Most fun job in the world

[Raiders Army]

Not counting your current job, what would you consider to be the most "fun" job to do? I'm not talking about what would make the most money or what would give you the most fame, but what would make you enjoy coming to work every day. I tried to put as many general options in here, but I know I didn't cover all of them.

Whoever says "Text Sim Developer" shall forever be crowned king of the nerds.

[Raiders Army]

I think I'd like to be a food critic. I'd have to exercise a lot, but it'd be a lot of fun.

[sachmo71]

Forest Ranger would be a cool job, if I were already rich.

[JeeberD]

Playmate oiler

[Samdari]

On an old "Making of the SI swimsuit issue" special, they showed someone brushing the sand off of the models, especially near the skin/suit seam.

I want to be that guy.

[Bee]

I went with other since "Rich and Retired" wasn't an option.

[oliegirl]

Radio DJ. It's been my dream job since High School...

[bosshogg23]

I have to think movie star would be great. Even better, child movie star, make your millions and never do anything that you didnt want to again. Unless your parents steal your money(Culkin) or you get into nose candy(all other child stars).

[DanGarion]

Is porn star included in the first one?

[McSweeny]

come on bikini inspector

[SelzShoes]

Manager of the Fireworks, Candy and Puppy Dog Store.

[MacroGuru]

Honestly, for me, it has been High School Football Coach...I was paid for it, and I enjoyed it, it was awesome......

[molson]

Movie stars and pro athletes work too hard for it to be fun. I said CEO, so I could make the high-end decisions for a company in an industry that interested me, do none of the actual work, fly around on the company jet, and hire prostitutes on company credit cards.

[sabotai]

As someone who worked at the Safari at Six Flags Great Adventure, the option" working with animals" is wrong......fuckin ostriches...

Anyway, I'd say athlete.

Is that place still around? I have bizarre childhood memories of being sure I'd be killed at every turn at that place. Ostriches were literally attacking our car, striking their beaks against the windows. Monkeys were breaking off people's car antennas. It was chaos.

Yup, still around.

At least you had a car. All I had was a stick with some round plastic piece at the end of it. :)

[Grammaticus]

Idle Rich would have been my first pick, but Pro Athlete that becomes idle rich will do in a pinch.

[bulletsponge]

i voted other, playboy photographer

How about recruiter?

[SackAttack]

Am I allowed to vote, given that I already hold one of these jobs? ;)

[Buccaneer]

It's amazing to look at that list and see all of the entries requiring a ton of hard work and long hours, not to mention sacrifices. But I guess people's fantasies and perpection of a career are important too. To me, the most fun job is one that you can do leisurely and without stress or sacrifices.

[PilotMan]

I always wanted to be a baseball statistician. Keeping stats and watching baseball and getting paid to do it would have been fantastic.

I always knew you volunteered for a Soup Kitchen.

[Desmond]

Politician. I'd love to do something that could majorly effect alot of people in the positive.

and make piles of money while doing it!

[JonInMiddleGA]

Other -- add me to the list of those who thought something along the lines of "idle rich" sounds like the best plan. "Very comfortably retired" would work really well for me too.

Failing those, the only job I've seen in years that I thought seemed really appealing to me was "professional demographer", although probably a better description of my dream job might be "professional demographic analyst". Just give me the data & let me spend my days sorting out what it all means.

Or negative... :rolleyes:

Drew Carey: Oswald what is your dream job?

Oswald: I want to be Cindy Crawford's couch.

Heh... then after two days you'd quit because you realized that CEOs do far more work then most people think :D.

[Gallifrey]

Playing music hands down. Nothing like creating a wall of sound for thousands of people.

[SFL Cat]

Playmate oiler

No, you can't have my job. ;)

[wbatl1]

Other: Coach. A lot of pressure but also one of my dreams and something I have loved doing since I started playing sports

[JS19]

I am actually rather curious as to who chose the military.

[Antmeister]

Other: Wrter. I always dreamed of being a writer of fiction in the form of novels and screenplays.

[cthomer5000]

Unless it's a talk show, you have zero control over your show. Being a DJ is basically just voicing a character.

[hukarez]

Comic book writer for me!

[judicial clerk]

I am actually rather curious as to who chose the military.

I am going to guess that it is someone who isnt in the military. Military service is a lot of things, but not the most fun.

I personally would probably choose firefighter. Cool trucks, hot girlfriends, get paid while you sleep, work like 10 days per month, and everybody loves you.

[Hurst2112]

Fluff....

Oops!

[st.cronin]

Bullpen catcher for a baseball team.

[Schmidty]

Librarian.

I was seriously considering going for a Library Science degree, before deciding to go with English. I still regret that decision.

Not to mention getting paid about 6 bucks an hour. If you're lucky.

[sterlingice]

I have two- I always wanted to play outfield in Wrigley for about 20 years.

Barring that, I've also want to create the (highly interactive but with huge collection) Video Game Museum and be head curator.

[Young Drachma]

I wish I'd been good enough to play tennis professionally. But I'll settle for the senior tour of golf when I reach 50. That'll work.

[Young Drachma]

Bullpen catcher for a baseball team.

Good call.

[sterlingice]

Bullpen catcher for a baseball team.

Paging: Kelly Stinnett, Todd Pratt, Paul Bako, and all the rest

Wait, not career backups, but actual bullpen catchers :D

Whoever says "Text Sim Developer" shall forever be crowned king of the nerds.

I think I won that crown years ago.

I've been a reviewer (movies for a daily newspaper, and PC sports games, for CGW before I started making them). I enjoyed it, but I don't think I'd want to do that full-time.

My answer would be professional baseball player, no question about it. Not that I'm a good athlete.

[Vince]

Hands down, professional baseball player. When I was a kid, I had the notion that I was good enough, too...

Honestly, today, I would PAY a team to let me play for them. Just to suit up and take the field at an MLB game would be the most amazing thing that I could ever do.

[Izulde]

Other---founder of my own independent nation.

[Airhog]

demolitions expert. Blowing shit up is cool!!!

[pennywisesb]

Well, I know you said we couldn't say our current job, but being a fireman is probably the best job in the world. Sure, a professional athlete would be pretty awesome, but I wouldn't trade my job for the world.

[INDalltheway]

FBI.. Female Body Inspector. :cool: :p

[IwasHere]

FBI.. Female Body Inspector. :cool: :p
I wouldn't have the stomach for this. Just think about some of the ugly, stinky, nasty, skanky HOs that would come your way.

Give me the shakes just thinking about it.:eek:
