What is your dream job?

[Wombat]

I've always wanted to be the President of a TV network. Cancelling bad tv shows just seems like fun to me. How about you?

[Javery]

Shortstop for the NY Yankees.

[Squirms]

Being a porn mogul.

[alongx]

Making games, obviously.

[epobirs]

Trust fund tester.

[bignick]

Pimp

[xspeedracerx]

Making games, obviously.

I am starting at fullsail next year to make games, its gonna be badass.

[Mr. Anderson]

Game designer.

[ElfAngel7]

I'd say porno. The pay may blow, but the job sure does suck ;-)

Seriously, I would love to be a photographer.

[Renzokuken]

gynecologist

[batman2million]

Movie Director

[daphatty]

Game Programmer

[Tromack]

No fucking clue. I thought game designer for a while, as a lot of us nerds do, but I realized I like to play them more than make them. So I guess video game reviewer.

[eldad9]

Excluding all the obvious hot-chick-related jobs,

I'd like to work for activision, circa 1980, on Atari 2600 games.

This hardware is probably the strangest, most fun and most challenging to work with.

Game programming nowadays? Naah. You'll work 60-70 hours a week, and if you're lucky, only hate your games when you're done; if not, you'll hate all of them.

[Rodimus]

[johnnyoski]

gynecologist

For every good one you see there are probably 10 nasty ass ones you'd have to examine.

And I think it would take all of the fun out of it.

[OILYWATER]

Thankfully, I knee-deep in my dream job(s). Video production and anime/manga/video game reviewing. I once considered game designing when I was younger but I realized I'd rather play complete versions of games (though preview versions before release are fun once in a while). It's an everyday challenge trying to stay humble.

[roland13x]

Eldad9....you hit the nail right on the freakin head. It's still fun though...I can't imagine doing anything else. I worked as a structural engineer for a few years before quitting after hating EVERY second of my professional life. The game industry is where I'll probably stay at, if I can.

This sounds similar to me. I wanted to make video games, but luckly I realized early on it just wasn't for me. I then went into Video Production and now work at a News satation.

But like I stated earlier I would really like to be a voice actor. Chris Latta is my idol.

[Wombat]

I'm thinking about looking for new job, so far you guys have been very helpful, thanks

[Wshakspear]

Ive worked at Movie Rental Store, Movie Theater and now a comic book store. Ive had many close friends work at videogame stores. Ive realized...I HATE RETAIL.

i actually WANT a cubicle job. that actually sounds NICE. argh...

[dustyeff]

IRS accountant who audits people and receives death threats for assessing huge penalties on working class people.

Oh, dream job? Small forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves. I thought you said 'future ACTUAL job' for a second there.

[JSweeney]

You'd think that... up until you get a service call to go out and fix an executive's PC for the 10th time because the guy is just smart enough to really fuck himself up, and the people that work for and around him are too intimidated to tell him to just stop screwing with the machine.

Oh, beleive me, i know whats involved. My GF's dad works over at Compuware...sounds like a crap job...but it pays more and is a bit more respectable than my current job. But hey, at least i can show off my promotion worthy attitude and kindness...

[OnyxPrimal]

I hate reatil. I've worked as Sat tech, telemarketing, Manager at a game store, stock, and now cell phone sales. I want a job were I can see as little of other people as possible. I seriously get sick to my stomach every morning before work just knowing I have to deal with people.

[Gameboy415]

Obviously this isn't my long term career choice, but I've always wanted to work at 7-11.

AND I JUST APPLIED LAST NIGHT!

*FINGERS CROSSED*

I know how you feel. I was that way when i worked at K-mart. I dreaded work every day...that can really fuck with your body too. oddly enough though, stress was a great way for me to loose weight...

[crissy1616]

voice actor

ME TOO!!!

[Storamin]

My dream job would have to be Chief Financial Officer at BMW of North America, LLC.
Short of that, pretty much any public accounting firm or at the IRS auditing.

[SevereTireDamage]

Retail... no. I've been in low-level IT positions for several years and I already can't take it anymore.

My dream job?

Animator. Comic book writer/artist. Video game art designer. One or all of the above.

A decent living doing something I actually feel is worth something more than the dwindling hours of my life.

[PapiChullo]

Hall of Fame WR, or OF...

CEO of a fortune 500 company....

Owner of an NFL team...

A music producer...

[organicow]

Freelance satirist and political commentator. (like David Sedaris or Mike Luchovich)

I plan to teach college and lecture on politics and rhetoric; hopefully i can do some satirical writing at the same time.

But hey, I'd be satisfied if I could just finish my bachelor's degree right now...

[Tromack]

My dreamjob is not the typical. I am a huge math geek, so I'm looking forward to a career as an actuary or as some sort of non-typical engineer, i.e. material engineer or process engineer.

[Grave_Addiction]

My dream job would be doing P.R. for the Dallas Cowboys or Dallas Mavericks.

Getting to travel with the team and watch all the games ... wonderful!

[Slipknot9762]

working in the gaming industry would be cool

[mousin]

bartender, or mechanic. or even a fireman.

but most of all, HUGH HEFNER. #1 idol.
and not for the money, cause i would be bill gates, but hes a loner.

[cruzincontrol]

Actor or Porn Star

[Tromack]

That and he has the voice of Kermit the frog. Which while it would be cool for a little while, would not be fun to live with for your whole life.

[yeahokthenfu]

President of Delta airlines, Ive always wanted to travel all over the world, and I could do it for free and make a grip of money, so that would be cool

[Indiana]

Independently Wealthy! :D That's my dream job... I just need a ton of money so I can do whatever I want when I want.

Hey, as long as you know what you're in for.
I've seen the day to day operations at a couple of the Big 3 from multiple angles, and so long as you actually are qualified and actually do your work, you won't ever have a problem. (Save the times when they cull the workforce a little.)

[leperlover]

be on welfare. Come on, you get to sit in your house all day and checks keep coming in? thats the shit

[helava]

roland13x - I feel the same way. Funny, though - I was a mechE prior to this. It's crazy-ass hard work, but definitely satisfying in a way making plastic boxes for consumer electronics wasn't. :D

seppo

[captainfrizo]

My dream job would be to test drive sports cars.

[kaw]

Brewmaster or a museum curator.. Better yet, curator of the Beer Museum.

[Wet Ninja]

Game programmer is my dream job.

I'm currently in a computer science Master's program, and I'm hoping to get a job in game programming after graduating. The problem is, I really want to live in Richmond (Virginia), if not right away, then eventually, and there are no game companies there. So, I have to pick between my dream job and my dream location.

[redrobot]

Sports/War Photographer. I'm starting photography school in 2 months :) My other dream job is to be David LaChapelle. He started as a fashion photographer and now directs music videos for really big name artists. He makes BANK for a dope ass job

[darkmere]

movie writer/director...starting the film and video program at georgia state university in the fall and i'm considering vancouver film school if i can get a portfolio together for that. i'm tired of seeing crappy movies being made and the lack of originality...hollywood needs to stop remaking old movies and get creative...

game designer would be a close second for most of the same reasons...and can anyone tell me why every freakin game that comes out now only lasts for about 10 hours of gameplay? what ever happened to games that spanned 2 or more discs? i have yet to see one for ps2 or xbox...

Let's see CD=700 MB
DVD = 4,500 MB

It's pretty difficutl to fill 4,500 MB unless you are just adding tons of video and audio clips.

[The Mana Knight]

My dream would be on television being a sports anchor on the news. My other dream would be a to work for Square Enix.

[Xevious]

Supermodel Bra inspector

That's my dream job.

[Kaijufan]

I would love to be a movie reviewer/rater. Getting paided to watch movies early and either review or rate them would just be so easy and fun, although Im sure you would have to watch lots of bad movies.

[thatstoobad]

i would love to get paid to sleep.

[Graystone]

A business man with stores like wal-mart. stuff is affordable there is no reason to overcharge on everything. and a movie company and a software company. or a comedic actor with a house over looking the water and city of miami or coca beach.

[Darkwebs]

Dream jobs: when I was very young, I had wanted to be a magician. Then as I got older, I wanted to be pro basketball player. Finally I was hoping to be a comic book artist.

Suffice to say, none of my dreams came true. I don't dream much now. :(

[kristianator]

i've gone through several...

- a top pro wrestling superstar (loved the "sport" since i was in 2nd grade... decided it wasn't for me when i realized that i hated pain)

- comic book artist/writer (a dream that a lot of us give up on, because there's 23094890328432 with the same dream, and only a few who get cut a break or are actually GOOD)

- comic shop owner (worked at a comic shop for 2 years and handled a lot of the work that the owner does... way overrated, boring, and it's not fun hanging out with and seeing the same dorks everyday... i'll stick to being a comic reader)

right now, the dream job is anything that'll make me a crapload of money real quick and is a guaranteed sure thing. anyone know what that is? i'm almost due for my routine switch of majors.

[RedvsBlue]

Race car drive... I mean come on they give you a car that has 800+ horsepower and tell you to make it go as fast as possible... Then if you win, in some races, they give you a million dollars. Where's the downside to that career, even if you weren't one of the top drivers you'd still get that excitement from racing down the track at almost 200 mph.

[abrannan]

When I was younger, I wanted to be in Movie Special Effects, but now that it's all computer generated, that takes the fun out of it. I still wouldn't pass up a chance to work for Phil Tippett or Stan Winston, though.

Now that I'm older, I think I have my dream job. Computer Security Engineer. I get to hack computers all day, and generally prove how much smarter I am than all of the system administrators. Pay is good, too.

[Vampire Hunter D]

Doin absolutly nothing yet still makin millions.

[XboxMaster]

I used to wanna live in Africa in a mansion with an art studio. Now, I wanna do something in video games. Either rating them or being involved in their development would be nice. I hope to become successful in the above profession and then take a break to write a book or two. I also would love to be involved in some kind of anime or movie project. Overall, I wanna be like Tom Clancy. No, I don't mean I wanna write about military conspiracies, but I wanna be a media guru like him. By the end of my life, I'd like to have books, games, movies, and shows under my name.

[WildWop]

Doin absolutly nothing yet still makin millions.

^^ ditto.

However, I will modify it to account for the fact that I will buy many types of businesses / real estate / etc to keep myself busy. An idle mind drives me nuts. I won't do "absolutely nothing," I'll do "absolutely nothing that I don't want to do."

oh, cmon, its never to late to become a magician. isnt there any sort of school for that? im sure the guy with the cart in the middle of the mall didnt teach himself all that stuff.

[magilacudy]

One day I hope be owner and CEO of an NBA franchise. I want to buy the Atlanta Hawks, retool their whole existence, and make them winners.

I guess that would require billions of dollars and a prior job to make that money, but oh well.

[Xevious]

I actually want to be an animator. I'm working on an animated short right now during my off hours.

Here is a recently posted website where you can sort of see what I'm doing: http://www.brainwreckfilms.net

Anyways, I hope to break in the business.

Yes there are actual Clown Colleges. A friend of mine went to one. BTW Clowns are scary as hell.

[Specter]

I want to be a Theme Park manager. I love, love, love theme parks and would love to work for one and improve it and just be in the daily operations of one. I am going to a management school after I get out of high school. And then I am thinking about going to work for a theme park in Kansas City(Worlds of Fun). I will probably start out cleaning, working rides, stuff like that. But I figure that I can work my way up to a management position.

I just love improving things to make them look better, and I would love to see that people would be having fun and stuff. I guess even just working rides at an amusement park would be awesome for me. I love the atmosphere of them.

So there you go, that would be my dream job! :P

[1SwtDeception]

i would want to be a shinobi and kill those who i dont like *smiles on while dreaming* anyhow just being a reviewer for anime/games/food/cars is fine with me including the events too (anime expos, e3, hin) ^___^

[paean]

My dream job is flipping burgers at Burger King... I hear they have awesome pay and benefits.
