What would you love to do for a living? I know of a fellow who was in the armed forces and now works as a personal body guard for some rich dude. He travels the world on a yacht keeping his employer safe from harm.

Personally, I would love to be a National Geographic photographer travelling around the globe to exotic locals taking pics and taking in different cultures, etc.

What would your dream job be?

My dream job is actually my ambition. I hope to someday be a lawyer, but furthermore be involved in hockey. Maybe as a player agent, or follow in the footsteps of Brian Burke. Thats my dream anyway.

Is it dream job that I have the talent for or dream job that I somehow magically acquired the talent.

Dream job I wish I had the talent for was a comic book artist but I can't draw anything except maybe a bath. :laughing:

Dream job I could do and I'm currently pursuing is a job with the District of Salmon Arm. I have the skills they require but it's who you know to get a job with them. It would be good pay, health plan, retirement plan. I'd be set.

Of course I could always fulfill my ultimate dream job, ladies' man. :D

Is winning the lottery a job? ;)

I think I'd love playing hockey in Europe professionally for a few years, if it was possible.. but I wouldn't want to do it for too long, too much to leave behind.

My dream job?

Hmmm I would love to go back to overhauling jet engines! Or I would love to be posted to AETE a test squardon here in Cold Lake.

Or I would love to tour North America with my wife at my side and Cujo in the back seat of the truck!

My dream job is one that is enough to live comfortably, but not too rich. One that allows me to see my family every day, while being able to go places with them, whether it's flying somewhere or simply camping. Also something which gives me some flexibility to make my own schedule. I guess it's very close to what I'm doing now! :nod:

I'd love to have a job where I can sit on my butt all day and talk to strangers on the net... other than that, Heff's job looks pretty cool.

Holy crap! No wonder I had trouble getting bleach.
There is a world shortage for some reason.

Did you ever see the show Zaboomafoo ?
That to me, is the perfect job.

Travelling, Educating, Having a good time.
Those bothers are probably well-paid also.

Yeah, those "brothers". You ever see the episode where they sing that song 'We're coming out of the closet'? - no kidding.

Personally, I would love to be a National Geographic photographer travelling around the globe to exotic locals taking pics and taking in different cultures, etc.I saw a DVD a while back called "The Photographers" and it basically followed around those who shot pictures for the pages of National Geographic. Judging by that DVD, it would definitely be a dream job.

My dream job would be in sports broadcasting. Preferably on the radio. I know that it's a probably oversubscribed dream, but it would be great. On the air for about three to fives hours a day talking about sports and traveling around the world covering them.

Actually JR... I think you were born to be a sports writer or broadcaster. :thumb:

:rollover2Funny you should say that, because this past week on 60 Minutes Wednesday, their version of Andy Rooney, Steve Hartman did his segment on his appearance, more specifically his hair.As a television reporter, I?ve always had great hair for radio. For TV, it?s just too unruly.It was really a funny segment. He went all over New York City spending hundreds of dollars going to hair dressers and stylists trying to get his hair to look more like it actually belongs on television.

You can read about the whole thing and see video clips (no pun intented) here (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/04/18/hartman/main688908.shtml).

I used to write alot when I was younger. All the time. My teacher actually allowed me to use them as credit.

But, these days its harder...as a writer you need the exact location to be perfect..or else writers block occurs.
