Your ultimate fantasy job

[Simeon Ivanov]

Video Game Shop owner and seller ... that would rule

 

[RoBi3.0]

Some sort of spellcaster preferably Sorcerer since they get all the ladies, but would settle for Wizard if I had to.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

i write down a video game idea, people just make it.

simple as that. i don't have to sell it, i don't have to make a 100 page extremely detailed book and the only input i need to put into the development is occasionally be given the game to play and i just tell them what i think would be cool and they just do it.

no budget limit.
no worrying over publishers or sales figures.

just... pure creation, anything i want.

of course if i REALLY wanted that i'd have to have a kid, give him cancer and tell him to ask that of the "make-a-wish" foundation (which would be horrible)

 

[Durgiun]

Professional porn tester or actor. Either way, I would be busy all night every night.

 

[Carboncrown]

Mythbuster, obviously.

Slightly more realistically, a concept artist for a video game company or the ever-popular writer.

Become an Aussie citizen and be a perpetual student.

Your debt will be absorbed by the government when you die, your student fees can all be attributed to HELP loans, and you get about $200.00 a week to live off. (Which is miserable but doable.)

I hear it's actually pretty hard to get permanent residency in Australia if you don't have wads of cash or want to work in the mining industry.

My dream job would be in scientific research, something where I do a lot of histological work.

OT: I would be the royal physician for the Royal Family of the United Kingdom.

Hmm .. I hope it counts extended family as well. I think Pippa is in need of a full physical, and I'm the doc for the job!

Besides being the Pippa Middleton physician and 'personal' trainer, I'd quite like to be something akin to a 40K Imperial Inquisitor - I'd travel the world, instilling terror and fear in all I met, and ensuring that my particular concepts of right and wrong are adhered to. OR ELSE.

Also, I like to scream "HERESYYYYY!!!" at awkward moments.

 

[MetaKnight19]

If for some inexplicable reason I don't get a job as a minefield librarian, then something along the lines of writing about games. I've sent portfolio's of my previous work off to some publications purely on the off-chance they might get back to me. Even working as a freelance writer would be a step in the right direction.

 

[Murlin]

My dream: get paid to come to the game writer's office every once in a while and add small things to the story like characters, places, events, or back story. This without having to flesh out the entire friggin' thing in a novel.

 

[PorkChopXpress]

Professional wrestler, or to basically switch places with Anthony Bourdain. That man has the life!

 

[nunqual]

Tortoise herder.

I honestly wouldn't know. I was born here and all of the immigrants I know are either Irish, British, asylum seekers, or on student visas.

I suppose that goes to show that pretty much no one else moves here.

I know of (but not personally) a couple yanks that have moved here, as I see you're from the States. Mostly if you have a skill that we need, you can get in, but it's not easy. As you said, mining is a big one. That's where most of the federal budget comes from. (@Aussies: Although not for long with this Carbon Tax, Eh? Eh? Eh? Never mind.)

You could always marry an Aussie. That works. We have hot birds here, but you'll have to fight the locals for 'em. [/misogyny]

But honestly, you need citizenship for HELP (Higher Education Loan Payments, or some such) on your uni fees.

 

[King Toasty]

Megatron. It's a job now, because fuck you.

A shellfish

 

[Twilight_guy]

Ultimate dream Job? I want to own the patent to some invention that is used all the time in daily life (like zippers, Velcro, copper wire, etc.) that will never be replaced due to laziness (like the qwerty keyboard) and maintaining a universal standard. Then I want to receive royalties, put them in the bank and live off the interest for the rest of my days. It's not technically a job, but it's close.

 

[RoBi3.0]

Professional wrestler, or to basically switch places with Anthony Bourdain. That man has the life!

Anthony Bourdain is the shit. If he could find away to bottle and distribute his awesome, I would fucking buy it in a heart beat.

 

[Palademon]

I wanna be like Batman, but without the crime fighting.

So, being a furry.
...How does that pay?
Unless...you mean just being Bruce Wayne...as a furry.

Me, I want to be king of the female vampire ninjas.
And yes, that does pay, when I use them to take over the world, I won't need money.

1) Professional wrestler: I'd just love to do this for a living, to the point where I regularly just imagine doing it. But it requires skills and abilities that I just don't have. I mean, I'm already 20 years old and have had no training, I'm weak as hell and massively out of shape, particularly in the cardio department. Plus I'm a clumsy ***** and in the pro wrestling world, that shit can get someone seriously injured or worse. Plus I'm British and pro wrestling as I know it is a VERY American industry (I know there's wrestling promotions all over the world but the big league is WWE, which is American).

Not wrestling, That is acting. Yes it hurts but that is acting and required MUCH MUCH less skill than real wrestling because you (the Wrestlers) know who is going to win beforehand. And if you have no training...im assuming you mean no wrestling traning..first...GOD NO, I love the sport like no other and Could wrestle for weeks. But the strain that it puts on you would kill you. Things like that are only for people who breath the sport and the pain is nothing.

Simply knowing the outcome doesn't suddenly make it less skillful, considering they still have to string shit together to make an interesting match for a good stretch of time. Still takes a shitload of effort, which explains why so many of them end up injured as a result. Shit's still tough as all hell.

And yeah, the whole "strain it puts on you would kill you" thing is why I'm putting it in a list of "fantasy jobs" cause I know I'd never be able to even attempt it in a million years.
