Your perfect Job?

    Ok, considering that everyone here is involved in endurance sports one way or another and that most of us work 'regular' jobs, I was just wondering what everyones ideal job would be. I find one of the most difficult things about my job is that i'm an energetic person so sitting at a desk and trawling through stats and reports all day can drive me a bit bonkers - i'm not an indoor kind of person!

    For me my perfect job would be travelling around the world getting paid a packet to do races and then review them - would defintely beat sitting at a PC!

    Considering your sport of choice, what would be your perfect job?

    Designing, for a bit, but then heading out all over the world to test the mountain bike. You know, you'd never know if it would work in Whistler, Canada aswell as Australia....:D

    My ideal job would be on the medical staff of a procycling team.

    Job description:
    1:keep the team healthy
    2: optimise performance
    3: don't get caught by UCI/WADA

    The cyclists are just like a machine that you fine tune- get the best programme and you beat the competitors (that being the other teams' medical staff)
