If you could have any job what would it be?

there are more than a few jobs i'd love to have. these would have to be the top two:

1. national geographic cameraman.
this i'd like to do for the experience. i'm sure the hours are hell, but can you think of a better way to see the world? i can't.

2. master chef.
this i'd like to do because i want the skills that come with it. oh, to be able to craft meals like you can get at charlie trotter's.
 
The guy who cures cancer, AIDS, other diseases and creates a super antibiotic.

And yes, I did think of Porn Star... but if I cure cancer, can you imagine all the action I'd get? plus I'd be rich and I'd have done an incredible thing for society.

in my small town of 1900 residents, one girl i graduated from high school with actually became a reasonably successful porn star...and she was one of the smarter kids in class and she skipped a grade

strange life we live in

daisy chain is her name if anyone is curious...i won't state her real name since i don't think she would like that

that award went to the head of the united nations i think from either time or newsweek

but we have 94 years to go and then we can pick a man or woman of the 21st century

Your logic is impeccable.
Please teach me your ways, oh great mgargan1.

:p

that doesn't really fit for an economist:
"Can you imagine all the action I'd get if I came up with a new economic school of thought and won the Nobel prize for it? I'd be fending them off with my really cool medal!"
:(
Stupid economics. It's so un-sexy.
*sniff, sniff*

I thought that that was what you were for. :confused: Aren't you to add the 'sex appeal' to economics?

:rolleyes:

we all know the hottest economist is one Mr. Timothy Geithner!
He has taken the position of president of the NY FRB, and my heart!! :D:D

Ok, ok, when I give the quarterly earnings report, I'll do it in stilettos and a low-cut dress.
I think it'll make the stock plummet when I trip and fall down and break my ankle because of the heels.

Are you kidding me? You'll need all your wits to fend off the graduate students who'll regard you with an unhealthy mixture of awe and desire.

Seriously. The way graduate students throw themselves at their professors ...

at least the chances of a full fledged graduate student being a minor is pretty remote so it's probably safer for the professor

whether it's dr.kinsey or the music professor i knew, profs do date and marry their students sometimes

i knew this iranian professor who taugh freshman at the local college and he desired many a female student (he was only 22 himself) and i told him in this country, even though he saw such things elsewhere, some of his students were "17" and that is very looked down upon in the united states

the college does not have a law about what a professor and a student do on their own time outside of class, like K-12 does, but college freshmen could easily be under 18 and that changes all the rules
 
My dream job is pretty much what I do now but I would like better pay, people NOT shooting at me, trying to take away evidence, taint evidence, crying over the site I am trying to excavate, and then yelling at me when I do/don't identify the remains...

Other than that I wanted to be a Forensic Pathiologist but BSc + med school + 5 year residency in path + 1.5 years residency in forensic path = me being to old to work by the time I am done...

I like dead people...:p
 
Astronaut.

With more advanced space ships than the primitive crap we have today. No, they don't need to be warp-drive enabled! Just get from planet to planet in this solar system *quickly* ( say, days to reach Pluto ).
 
Dream Job: event organizer for a large scale convention center

sounds strange- but it's what i'm good @.

dream job for now (& much more realistic) -- HS Administrator
(i'm basically a HS teacher now - so this isn't 2 far off)

I'm surprised the thread made it as far as it did without this coming up. :p

I guess I'd go with closer for the Red Sox. Or maybe a successful professional novelist.

Thanks for the compliments, but if you think about it... I'd get all the really intellectual girls who like me for my mind. Then I'd get all the gold-diggers (not saying that's what I'm after), but because I'd be extremely wealthy, all those girls would be flocking to me.

But again, to me a mind is more valuable than a pretty face, cause lets face it, when we're all old everything sags anyway.
 
Drifter.

Lay about.

Exaggerator Extraordinaire.

Prestidigitator of Preposterous Proportions.

Seeing any of those titles on a business card would do my heart some good. I have been inventing lately- perhaps that will take off....
 
Hmm... I would say, number 1 choice, Rock Star. Everything music. Besides that I would say Urban Planner, and Architect, with unlimited funds and resources. Another would be Anime/Cartoon/Comic Artist, and lastly I would say, something to do with videogames, like the OP said.

Oh, and Official Panty Inspector XD
