espressos and Capuccinos but somebody would be on hand to make those things for ME, if I wanted one. And I'd get paid with a potato sack of money at the end of the day. And I could read on the job. And go on the internet. And be rude to customers. And I could rest on a couch. And there would be a water bed. And a pool. And a pool table. And video games. And a corner where hot nude people were doing jumping jacks all day. Yeah. Dream job.

Whats your dream job? If you could do anything in the world for a living, what would it be?


Heheh Iknow it sounds kinda sad, but I'm pretty much doin' it.

TV Land!

Professional shit disturber. Right now, I'm just an unpaid amateur.

No, actually, I would love to be able to make the kind of living that would allow me to focus on music to the exclusion of almost all else for large periods of time.

A blend of the two would be ideal...

Supreme Ruler of All Existence. Best. Job. Evar.

dictator would be cool for a while (until the decapitation :rolleyes: , they suck)

but since that won't happen anytime soon (and because i'm not really for violence etc.) i'd rather become a doctor in the third world. seems pretty cool, a lot of travelling and you can help where it is really necessary. or else maybe politician, but there isn't really a mainstream party wich appeals to me.

Either rock star or medical examiner. I love music and cutting open dead things.:D

Working in film and television, which is what I'm doing. I just want to be more on the creative end of it rather than the pick people up from the airport/fetch shit side of it where I am now.

I want to work with nanoscience.

Psychologist would be amazing, in my opinion. Clinical psychology to be a little more exact.

professional poker player.

the only drawback is that most of the money is made past my bedtime so id have to reprogram my sleep cycles.

Galactic Overlord.

Pilot or being God's hitman.

Hmmmm. Well, i'm sure there's a lot of people out there i'd be happy to do for a living....

But as for careers, the following spring to mind:

James Bond Villain/Miscellaneous evil overlord
Evil scientist/doctor
Ancient Greek philosopher
Poet/author
Jedi Knight
Stunt Pilot
Beer Taster
Trophy husband
Stereotypical rock star/misunderstood avant-garde 'artist'
Cult leader

...yes, those'll do.

I'd like to have that job that Jigsaw, the guy in the Saw movies, had. Only, minus the cancer.

A 1 dimensional point of infinite mass please

I will be paid with whatever stick’s to me I very profitable job in my case :D

Night time Janitor. :D

Record shop owner, librarian or journalist.

Actually, I intend to have one of the latter jobs for a number of years, until I have enough money to open my own record shop. Of course, by that time it's entirely possible that 95% of music purchases are digital, in which case I'll just stick with the job I have.

Playing golf professionally on the PGA tour would be my dream job.

German highschool teacher of English and Biology.

German highschool teacher of English and Biology.

I was sure you were going to say pornstar.

My dream job would require twisting the boundaries of time and space a bit, since it would be something like "music teacher at selective private high school by day, professional choral singer by afternoon, rock star by night, poet on weekends, neuroscience researcher every other Thursday, linguist Tuesday afternoons, who gets starring roles on Broadway every few years and participates in paleontological digs in the summer in between raising a few kids, taking in abandoned pets, and volunteering for numerous good causes, and who still gets plenty of sleep every night." I'm sure I'm leaving out a few key elements, too. :)

Photographer for TIME.

Philosophy lecturer. Paid to read and write books on the mysteries of mind and reality and discuss them with fledgling students and experienced researchers. Heaven.

Sadly, in my foolish desire a few years ago to specialise in industry, that dream has been all but extinguished...

I want a part-time job at the Sizzler! Bonus points for reference.

Wakka wakka doo doo yeah!

Wakka wakka doo doo yeah!

Close enough.

receptionist for deafway or for Tayside Association for the Deaf...any association which has a lot of deaf clients and i can use my sign language lol

Dunno, actually.

But hey, since we're talking "dream" I don't have to be realistic, so I'll go with travel photographer/writer - getting paid to travel to cool places, take awesome pictures, and tell about it. =)

Or, actually, big time photographer, period. War photographer, too.

I can tell you've really thought about this. Awesome. :p (except for the bolded part, that's just disturbing. >.<)

Whats your dream job? If you could do anything in the world for a living, what would it be?

independantly wealthy.

Nothing. I would be paid vast amounts for being alive, and spend it as I saw fit.
That's the ticket.

But if a Dictator position opens up, I'll take it.
EDIT: Except in present-day Iraq!

Dictator of a hyper-power, would be the ultimate dream job. The best real job I could think of would be a professor at a large university.

actually, sign language tutor might be a cool job. They do next to no work and just spend the entire day getting pissed, jammy bastards! :P

I would be a professional procrastinator.

My dream job ? Already had it.

Computer Game Designer

Pilot or being God's hitman.

There are video games for those.

something outdoors (or at least not in an office or laboratory) and interesting that i can leave behind when i finish for the day. i don't want to have to take work home with me or have to write reports and suchlike.

Psychologist (who doesn't charge fees but somehow has money...)
Something working with young children e.g. playschool teacher
Author...
Journalist (political/psychology etc)

Working in film and television, which is what I'm doing. I just want to be more on the creative end of it rather than the pick people up from the airport/fetch shit side of it where I am now.

Do you know exactly what on the creative side and if so, do you believe you have the ability to do it?

Computer Game Designer

Torment on the human brain....I'll tell ya....

Whats your dream job? If you could do anything in the world for a living, what would it be?

Work with a computer.

my dream job would consist me me alternating between testing out new video games and testing out new snowboards, while working double time testing out new alcoholic beverages as well as QC'ing medical marijuana

I desperately want to get onto a medicine degree so I can become an oncologist after uni. Cancer's fascinating to me and thanks to my current biochem degree I've got a large amount of background knowledge accumulated before I apply for medicine. If things go to plan, I should be in uni for another 6 and a half years yet.

yeah, but don't you have to specialise after that? so i think you might be studying a lot longer than that.

GOD


I would smite Pat Robertson in front of a large crowd of supporters, than have the clouds coalesce into the words "Move on with your lives, you slack-jawed sheep"

Depends on how you classify studying. UK medical degrees are 5-6 years (Manchester one is 5), with 2 years junior doctor and senior doctor after that. It'll be a while before I could potentially become an oncologist, but not before I'm a practicing doctor. All of this is subject to whether I actually get in yet though...

just curious, what do you have to do to get in?

Football journalist, dictator, or musician.

Librarian.
At the Stadtbucherei Bamberg, to be precise. Only, I'd somehow have to move it out of Bamberg, because I wouldn't want to live there again, ever.
I had my dream job, for 1.5 years, 4 years ago... *sigh* Well, that's life.

Man, don't be a librarian. I've done it, and it isn't fun. I was a volunteer, and your eyes hurt like bugger after a while. You do not want to organize shelves.

GOD

I was in meditation and prayer last night
when I was awoken by a shining bright light
Overhead
A glorious spirit
It gave me a message and you all need to hear it

Send Me Your Money

Thats what he said, he said,
"Send Me Your Money."

Man, don't be a librarian. I've done it, and it isn't fun. I was a volunteer, and your eyes hurt like bugger after a while. You do not want to organize shelves.

That's what untrained personnel would do. Librarians would do that only if there's a shortage of personnel... so I got to do it quite a lot. I liked it, actually.
I studied librarianship for 4 years, and worked in libraries all in all for 3 years.
It's my absolute dream job, but as a German in Ireland it's hard to get into it again.

IT for a major corporation, or a communist revolutionary, like Che Guevara, minus being hunted down and killed by the CIA.

There are many interesting things I would like to try doing.
Astrophysicist
Playboy
Guy who throws banana-cream pies at politicians during speeches
And the one that my university education is closest to: Computer Scientist specializing in artificial intelligence as well as graphics & physics engines for video games

A Pretender, like Jarod.

Either that, or Catwoman.

just curious, what do you have to do to get in?
I'm applying in September, so in that time I have to find some relevant work experience (shouldn't be hard, I have a car and there's 4 hospitals in quick driving distance from here/1 in my home town) and, assuming they grant me an interview based on my application, impress them. I've easily got the required grades, if not above and beyond what they're asking for.

oh intresting, here we had to do a test to get into med school.

anyway it's exam time now, so i'm going to read a little bit (to have the idea i did at least something today :rolleyes: )

Whats your dream job? If you could do anything in the world for a living, what would it be?

A writer. I don't even care if I get famous or not; I just like writing.

I'd like to get paid to read.

Any job involving teaching, but that will never, ever, ever happen, not a chance.

I want to either teach African history at a college/university or do humanitarian work in an African country, preferrably one of the least developed ones, so I can make a difference.

A job where I show up at 11, go home at 3, and get to blow up cars and planes for a living while spending enormous time in 'recovery'.

Hasatan.

A Pretender, like Jarod.

Either that, or Catwoman.
You sir win this thread!

I want to be a Time Traveller.

An unliscensed brain surgeon.

Porsche's test driver.

Actually, Harlesburg, I am female. If I was a guy, it would make the Catwoman thing a little akward. BTW, thanks. I NEVER win ANYTHING.


Ever.

Or, how cool would it be to be a Timelord? Supreme!

god :cool:

Broadway Musical star :cool:

That, or supreme ruler of the entire universe, but either one would be just fine. ;]

Super-intelligent and high-ranking policy advisor in the federal government. Of which country? I shall never say.

Touche, a male Catwoman...

Whats your dream job? If you could do anything in the world for a living, what would it be?

Something to do with old books. Especially scriptural texts of various religions... probably researching them, and writing about them.

It's something I do a little bit of anyway - it would be nice to be able to commit time to it, and get paid for it.

Copy/type-editor for a fiction novelist... when I was little I dreamed of being King's, but then I found out that his wife does it for him and now that he's getting old and blind I don't think I've got much of a shot for that anymore. But I could still do it for some other novelist, and that would be awesome.

1) rural regeonal planner with godlike authority
and unlimited budget for tool i could use in the trade (AND take home to play with, which is where i'd be working from anyway, a little cave out in the woods with wall to wall tecnology and its own wind, solar, AND hydro, integrated power source)

2) that or 'bot herder, using psionic amplification remote linkage to mini-construction 'bot to build hernia and park train gauge rights of way.

3) french horn player in a techno/alternative band

4) recreational landscape and structural architect

5) organic farmer (with all of the same toys, i mean tools, i'd have in 1&2 above)

6) have a magical refrigerator, power source and shelter, so i wouldn't have to do anything other then eat, sleep and play, i mean make and do neet stuff, with the toys, i mean tools, as described in 1&2 above

=^^=
.../\...

Super-intelligent and high-ranking policy advisor in the federal government. Of which country? I shall never say.

We could use a Super Intelligent person in the Office of the President that cares about what the American people are saying too them.

I'm looking for the job with the sky high pay
the three day week and the two hour day
maybe it's because I'm inclined that way
but I never could stand being idle

an old song, but it sums up the perfect job for me.

My dream job would be to work in a private practice as a professional counselor, and get paid $100 per session. I am going to be doing that one day, you wait.

worldwide bikini competition judge ;)

I applied for God but interviewed poorly. I'm stuck at the slightly less impressive Supreme Ruler of the Omniverse and All Sentience for now.

I also enjoy creating perfection, so I'd probably make a good writer, photographer, game designer, songwriter, etc.; the world would have been a far better place if I hadn't left it to that muddling fool Jehovah to create it, I promise. :p

Whats your dream job? If you could do anything in the world for a living, what would it be?

B-2 Stealth Bomber bombardier.

I would be an action hero by day with a pensil thin mustache, a huge afro, and amazing Jackie Chan is so jealous of kung fu skills and a voice like Shaggy (the musician not the scooby doo guy). By night I would be a gigolo servicing the needs of hot ladies.
