    I actually love my current job. I get to do design / programming for a variety of control systems, big and small. Every project has it's own challenges. I get a mixture of office time, time at the clients office testing, and site time for install.

    Also my office is amazing, super flexible about anything if I need to do a late start / short day / not make it into work because of appointment or whatever. So long as my work gets done by the deadline and I make up hours eventually they're plenty happy.

    I would be a golf club designer/ engineer. Work for taylormade as I would be busy all the time with new product.

    Trust me, after a while you get tired of getting all the money and bitches. I did love it for the first decade or so, but for the second one it's getting old, and stay away from the Deli girls.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Photojournalist for a motorcycle magazine. I've met a few that get paid to travel around the world on their bikes and take photos of the highlights of their epic journeys. Everything is paid for, just travel and ride for a living while providing lots of trip info to others that want to go on such trips. Or something like Rick Steves who travels around the world showcasing trips for his tv series.

    Building hot rods/street rods and bikes would be damn cool too. I'd like to be a fab tech for Skunk works.... which is NASA's experimental technologies division.

    This thread could have been more specific. Some people are talking about attainable dream jobs (i.e. refridgerator mechanic or whateverthefuck) and others are talking about actual dream jobs (i.e. F1 mechanic)

    MLB: Starting pitcher for any team that has a solid fan base.

    NHL: Goaltender, Montreal Canadians

    Footie: Cristiano Ronaldo, made $75 million in 2013 and $80 million in 2014. I'd do something about my fugly hair, taste, sneer and general pissy character.

    Beyond those, architect, industrial designer, cop (wife says I'd shoot six people the first day.... all of them piss poor drivers with one burnt out brake light and texting or talking on the phone).


    Honestly, I like my job and life as is, a work in progress.
