If you could pick from a list of 5 jobs which are he ones you would most like to have? My list would be: 1 Creator of a "Star Trek" show. I mean any tv show would be cool but especially a Trek one. 2 Big time Hollywood director. 3 Major League Baseball starting pitcher. 4 God 5 Trophy husband for the actress who plays Supergirl but if not her I got a very extensive list. Jason
Producer/writer/epic metal/prog guy like Arjen Lucassen being able to work with the absolute best musicians that ever walked the earth and be the creator of a project as awesome as Ayreon. Restorer and collector of legendary vintage analog synthesisers Member of a metal band (which is not possible for me due to various reasons the main one being that I don't have any talent whatsoever) Inventor of stuff that matters, like stuff that combats climate change, improves the lives of everyone. Saints Row III / 4 Boss
Hasn't stopped some. Scriptwriter for a big Hollywood franchise cf PotC, Trek, SW. Nearly there, at least in terms of scripts. Novelist. Again, many ideas to get down on paper. Musician for a classic rock/prog type band like Deep Purple or Led Zep. World traveller, just a guy with enough money to never have to go home. Male companion for a female billionaire (come on, we're all thinking it).
These are actually fairly grounded for dream jobs , but I think I'd really like doing them. In no particular order: Sign Language interpreter -- think of all the cool lectures and things you could attend! Other translator -- read books all day? Sure! Director of photography -- I imagine I'd be fairly good, and it's as involved in TV/filmmaking as I'd ant to be Costume designer -- same reasoning as above Park Ranger in a forest
No specifics, just general stuff Paid to travel Paid to review restaurants Architect Event coordinator
You're a braver soul than I. A couple of jobs ago, I was tasked with organizing my company's first-ever marketing summit (for clients and prospects alike). So I had to wrangle resources from three offices (Atlanta HQ, Seattle, my office in Baltimore) for a two-day event being held at Georgia Tech, line up the agenda and speakers (which was really fun when the CEO changed the company's brand and mission a month before the event, meaning everything had to get blown up and redone), get all the banners printed and shipped, deal with everyone at the hotel, line up the welcoming reception and the closing party, do all the pre-show marketing, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera ... never again.
Truthfully, I love the ways in which I make a living. Yeah, sometimes the money could be better, and we all have bad days, but, I cant think of anything I'd rather do.
Movie Critic Columnist Mystery-reviewer who gives quality-control reviews of all the hotel rooms and amusement park rides at Disney theme parks. Owner/operator of an animal sanctuary, covering several thousand acres and housing all types of animals. Shamefully-wealthy philanthropist
I've never done something that large of a scale, but I have coordinated multiple small events (less than 1,000 people) and I enjoyed being in the thick of it - and the payoff of getting it right. But it is a wild ride.
Movie/tv/music/book reviewer (I'd get to choose what I review though). Professional cuddler of cute animals. Professional dessert taster.
THIS. I want this job. I am already an expert-level amateur in this field. I hope to go semi-pro someday.
One of the volunteer jobs I did several years ago was a "cat cuddler." (that really was the job title) This was at a no-kill shelter for special-needs cats (medical & behavioral issues, sudden death of their human and nobody to adopt them or give a damn what happened to them, elderly, cats needing a home due to their humans being evicted, etc.). The idea was to get the adoptable cats as human-socialized as possible, so my duties consisted of cuddling them and playing with them. There were a couple I'd have adopted in a minute if I'd had the money and still lived in a house. Two males, one an orange tabby named Creamsicle, and a tuxedo named Jasper; they were best buddies and to this day I hope they found forever homes. I'm just sorry it couldn't have been with me. I already had Chloe and Maddy and my lease didn't allow for more than 2 cats.
My top 5 jobs are: Traveling and eating while traveling and being paid to eat and travel. Artist, highly acclaimed, the darling of the cutting of the edge of the art world(s) Poster on forums, wherein I get 500 dollars for every post I post. [ AND HEY IF I AM PAID RETROACTIVELY FOR ALL MY WORK I WILL GET $21,745,500 !!] Cat owner. Advisor to Blizzard, please note they will do everything I suggest as well as paying me big bucks
That sounds so lovely. I wish I had the resources to adopt more cats. I wanted so badly to help a special needs or older cat when I went to adopt mine. Being the height of kitten season the shelter was wall-to-wall with kittens. I ended up getting the oldest cat in there, a 2 year old, with some behavior issues. I'd love to run a cat sanctuary, along the lines of @auntiehill 's animal sanctuary.
