Felis Catus
From MSN news.

A survey of 1900 workers by Career Builders asked "what is your dream job"?
Having a dream job was defined as "being put on this Earth to do what you were meant to do."

Dream jobs were selected for their "self-actualization potential,and play to some of
the fundamental traits and quirks in our national character."U.S character,that is.

1 Inventor
2 Brain Surgeon
3 NASCAR driver
4 Golf pro
5 Outdoor guide
6 Landscape designer
7 Cooking show host
8 Screenwriter
9 Evangelist
10 Freerider-Translation:"Marry money."

I pick cooking show host or evangelist.I like to cook,or it would be fun to invent my own religion and compete with L.Ron Hubbard.

People will believe,or cook, anything they see on T.V so the pay should be good.

Free Rider. Deep down, I really want to be lazy. Until then, I'm stuck as a workaholic.
Larspeart
hehe, almost forgot.

Feel this cat ass.

I'm sort of an amateur brain surgeon — a hobbyist of a type. I'd love to realize my dream and go pro. The glamour, the action, the bright lights call me. Of course, this would take a great deal of practice.

If all goes well, in 2004 I will be making a living as a freelance graphic designer & voice-over talent. We'll see...

Hoping for the best for you,Rimbaud.Sounds like fun!

I would love to go freelance graphic & web design/development and Internet Marketing (Search engine optimization) or start my own firm. I have been doing it for some time for one company but I know I could make more money working for myself. I just don't have the balls to make the jump since I just bought a house. The possible (extra) instability scares me.
faustus
How about a job for 2004?

You could start with trepanning, a relatively simple operation, and work your way up from there. Best to keep your practice discreet, of course, as I'm sure it would be considered practicing medicine without a license. You may have more work than you can handle, as increasing numbers of people go without health insurance.

There is a strange "community" of people out there who voluntarily trepan themselves (or have themselves trepanned) for what they describe as its psychic or spiritual benefits.

I may soon begin an exciting career as a street musician and tramp. My union at work just voted on its final contract offer from management. The results aren't in yet, but it was the kind of contract where they pass out a complimentary tube of KY jelly with your copy... so we may be out on the pavement soon.

I want to be a government agent for the ATF. Free alcohol, cigars and guns!

Thanks, perruche. It sounds like I could stand to do a little networking.

Hmm... street musician and tramp is actually looking rather promising right now.
I had better get out the old fiddle and get to work!

You only need to spend years practicing how to mix (blend) records and properly match beats.
lambchop
I want to be a cowboy.
JLB
taste-tester for LDF maybe?

I would like to have my own bar someday.
I really like what I do now (unix admin) but I wish I was able to work
from home 1 or 2 days a week.

It's sad, but you're probably right. The times have changed.

Pierce Brosnin was on Conan, I think, and he said his parents did that and it was only a matter of time before he flips his lid. All in his family have at the very least, had their heads shrunk.

He went on about their head holes long enough where he was either on meth or he was serious.
DGLeadbetter
I've seen a website where this woman actually photo'd the process ... thankfully, I can't remember what the addy is.

Anyone who wants a hole in their head can go right ahead.

My lifelong ambition is to be one of those scary-looking grave-diggers that live in a shack in a cemetary. How cool would that be! Scaring off kids, digging graves while stopping every 5 minutes to swig from your flask, robbing the dead of their wedding rings/jewelry. Of course it's just a dream, I could never achieve it.

However, always wanted to own a liquor store. That'd be fun!
DGLeadbetter
People are dying to get into that field. I had to do, I couldn't stop myself.

lambchop
Show some restraint, man.
CelticGent
nah, spew your thoughtcrimes as much as you want!
DGLeadbetter
Like I really had a choice.

Of course. Monkeys throw feces by instinct, as we have already determined.
CelticGent
let's just hope he doesn't do EVERYTHING instinctually and masturbate in the corner hoping we watch.....
DGLeadbetter
Um..... too late.

Hee! That's clever — hence self-contradictory. Bonus points.

Clever, self-contradictory, AND self-deprecating.
Extra bonus point!
CelticGent

Does anyone get the feeling we are surrounded by raving drunk funny lunatics?

And with this new revelation, let us hope DG just throws Feces and nothing like in the Silence of the Lambs.

nope.

my mom used to tell me to beware when riding the bus, that there was always at least ONE crazy person on the bus.

funny thing is, i could never find one.

I thought Silence of the Lambs is what happened when CG walked out to the barn.
