    Being in my early twenties I find it hard to think any job is truly "unrealistic", but I figure I can think of a few careers that would be pretty hard near impossible to obtain and are not realistic long-term goals.

    Realistic:

    Municipal Politician/MLA/MP
    Lawyer
    Unemployed

    Unrealistic:

    Prime Minister
    Secretary-General of the United Nations
    Chief Justice of Canada
    Puisne Judge

    What?:

    God
    King of the World
    Rob Anders

    Realistic: install custom car computer solutions into the highest of the high end vehicles. Well, maybe the lower of the high end would be more realistic.

    Dream job: Mark Shuttleworth's job......start an internet security company, sell it for $3,500,000,000, then start up another company that produces one of the best operating systems ever released. Then give it away for free as a big fuck you to Microsoft.

    calling it $3,500,000,000 sounds pretty impressive, until you add that it is $3,500,000,000 in South African dollars (Rand), but still impressive nonetheless.
