If you could have any job (and income didn't matter), what would it be?

The answers (in order recieved):

  • Actress...duh. OK if it had to be a job not in my current chosen field, I would have to say literature professor: 19th Century French.

  • I'd want to write stuff, and possibly direct movies.

  • It wouldn't be just one job, it would be many. I would presue various interests all at the same time. Which would probably intale me living on a tropical island making crafts and art to sell to the tourists, teaching the locals anything they wanted to learn, helping build the infrastructure that was needed within their culturual prespective, Collecting information and studying the local flora and fauna, Helping to maintain the enviroment of the local area, Being polictally active on behalf of the native people and the enviroment, and try to spread awarness and education of the local culture to 1st world countries.

  • i'd play music professionally.

  • Philanthropist!

  • Andy Richter's old job on Conan. Mmmmm...Conan...Mmmmmm

  • Train Engineer - either that or Male Porn Star

  • A Neurologist or Neurosurgeon (which is why I'm going to medical school :)

  • President for Life of a small tropical island nation of no particular strategic significance.

  • Dream jobs, what a fun topic! I'd love to be either a rock star or someone who gets to interview them. Actually, the interviewing thing might be better; that way, I'd know that *I'd* not be in the tabloids!

  • I would be a Broadway actress/film star/writer/singer, how's that for a combo? :) Oh, and a supermodel on the side, heh...

  • Sportswriter. The writing part isn't really a key factor. It's the idea of being able to attend all of the various important sports events without the hassle of procuring good seats and arranging travel on my own. I'd say Sport Announcer, but I consider most of them morons, so I'd have too many moron co-workers if I went for that job. So, Sportswriter it is!

  • I'd split my time being the backup catcher for the Yankees and being host of the Daily Show.

  • I would be a marine biologist that went scuba diving with the creatures of the ocean all the time.

  • I think that I'd like to own a b&b aka a bed and breakfast. I would love that.

  • Rock Star. To me quality of life is much more important than any monetary consideration. You have to have a passion for what you do. To truly be fulfilled you must become your work, completely immersed. So the best job in the world has got to be playing in a band and having sex all day. Nothing else competes.

  • a bum

  • Flower shop delivery person...everyone is always happy to see you!

  • I would be a traveling hotel critic or a tv home/cooking show host. Stress level ZERO thank you very much! My boyfriend would be a bartender, like Tom Cruise in cocktail.

  • Jennifer Love Hewitt's G-string

  • CEO of an IT training center.

  • I would be a stage actress and choral director... mom, wife.....

  • i have a few: id either be an archeologist, or a full-time artist, or i would open my own gallery.

  • I think I might want to be a professional bowler. Or maybe an assassin.

  • hmm, that's a tough one. I have a couple. 1. a psychologist so I could hear the lurid details of people's lives. 2. An actress, so I could find out the lurid details of being an actress, and learn about other actors. 3. A writer 4. A rock star

  • I'd run a rescue & rehab sanctuary for abused/unwanted housecats, plus educate the public about animal psychology (like Jane Goodall, except with cats rather than apes).

  • A rock star.

  • Probably author--I'd love to be able to write good fiction that people enjoyed. Plus, it would be cool to be famous, yet be able to go out in public without being mobbed.

  • NHL Referee. Just so I could have Jim Schonfeld offer me a donut ;) ... either that or I'd want Don Cherry's job

  • lead litigator at a law firm

  • TEACHER, I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE A DIFFERANCE IN A KIDS LIFE. "THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE LOOK IN A KIDS EYES WHEN THEY GET IT."

  • Dream job, woo! I would be the bass guitarist in a prog-rock band, like my main man Geddy Lee. Oh... wait... no, I can't play bass guitar. Play professional ice hockey?? Maybe I should learn how to ice skate first. Ummm, YEAH, I'd work for Lucasfilm, doing special effects for Star Wars movies!!!

  • Definately design my own card line for Hallmark. Art and fun text. Still live in the midwest.

    My answer:

    Third basemen for the Chicago Cubs. Nothing against Bill Mueller, but I'd love that job. If it had to be something I was remotely qualified for, I'd like to be a radio announcer for the Cubs.
