hmm, a job I'm GOOD at?
Let's see.
I've been an auditor (accountant), from which I got fired since I'm no good with numbers,
I've been in graveyard maintenance, which is only a summer job, and the whole 'nobody's alive around you' kinda sucked.
Well, I want to be a judge (studying law right now), but that means I need 4 years to become a Master in law, and then 6 years of training to become one. I think I would actually be a good one. I have been debating as a sport (in the same sense chess is a sport, mind you) for 6 years, so all my opinions have degraded into 'convince me and I'm with you' sort of attitude.

Well, I have my sights set on psychologist, and considering all the hoops I've jumped through and will have to jump through, I'm hoping I make a good one.

Well I direct and enjoy it quite a bit.
I've also worked on sets and done a lot of editing so the entertainment industry is general is my place to be.

Maybe porn, have quite a few gay friends that I have a sneaking suspicion are waiting for me to realize I'm "not that straight". Good money in that.

This one:


In all seriousness, I'm a creative type, so anything that lets me flex my creative muscles is good. Game designer is where I hope to go.

Probably a journalist Im pretty good at some of the criteria involved and its seems like it might be enjoyable.
Though I prefer to be an engineer or maybe programmer.

I think I'd be amazing as a dictator, if that was a job, which I think it is. I'd run the country similarly to how the UK is run now, but lower fuel taxes, tax corporations more and cater to the needs of the people.

I'd be a western, democratic leader - but you ain't gonna' vote me out. Who would want to anyway?

I can prove my awesomeness due to my awesome abilities in Civilisation, Total War and other strategy franchises.

Oh wait... Total War.

Ok, so I'd make a good war-time leader...

Author. Not only would my having to deal with people be at a minimum (I tend to not deal with people well, which is how I lost my last job [hell, I think that's why I lost the last three/four]), and I do like coming up with stories (writing them, not so much. Damn you distractive internet!). Most story ideas seem to come from dreams though, like the one I had last night where [CENSORED BECAUSE PARANOIA THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL STEAL IT].
Oh, be glad you're not currently an author... editors can be right pains in the arse. To be fair, they are good for the writers, 'cos schedules wouldn't exist otherwise... -_-

OT: A few things -

Private tutor - my old man's a private tutor and outside his lessons I keep correcting him...

Ecologist - love bugs, love nature... not too enthused about 'outside' but... eh. And it's fun studying insect systems.

Author - yes, I know after the above, but considering I'm churning out about 10-15 thousand words a week... while at work (a fucking annoying & stressful job, too) and all on the same project, I just need to put some structure and continuity to it.

At this point I would say Computer Repairman, if only because I find it unbelievably fun. There is nothing more fun than fixing someone's computer problems. I know I should find it tedious, but I don't for some reason. It's actually the reason I loved my Senior year of High School, so many computers, so many students that don't know how to use them, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

OT: An Editor/Proofreader, which is why I'm studying to be one. I find the English language fascinating on a whole and I am always finding mistakes everywhere that I have the urge to correct but can't.

I'm actually very good at my current job, which depresses the shit out of me, since I hate it. Turns out working in a supermarket is only as hard as knowing the layout, which I do inside out since I'm usually the one who tidies it. That, and I've essentially been doing the same job in different forms for the better part of 6 years.

I'm doing a programming course at university, so my adventures in retail might end in the not-too-distant future, though I'm beginning to doubt whether I'll be able to stick it through to the end. I have such problems committing 4 years of my life to something which might well end up being entirely irrelevant to what I end up doing with it.

I start at the Police Academy on Monday so I hope and think I'll be a good cop.
But pro football player would be my second alternative.

I've always wanted to be a Producer at a videogame company.
I think I would be pretty good at it. I'm fairly smart, adaptable, likeable, and I have a good capactiy to come up with ideas, and I have great industry knowledge.

I would want to make games by myself, then upsize into a indie studio, but I'm struggling with that really since my networking is poor, (damn you crippling social anxiety!), my attention span is REALLY poor, and I need better skills in.. well... everything apart from coming up with ideas! XD

(I'm supposed to be working on a idea I came up with a few months ago. A simple game where you play as a kid from a tribe that has to go on a sort of right of passage/pilgrimage, using the abilities unique to his tribe: The ability to draw essences from nature and store them in bottles, and then use them and combine them to navigate the dangerous world he has to explore. To eventually obtain a pure essence of light, strong enough to protect and nourish the village till the next pilgrimage. Yeah, kinda open-world journey-esque game. But alas, I did like 1 or two puzzles and a handful of combinations on paper, and then forgot about it until just now. :p)

Is being an alcoholic a job? Because I'd be awesome at that. Certainly better than my current job which is gardening.

Office related job since I'm good on the computer and I don't need to socialize with people that much (yes I know that's bad but that just who I am).
Also a creative just of type like I dunno sketching/ writing down an idea would be ideal for me although I don't think I can keep forcing out an idea so I guess I will have alot of breaks or relaxation to be inspired.
