CONFESS!!!! If Salary was NOT an issue - what job would you want

[LynneSin]

Me? I'd want to work in either a used bookstore or used record shop since the two things I love the most are reading books and listening to great music. Of course in my store all the Ann Coulter and Toby Keith would be found in the bins next to the dumpster out back!

[Burma Jones]

1. Courier

I was a courier (car and Bike) for about a year, I had a blast.

[REDKING]

2. Radio dj...i'd be happy with that.

4. I want to take care of giraffes in a zoo.

I love giraffes. I would love to be the giraffe keeper at a zoo.

[BlueIris]

5. I'd want to work in development at Universal.

Help get some decent stuff in theaters again.

[Fleshdancer]

6. I think delivering flowers would be fun

The van would smell incredible all the time and people would smile the moment they see me walking their way. :)

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

42. This use to be my job

I did this kind of work for 2 years, you don't have a boss breathing down your neck for 8 hours a day like a regular job because your out in a van driving around. You rarely meet anyone who is negative towards you and it's not the same pattern every single day that becomes boring. If your a single guy you really meet a lot of single woman doing a job like this, it's like the flowers just attract them to you. The plus for me was the owners of the shop I worked for treat their employees like family, so when I was around a boss I wasn't ever treated like I was below them like, a lot of business owners due to their employees. The only down fall of the job was delivering in a busy area of town like during morning or afternoon rush hour and having to deal with the usual bad drivers.

7. Actually, I

love what I do, so apparently money is not the issue. That said, if I wouldn't be working here, I'd like to work in a museum, and most likely doing the same thing that I'm doing here!

[Fredda Weinberg]

8. I love what I do and where I'm doin' it e/m

[progressoid]

[MissMillie]

without a doubt

[ThomCat]

36. Absolutely

[tjwmason]

11. I think that I might join you.

I think my ideal would probably be a mixture of new and old-books plus wonderfully gorgeous music.

Either that or organic small-holding.

[leeroysphitz]

12. Video Store clerk... why not?

[elehhhhna]

13. Buhzillionaire philanthropist, handsdown.

[xmas74]

15. Growing up I wanted to be an astronomer.

I didn't realize the level of math involved!

[LynneSin]

17. ME TOO

I was good at math but not calculus

[xmas74]

19. I had a tutor for calc.

One of my college drinking buddies was a math major. We had an even exchange-he'd help me w/ calc and physics, I'd help him w/ our history class(early nineties-a class called "From Communism to Socialism in the Eastern Bloc") and poli sci.

It was a great exchange-we both got A's in our respective classes. It just sucked that I had to have the calculus to even get into an astronomy class!

[LynneSin]

21. I ended up with a biology major

although originally I was biochemistry but that required 3 semesters of calculus.

Ironically my SAT scores and all my math tests I scored extremely well, but as soon as I got near calculus I just sucked.

[xmas74]

22. My ACTs were very high in

English/comp/reading comprehension(I've forgotten what they actually called the subsections-it's been too many years).

I was a history major w/ a minor in economics. It never did me any good since I'm working in dead-end jobs now!

I should have picked another field. Nursing would have been nice.

[Blue-Jay]

18. Ditto on the used bookstore.

If I ever fall into a big pile of money, I'll open one of my own.

Yep mattress tester. Also, recliner tester, hammock tester, pajama expert, pillow profiler and marathon napper.

[Wcross]

25. I would like to run a no kill animal shelter.

If money was no object I would try to save as many unwanted/abused animals as I could.

[Atmashine]

[Taverner]

31. Cashier at a record store in the heady days of vinyl

Ahhhhh....how I loves me vinyl....

[Patiod]

32. Something at hospice - either mktg it to docs, or visiting patients

Can't even volunteer anymore because I travel too much for work.

There is NOTHING that puts traffic, chores, and the other frustrations of daily life into perspective like visiting with a hospice patient. Of course, it's the hospice nurses and home health aides who make a real difference -- some of the best human beings I've met.

[TheBaldyMan]

48. I have wanted to be a Professor at the University of the West Indies

for as long as I knew there was a University of the W.I. The Department of Mathematics is based in Trinidad & Tobago. First I'd have to get a PhD in Mathematical Sciences but I think it would be worth it in the long run.

[GalleryGod]

49. Go back to Cape Cod Community College

for a Summer Semester on the Cape!

[ZombieNixon]

50. Author...definately.

I'd also have a squad of hit men to force people to read my books and tormet critics who gave me bad reviews. :evilgrin:

[Squeech]

51. Bassist in a rock band

Which is what I do in my non-working hours. (BTW, none of you came to our gig on Saturday, which may have been our best gig ever.)

Or editor of a rock zine, which is what I did when I didn't have a legitimate day job. I'd still do that if it paid (especially if it paid the publisher, who shelved it after five years because it was chronically *losing* money).

Some day I'll write a book, and nobody will buy it. (Probably nobody will publish it.)
