Your ULTIMATE Dream Job

[lewis82]

Being paid to study would be awesome. After my computer engineering degree, I'd probably study German. And after that, philosophy. It would be awesome.

That or hosting a travel show. Being paid to visit the world would be a real dream job.

 

[tktaylor1]

Owner of a professional sports team, without the whole decision making part.

 

[obeygiant]

something Michael Bay is doing....

What I'm doing now 🙂. It's right up my street.

1 day a week in a studio to work on one project, rest of my time goes on experimental projects (funded) and research, full and generous wage plus royalties and bonuses. Get to travel around a few times a year attending award shows and conventions wherever they're located. Surrounded by creative people and knowing things the public doesn't, and I get to work with my girlfriend and old school friends, and occasionally meeting+working with actors and top musicians.

If I'm still doing this in 40 years time I'll be happy and probably very bored.

Or this!

You create games Dagless, yes?

Is it a large or independent developer?

----------

Getting paid a lot of money....


...For Doing Nothing.

If it's not already, this has même written all over it.

 

[iStudentUK]

I'd love to do endless degrees and DPhils, mostly in science subjects.

Somewhere between the two. But I used to be independent a couple of years back.

 

[anubis]

I'm surprised nobody's said it yet: Working at Apple Corporate on hardware development.

I've applied to three job postings that I'm about 98% qualified for. Never even got a call 🙁

Was your CV more than a page long?

I think the only applications Apple accepts are ones with a single centrally-aligned, embossed line of text, typed in helvetica neue, that says:

"I'm your man"

I'd love to do this!

 

[Schtumple]

As long as I was doing something creative, I don't mind what it is. In April I will get a brief chance at this in California, like dipping your toes in a pool 😛

 

[notblackmac]

A tour guide that gets paid a ton of money-
I would like the talking and meeting strangers part, and if it was my dream job I'd be doing something like African safari tours or leading people through the sand dunes on sand buggies.


Another dream job of mine would be a philosopher. Travel the world and hear peoples views on subjects (and get paid to do it).

Considering I'm still young I still have a chance to make these a reality 🙂

 

[heehee]

Formula 1 driver. Getting paid lots and surrounded by hot girls. 😛

[Rondofan9]

The owner of Aqualab Technologies.

It's a glass company, they sell waterpipes/bubblers (legally) that are anywhere from $300-10,000. Selling to rich reefer smokers 😉 because in 19 states its legal if you have a card. Knowing that I'm not a pharmacist. I'm not selling pills that tear the **** out of peoples liver, bladder, brain, etc. Advising people to smoke weed and stay away from addicting tobacco products. Building made of glass, with glass display.

Ahhhhh, that'd be the life. Don't hate - weeds never killed anyone. You know someone who buys, sells, or uses tobacco? pills? alcohol? that's bad. Weed has never killed<3

 

[Iscariot]

Weed has never killed<3

Weed shot my mom 🙁

 

[samiwas]

Hopefully, I'm starting that job next month.

I've been dabbling in 3D modeling and animation for over 10 years now as a hobby, with a desire towards doing some sort of pre-visualization work. The perfect combination would be combining that with my current entertainment lighting career (exhibitions, concerts, theater).

A few weeks ago, I got a phone call from an old work colleague asking me about this sort of thing because he wanted to start doing that at his company. I told him I'd drop by and show him some of the stuff I've done and what you can do with it. I was going solely to just give him some ideas. I left with his asking when I could start.

So now I'm building my dream computer system so that I can start doing that work. If it all works out, I will be living in perfection, minus the 45-minute commute (for some reason, they are shying away from me working at home). The downside is that I'm not sure I see the job lasting, so luckily they are letting me keep some of my prior commitments for the near future.

 

[TheOnlyJon]

Pixar.

 

[Fazzy]

Id love to be valentino balboni, the guy who test drives every lamborghni built.😀

Maybe not directly, but getting the munchies increases the risk of obesity 😛

 

[Rondofan9]

Maybe not directly, but getting the munchies increases the risk of obesity 😛

Or helping people with lack of appetite, aka decreasing anorexia 😉

Speaking of eating, a bigmac made from all that processed factory made **** is more unhealthy than that green plant we like to call lovely mary jane.

I couldn't think of anything more boring than doing nothing.

As for myself, I've always thought it'd be pretty awesome to be a storm chaser.

Exactly right, I'm on annual leave at the moment and I'm bored. I prefer to be at work.

samiwas: That sounds like a recipe for tears. I've been involved in 3D stuff before and it's a lot of work for not much benefit. It was fun for a while - but long hours and crazy deadlines soon made me lose my interest in it. I used to be an ace with 3DS Max.

I actually want to do video editing or graphic design for companies. 😛

Doing nothing would get really boring.

I actually do video editing, it's quite nice - makes the day go fast. Unfortunately I also do a lot of administrative stuff too, but that's pretty normal, people higher up always like nice statistics they can report on.

 

[Tsuchiya]

This is what I'm trying to figure out at the moment 😱

So far, I've got the following criteria:

-Something creative. But not necessarily limited to one thing (e.g. I don't want to just draw, I want to be able to explore whatever ideas I have)

-Something with a level of freedom. I don't mind doing projects for companies, but I want to be...freelance I guess would be the word. I would want to work with others as well, I don't do well isolated.

-I want to be somewhere hot, so I can get away with wearing shorts to work 😛

-Relatively good income. I don't necessarily desire wealth, but I want to be comfortable enough to just not have to worry about the mortgage. In fact, I don't even want a mortgage.

-Flexible; going back to the second point. I want to be able to wake up one morning, and on a whim decide to take off to another country for a few months where I can just bum about on a beach or something.

Right now, I'm thinking film director, which would be awesome. I just need to see if Peter Jackson would mind me taking over his life for a while 😛

*goes back to studying for my January economics paper🙁*


tl;dr: film director 🙂

 

[sk1wbw]

I want to be that guy with the paint brush that swipes sand off of the bikini models rear ends during photo shoots.
