What is your ideal job?

Post » Mon Aug 29, 2011 11:17 pm

A job that takes very little time but pays very good. With a good bankroll, a few (or combination of) jobs can fit this criteria: trading, sports betting, poker (needs to be high limits though or it takes a lot of time). So these are my dream jobs... And automatic trading and a poker bot would just be paradise :dance:

When I was a kid I wanted to be a wolf....

Now I'd like to be either a rock/metal singer or something more along the lines of Coldplay.

Oh, and I'd also be a porm star on the side. :rolleyes:

Taste-tester for H?agen-Dazs. What I wouldn't give to be paid to eat their ice cream all day. Only problem would be the medical bills, and I doubt they include health insurance benefits.

Drill sergeant. Every day, you get to yell, scream, swear, humiliate, and insult hundreds of people a day. Right in their face! And there's not a damn thing they can do about it but ask for more. And you get paid for this!

Insurance agent. They get to use some top-secret, state-of-the-art time machines, all so that they don't need to cover any of the unfortunate incidents that will really befall the svckers that pay them.

Mortician. It's got all the perks of being a doctor...the high pay, the ability to cut people up and play with their organs, and the fact that you can say "I'm a doctor!" for instant respect from everyone (or as a pickup line)...without any of the nuisances. Like lawsuits, stupid and annoying patients, insurance companies, or concerned family members.

Psychologist. Having to listen to people whine all day would svck, but on the plus side, you can make up any worthless syndrome and disorder you like, or just use the latest fad one as your contemporaries, make it sound plausible, and hook the svckers in for more sessions.

Vice President of the United States of America. He has only a few meager tasks to do, the most important of which is to be more obnoxious and hateful than the president himself. That way, no one will want to assassinate him, lest they risk putting you in charge. Other than that, all you need to do is sit back, relax, cast the occasional tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and let the prez do all the real work, from meeting world leaders, to signing papers, dropping bombs, and kissing babies

I always wanted to conquer a bunch of islands and force them to build an underwater empire then rule over as a benevolent dictator. And the first thing I'd do is...be a rogue(like a Boss), make some nukes(like a Boss), make a treaty(like a Boss), ride a jet(Like a Boss), write a check(like a Boss), shoot a gun(like a Boss), have some fun(like a Boss), be an a-hole(like a BOSS).

But in all reality, I want to work as a medical researcher in a powerful company like Phyzar or Murk. There, if I find something important out, all I have to do is present it and become a millionaire overnight. Best part is that if that thing is getting sued, I don't care. All I have to do is work on a better version while the company gets all of the legal battles done for me.

As a child I always wanted to be an architect. It came from my love for Bionicles, little buildable action figures with which you could mix and match parts or build your own. I had figured being an architect would be like that, except on a much grander scale. Turns out being an engineer would probably satisfy me more.
But I eventually lost interest in architecture and moved on to other things (but not the bionicles). I wanted to be a book critic and writer for a long time. Then, one day in second grade, whilst browsing the school library, I came a cross a book about black holes. I was immediately enticed... in the pictures. But soon I actually started reading the book, and one thing led to the next. I heard about a dude named Stephen Hawking, and started reading his books, this was in sixth and seventh grade. I read the illustrated versions of Universe in a Nutshell and A Brief History of Time. I now plan to become a particle physicist and study quantum mechanics and the like. So right now I'm really focusing on school and getting good grades so I can get a scholarship.

In short, I liked lego's and stuff and wanted to be an architect. Then I lost interest in architecture. Then I read a book about space stuff, liked it, read more space books, and now want to be a space scientist.

I would like to be a cosmologist and just ponder everyday on a theory of everything.

Yes I want to get paid for doing something I find fun, but original while I do gaming commentaries on the side. I'd like to be able to afford a new computer and a capture card soon.

I'd love to be a male prosttute/stripper.


I'd love to do that, actually. Because it would mean I had the body to do so. :P

Except it would have to be at a gay bar.

Anyway, I'm living my current occupational dream right now, working at GameStop. Naturally that isn't necessarily what I want to do for the rest of my life, but it's quite fun right now, especially for a job while I'm in college.

I don't want a job. I want to be wealthy so I can get by with being a lazy, selfish, bastard.

Mattress tester. Or something to that effect.

Getting into the VG industry would be a close second...

You think you can't portray the Doctor because you're American? David Tennant & Sylvester McCoy are both Scottish and they played the Doctor.



That is different. They are good at faking accents.

I would like to portray the Doctor as well, however, I am simply erratic and eccentric. the Doctor may be those things, but the actors aren't. and considering my manic depression I would be a nightmare to work with.

I never really thought about it as a younger kid, I am still technically a child at 17. But when I was very little my parents instilled the desire to be a dentist for some strange reason. I never really wanted that myself, though, so soon after I had the ability to think for myself I dropped the idea. I had a job at taco bell for a few LONG months. That place is hell to work in, let me tell you. I hear though that it's not as terrible at other fast food places, but it really scared me off, regardless. I am quite anti-social, so I'd like to work alone doing a job that has nothing to do with dealing directly with consumers. I would be content with a monotonous desk job, to be honest. I have no idea what exactly would be my ideal job.
