As a converse of the the RL profession thread, if you could choose to have any job at all, what would you choose to do?
A couple years back I had a breakdown and quit my job and hit the road. During this time I got some work building boats and giving tours on a lake. In retrospect it's the best job I've had, and I'd do that again if money wasn't a concern.

My childhood dream was to become an astronaut. I love space (hey this is a space game ) and exploring it has always sounded tempting.

In the meantime, my dream job would be to research the Sengoku Jidai ('Age of Warring States) of feudal Japan. Then write a good action and intrique-packed history of those samurai warlord badasses.

I'd go with being any kind of artist. Getting paid to write stories or play music, or make movies. Anything like that would be a dream job for sure. The sky is falling ***** let's try to catch it. |

Still not sure. Years ago I wanted to be a writer. Looking at it now I get the impression even exceptionally talented writers struggle to make a living from it, and I'm way behind them in practical terms.
At the moment being a mature student is fulfilling a goal. I'm trying to keep an open mind about opportunities at the end of it. Travelling or working abroad appeals, but my family are getting older and we're close so I'd rather not disappear from their lives for too long.
I suppose having done lots of different jobs it's less about the role itself and more about finding a good employer and people to work with. With all the will in the world, even a dream job can be horrendous if you don't like your colleagues or the company. One thing I won't do is re-enter the corporate world at a level where I have to participate in culling staff as an exercise in 'efficiency'. There's no salary that can compensate for dealing with those stress levels over a number of years, which I should probably have realised after witnessing 3 different people have heart attacks whilst at work. Takes a long time to remove the blinkers when you are very focused though. Something to be said for redundancy - whilst it's an unpleasant experience, for some of us it's the best thing that could have happened. TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |

I always wanted to be a bush pilot. Just look at this sexy airplane.. It'd be bushes and airplanes and canned beer all day long. I'm just going to walk the Earth. You know, like Caine in Kung Fu: walk from place to place, meet people, get into adventures and die of autoerotic asphyxation in a sleazy Thai hotel room. |

Might as well try. My application for the SC forum mod job was denied. No clue why. Something about background check something. Maybe If I got a letter of recommendation from LackOfFaith or Ezwal... man, I couldn't even type that with a straight face.
My only question about Blizzard is.. do I have to play WoW in order to get the job? Because frankly, there are just some things im not willing to do for the sake of internet employment. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Ahh come on. Even the ISD guys admire some good quality trolling. Shouldn't be a problem getting a letter of recommendation from them. In worst case scenario they will make something up to get rid of you. One Man Crew - Collective solo pvp |
