Default Dream Job ...

Like most of the people in the working world, I'm not too thrilled about my job. Sure, it has its up's and down's. Recently it has been more down than anything else. I see things that most people never hope to almost on a weekly time table. As a firefighter/EMT you're away from your family and loved ones more than normal. You're put into exciting, dangerous, and adrenal pumping scenarios. And I'm thinking that I may be getting burnt out (no pun intended).

So I got to thinking if could be anything in the world, anything at all, what would be my dream job?

I honestly can't think of anything else I would do.

Jebus, I need a vacation.

I'd be a porn director, or a skate board maker, or a fireman, or a bikini judge, or a pilot, or a philanthropist, or an accountant, or an anchorman, or a graphic designer, or live on welfare, or run a surf school, or be president, or be super awesome at everything at all times in every way, or other stuff.

If I could break even playing/making music for a living, I'd be one happy camper.




Failing that, I would just like a large sum of money dropped into my lap so I could subsist on doing whatever the hell I wanted. Professional trust fund kid maybe?

That's weird that you posted that, because I just wrote a paper on that for my Business class.

But I picked "Professional Music Listener."

Trust Fund Kid would be nice ...

Beer Taste Tester .... that would rank up there ... even though I would have to take a cab home every day after work. HA! Save money on food cause you're stuffed off beer. Would really need alot of spare livers lying around to transplant every so often.

You think the insurance company would pay triple cause you got cirrhosis of the liver on the job? I doubt it.

being a pornstar would kinda suck after a while though because i heard after a while of working many of the guys have to start injecting stuff into their ding dongs to perform. It'd be cool for like a month of banging hella hot chicks but then it would start to suck after that. And you wouldn't get paid very much at all unless you're doing gay scenes. Then you make hella money.

I'd be a stripper or a geologist. Or a writer. Orr maybe just be another trust fund-er so I could just do whatever I felt like all day.
