What would be your dream job?

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?

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.

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 · 23-07-2013 01:59PM

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.

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...

Being a hot air balloon pilot would be mine.

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.

What would be your dream job?
