I say, tomorrow because the point is you got to basically have to start doing this job without the benefit of any training or practice or anything. It's being tossed right into the job, instantly. As for the jobs I listed in the poll I broke it down to where I could do less damage in terms of what I would be best at.

1 Male Stripper: Can't do much damage here other than unhornifiy any woman or gay men who might come to the show to watch and I can guarntee that would happen. I don't think Canning Tatum could do enough dancing and pelvic trusts to distract the audience from me. The world isn't ready for overweight, nerdy 42 year old strippers. That doesn't happen until World War III when all the more healthy men are off fighting the war and the clubs can't be picky on who they hire.

2 Crane Operator in "War of the Worlds". I could do some real damage here so this is one job I could not handle. My take on it is I would try and do this job by randomly pushing buttons and pulling on levers. Someone would most likely get hurt or die with me in this job. Granted my damage would no doubt go unnoticed when the aliens start killing and destroying people. Dead me or other dead people would be written off as alien victims and the crane would most likely be destroyed so no luck ever finding any evidence that contradicts that. That of course wouldn't be a good thing.

3 Flame-guitar person in Fury Road" I most likely would just catch myself on fire with my own guitar and even if that wasn't the case I wouldn'tant to work for my employer because he was a really awful human being. People would get hurt.

4 Singer for the Bells in "Piitch Perfect." This I couldn't do much damage. Granted I can't sing but in junior high school I was once part of concert because of my music class and I did just fine by mouthing the words. Nobody noticed I wasn't singing. Granted the audience might wonder what a 42 year old man is doing singing with a bunch of college aged girls but I guess it would be written off as a curiousity. Also with my luck my performance would be one such as when one of the lead girls vomited or Fat Amy had a unfortunate wardrobe malfunction due to a ill-planned stage gimmick. That means the heart would be off of me, completely.

5 American President after "War of the Worlds." I could do lots of damage. I wouldn't even know where to start. For starters I would be back in 1996 so I wouldn't have access to modern tech or people who know much about governing or tech to rebuild. Plus that 1996 seemed to be in a worst place than even our 1996 because all the cars and tech we see is dated even by 1996 standards so that world must have been dealing with some kind of major reccession or who knows what. I wouldn't even know who to hire. Me entire staff would be Portman,Donut kid,Tom Jones,JIm Brown and Annette Bening and I guess I would have to put Jim Brown's kids in charge or whatever is left of the armed services.

With those choices I would go with "PItch Perfect" singer. I think that would be the best choice of those listed.

Jayson, I don't expect you to proofread your posts (or use spellcheck, apparently) but could you please at least proofread the titles of your threads for spelling errors? I usually end up editing almost all of your titles for spelling. If you're in such a rush to post a thread that you can't even make sure the title is spelled correctly, maybe you're posting too many threads. I wouldn't care if it was once or twice, but all the time looks bad.
 
American Prez, of course. If nothing else, he's proven that absolutely anyone can do it.
 
I wouldn't want the President job, though. President Nicolson was killed off.

Personally, I think the rest are all awful jobs.
 
...why? What are you planning?

Nothing. It's fun though to think how well one is at being able to adapt to a quick and unexpected change and basically wing it and what kind of job people feel they could have the most success or at least the one they would least screw up the most.

How about movie hacker?! I could totally hit random keys while doing a fast-paced techno-babble narration of what I'm (apparently) doing on the computer.
 
American president. Given the utter idiot/buffon/sociopath you guys just elected, it seems the job requirements are extremely low.

Plus, I don't meet the qualifications for any of the other jobs listed.

Ah, I was thrown by the number of 'apocalypse' job options. Should you be planning an apocalypse, by all means let me know...happy to help!

Plus of course when things go wrong it's all the fault of your advisors etc.. But when things go right it's because of your inspired leadership.
