    So most people work away doing whatever it is we do. Some people are lucky enough to be 'living the dream' by getting paid for their dream job. To all those people, i hate you:pac:. Anyway, to everyone else. If money wasn't a factor what would you do for a job to keep you entertained?

    Myself i'd open a small cafe with a music venue upstairs and have good underground bands that i've personally vetted. Maybe have a musical instrument store with high quality, rare equipment. For all of these the attention to detail and feeling of quality would be the most important thing.

    What would you do? Farmer? Street busker? lawyer? Hooker?

    I'd love to have my very own little café/abortion clinic. The finest coffee the world has to offer coupled with a first-class pregnancy termination service.

    I really don't think its a good idea for pregnant women to drink.

    Become a politician


    (A good one)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,044 ✭✭✭Wossack


    I'd be a food critic

    using a simple thumbs up/thumbs down and 'meh' system. Means I wouldnt actually have to do any real work. Maybe later on branching out to other fields... like cinema critic, high court judge, or gynecologist


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 60 ✭✭Burnt Toast


    Professional footballer, f1 driver, helicopter pilot.

    Might give the last one a go, if i can save up some money.

    Maybe a helper monkey like Mojo?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,220 ✭✭✭✭Loopy


    I would open a really classy Nightclub in town and I would stand at the door the first few nites (Im sure Id get pretty bored of it) and get great pleasure in saying 'Sorry not Tonight' to any Irish celebs I dislike..

    Monkeys can be limo drivers but butlers - that's just silly.

    I'd open a pub that's a proper public house and not totally geared to selling drink. There would also be a hostel attached to ensure a steady stream of foreign birds.

    I like the idea of racing cars, anything from rally cars to F1 but I reckon there's a **** load of work involved in them jobs. My attention span wouldn't hold long enough to be any good at it.

    these threads are regular now! ;)

    Film maker for me

    Failing that...

    Well, I suppose I could, uh, work in a shop of some kind, or... or do, uh, freelance, uh, selling of some sort of, uh, product. You know...
    A salesman, like maybe in a, uh, haberdasher, or maybe like a, uh, um... a chapeau shop or something. You know, like, "Would you... what size do you wear, sir?" And then you answer me.
    "I think we have that." See, something like that I could do.
    "No; we're all out. Do you wear black?" See, that sort of thing I think I could probably... muster up.

    Navy Pilot sounds deadly but I'd settle for just commercial pilot. Failing that I'd be a chocolate taster in Cadburys

    a job as one of the guys that hold up the signs on grafton street. oh how i envy them.

    Kinda already doing it, just not in the right area. Sports journalist FTW

    Don't laugh man, I do that in Temple Bar. It pays the bills, and I would rather do that than sit in an office for eight or nine hours a day.

    My other job is running pub-crawls for backpackers, so I literally get paid to go on the p!ss with tourists. Not a bad way to make a few quid.

    All in all, it's pretty decent. I don't get out of bed before noon and I make enough to keep myself going, pretty much all I need really.

    But if money wasn't an option and I could do whatever I wanted, I'd open a comedy club and pay through the nose to have performers I love play at it every week, I'd be happy with that!

    Okay - we get the joke already: your avatar is a monkey, your sig has a monkey, your username has monkey in it, and in all your KYN photos you're holding a monkey or referencing a monkey (to imply you live it 24/7) - and your dream job is to be a monkey - we get the joke, so short of screaming "look at me, I'm hilarious & kooky" you can rest assured we all get your joke now.

    Damn students...
