What would be your dream job?

Sgt Hartman

What would be the job in which you believe you would be at your happiest?
For me it would be having a market stall where I'd sell my own sweet and savoury recipes. It's something I plan on working on so that I can be finally be free of medical lab science and the stress/bureaucracy that comes with it.

If you could quit your current job and do something you would love doing what would it be?

FatherLen

Anything that i enjoy doing, that is stimulating and pays enough to keep me going.


or one of those people that get paid to watch/play/eat my favourite films/games/food.

danniemcq

Run an internet cafe but base it more around gaming than internet.

Linux boxes up front for internets and out back 16-25 PCs seperated into sections for cloan gaming (perhaps even have some lockable wheels to move walls and partitions around)

I have full plans and ideas if anyone wants to invest in me!

jimgoose

By day, I want to do Jeremy Clarkson's job, and in the evenings A.A. Gill's. Valhalla!! :cool:

You should look at the drunken moogle as well as Korean lan centres. The drunken moogle for gaming bars in American and Canada that allow people come in have a few drinks including video game themed cocktails while playing anything from classic games like mario cart to the latest FPS. I think something like that would be great and could work very well in Dublin.

You could have corporate/party packages, where groups book out a boot/room/corner with specific consoles, get food and drink offers. Competition evenings ... video game launch parties.

The Korean lan gaming centres are amazing as well.

But I am sure if you have full plans, you have considered these things already.

Sleepy

Top Gear Presenter / Author - I'll quite happily play James May to jimgoose's Clarkson (hell, I even have my "Get Excited and Make Things" t-shirt on today!).

More realistically, I'd love to run a coffee-shop/wine-bar out of a premises in Galway I've always felt is a gold-mine if one was run properly...

A vet! Have wanted to be one since I was around 10. It's horrible when your dream job requires insane points in the leaving cert you knew you'd never get though, and fell short by only a few in the end

Finishing up my undergraduate degree in Science now...applying for post grad veterinary medicine.....I will be a vet........hopefully

Application development is thankless, painful tilting-at-windmills. On a good day. I got out of that and into systems/infrastructure stuff decades ago, and now I amuse myself by torturing both managers and application developers alike. I'm going to Hell, aren't I?!?

I will admit i had never heard of the US one but the Korean one is one that i like,

I have a few ideas that would help make it unique and user friendly too but alas with 30 euro in savings its some way away

My friend always wanted to be a vet, but was nowhere near the points. She's dyslexic and had trouble with some subjects in school. She did vet nursing instead and now, a few years after graduating, has been accepted to do veterinary science abroad! Wahey! Can be done.

oldyouth

Head of my own private charity, anonymously picking out good causes and helping them out. It would be a real buzz

minidazzler

Whenever I reach my goals the posts move.... Ultimately to own a few popular and decent bars around the world. But working a bar makes me happier than anything else I've worked as.

dr gonzo

Since I was 7 I've wanted to be an archaeologist but points got the better of me, as I was an exceptionally lazy student in school. Went back at 24, did my degree, currently completely my masters thesis (fingers crossed), and have various plans for what comes next. I know I'll never make any money but I think I have some adventures ahead of me.

Besides wishing I had knuckled down in school a bit more I've never, for a second, regretted any choices I've made since, because for better or worse they have gotten me here.
