Jobs you want

Post by Andrew J. »

Since we already have a "What is your job?" thread, I thought I'd ask, "What job would you absolutely love to have?" Keep in mind this must be an actual job, where you can point to someone and say, "I would like that guy's job."

For me, it would be the job of Dave Attell, the host of Insomniac. To walk around at night, visit every bar and strip club you find, talk to as many weird people as you can find, make sarcastic comments, and get paid for doing it, would be well worth the loss of sleep.
Don't hate; appreciate!

RIP Eddie.

I'd like the job "son".
Given a flithy rich father and/or mother, of course.

Video Game Tester. To be paid to play video games, that would be the life. The downside is that you might end up getting shit games, but you're getting paid for it.

I, quite frankly, want to write SW novels. Sure, the pay isn't great, but it would be a lot of fun. Alternatively, I could be an English professor, again. That was fun, if somewhat taxing.

Paranormal activity/miracle invetigator/debunker. I'm not sure people actually get paid for that but I'd like to do it. Expose con men and morons and maybe even see some weird shit along the way.

Same vein as Tester, Freelance Content Contriuptor, There are few of these guys who could be one week designing missions for Anarchy-Online, The next week helping Playtest and Modify Battlefield 1942 Maps for EA

They are like Beta-Testers but better as they Preform Quality Assurance(The First 50 Fokes who get thier hands on the game besides the Devoplers themselves)

Mountain bike test rider. Give me your bikes and I'll go test them and tell you if they're worth anything. I also want free plane tickets so I can test ride the bikes in various environments. If the bike comes back in one piece after a couple months and I bitch about it for less than 5 minutes it's good. I also expect to be paid handsomely for my expert skills and opinions, and they damn well better listen to my suggestions for improvements. Did I mention that I will only test high end bikes? Now give me that titanium wonderbike and a free plane ticket to Hawaii!

I would have to say that I would like to creat computer games that are easy to play, but diffcult to master. Also test others games.
