What would be your dream occupation if the opportunity and resources were available to you to obtain it? By resources, I mean if you were given enough time flexibility, you didn't need to worry about financial obligations, and you had the right network of people that gave you this dream job. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

Don't we all want to be God, to some extent? Seriously though, I mean an actual job you could have on Earth and not of a super-natural realm that can't be scientifically proven.

What would you have left to motivate you if you had plenty of money? 1. I would want to be a sponsor for drug development regardless of shareholder value. TB, HIV/AIDS etc. 2. I would want to BUY the real estate in Palestine form both parties who claim it for themselves. 3. I would want to establish cenralised final exams and pay out bonusses for teachers and students according to their success.

Professional soccer player. Or even better, professional video game player. Actually, I want to be a musician. And that seems to be coming true...

I would buy an entire floor in luxury hotels in perpetuity in Paris, London, Tokyo, San Francisco, Rio De Janeiro and New York. Have them decorated lavishly with art and antiques. Have a permanent staff assigned to each hotel of maid, butler and cook. These would be on a high permanent annual salary, be bonded with a privacy agreement, and would rarely see me because I would be travelling much of the time, relaxing, attending to my investments, or doing charity work. Then I would travel the world at a whim seeing anything I wished. I would not work again for the rest of my life, except for establishing a multi-billion dollar charitable trust to solve the worlds problems. I would also invest some of the money in a fund to buy interest in promising new medical and alternative energy companies. I would buy a modest home for each of my relatives and set up trust funds for their children of several milliion dollars. :rolleyes: Hah, It is just a joke, I rather like what I do already. I would probably continue doing what I already do, even if I had more money. I won't tell you what it is however. A while ago Steven Brill tried to create a super content site called Contentville, it failed miserably, due to numerous copyright and other failings. I would like to design and build something similar which covered every type of content in existence, but make it succeed. I haven't found a business model which would work or even remotely make sense though for this kind of site... I sometime daydream about this.

...except this thread isn't about what you'd do with tons of money. It's what your dream job would be. I want to make video games and/or be in a band. In the case of video games, I'd make the games I want to make rather than just what gets me lots of money. Of course, in reality I'll probably have to take the "Will anyone play it" factor into account when making my games, but this isn't reality. -------------------- The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) Famous Last Words - A local pop-punk band They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I'd keep the one I've got. Well, actually I'd probably go to a different station, one that isn't in Canberra. But basically the same job. -------------------- Sex is easier than love. Posts: 1861 | Registered: Friday, February 11 2005 08:00 |

I'll go with Aran's, actually. It's slighty closer to not making Baby Grammar Jesus cry. —Alorael, who woudn't mind being a professional turnip, either. It would at least be a good conversation piece. You can't deny that! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I'd probably be a professional musician of some kind. In reality I'd hate to be a concert pianist, but I'm assuming this isn't reality we're discussing. If it is, I'd rather be an independent rocker. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.
