If you could choose any dream job...

[Spatula]

What would it be?
(Assuming you are qualified)
For me:

1) Concert Pianist (bet you didn't see that one comin')
2) Air Force Fighter Pilot - Captain
3) Playboy head-honcho to replace Hugh Heffy

[squinchy]

 

1. To teach music history (or just plain music) at some semi-private secondary school in a foreign country

2. To replace Alex Trebek on Jeopardy!

3. To be paid reasonable amounts to learn anything (scholarly) that I desire. I guess this would be like going to high school forever, except it's not your parents that support you and you have even more freedom to choose.

4. Psychiatrist?

I don't want to be a concert pianist because I'm most definitely not good enough and wouldn't want it to become any more than a very enjoyable hobby.

Spatula, I like your 3rd option.  Im there!!!

However, if that doesnt work out,

maybe Id like to be an architect because it is well paying and supposedly a lot of fun.

if not, id like to be a dermatologist so I make millions of dollars a year to look at the shape of warts and refer people to other specialists so they can do the hard tedious work.

And, since spatula, you said assuming Im qualified, I would like to be an actor so I live on in the media long after I die.

Wait! I should have put this one down:

Music composer for video games like Final Fantasy...perhaps I'll have to somehow fill Uematsu's shoes... now that'd be an insane challenge.  I'd make my own style.

yeah i like squinchy's first choice that'd be the bomb but i don't think such a job exists in australia damn the school system

and combined with that i would be a full internationally famous artist and illustrator, and have my own card design company. oh wait a minute i'm aiming to do all of that anyway... oh and i'll have a sponser who'll pay for all my art supplies!

otherwise i'll be playing the double bass in some cool jazz band (not that i can play the double bass or play jazz...)

ummm dunno what else. oh have my own bizarre piano making company that makes crazily coloured pianos with paintings on them and stuff- tastefully deocrated though

[Spatula]

Yes, we all know...tastefully naked pics of you on the piano lid.  I got it.   

[donjuan]

Yes, we all know...tastefully naked pics of you on the piano lid.  I got it.   

haha I dont think I would be able to concentrate on music while playing that piano..

[Tash]

no! it'd be you naked my dear spatula

[donjuan]

no! it'd be you naked my dear spatula

ugh...I guess I wouldnt be able to focus on the music in that case either..

A conductor. The Owner of a Piano manufacturer. A concert pianist. A really rich person (from inheritance) who has a lot of pianos and stuff. The owner of a music publisher (preferably some urtext company). The President of the U.S. Ruler of the Free World (haha....bwahahahah.....mwawawaw....sorry).

I'd like to get paid a lot of money to do whatever I wanted -- no job description, no job goals, just whatever I felt like doing.  One long weekend each day that I get paid for.

Or, get well paid to sleep.  I could put in an 8 hour workday everyday.

Or, I'd like to perform and teach.  Have students that didn't whine or complain.  Be successful in both area without having to put a lot of effort into it.  Then it really wouldn't matter how much I got paid, but as long as I'm dreaming.... lots of money and few hours.  Easy success.

I think I could use an assistant for any of these jobs.
