My ideal job....

[Elok]

Screw Renee Zellweger-oh, wait, that's the general idea, isn't it?
Anyway, go for the gold. Settle for no less than Jennifer Garner in your fantasizing.

Work is work. Even if you do something that you love, when it becomes something you HAVE to do it is no longer fun.

What if you were a game tester for 100kUSD per annum?

[Japher]

I'm not a big gamer (more a pen and paper gamer)...

Yet, even then. If I only had to test one game out a year... Honestly, I know a guy who use to test games. He got so sick of playing video games 10 hours a day that he quit, bought a cabin outside of Modesto, and grows organic carrots...

Nope...

I think that is why I like my job, it changes a lot without me having to switch jobs, I just switch problems.

Nothing fun about being a game tester.

I am hoping for an interesting research career, as well.

unfortunately, my uni are a bunch of *******s, giving low grades due to harder tests and sillabi, and then taking our grades and the grades of people from other uni at the same level for graduate studies.

I can name lots of worse jobs. Like almost EVERY low level commercial sector job, not to mention sweatshops, and fieldslave labour.

Nuh-uh. Slave gametesting could be worse, something like clockwork orange.

Be nice to do the band thing and get paid for it.

You can send me 1 000 000$ when you make it to the top.

I'd be a better video game designer than I was.

[Japher]

It would be kind of nice to travel the world and write an article for someone like Conde Naste on the "World's Best.... whatever"

[st_swithin]

What if it was the World's Best Toilet Paper Recycling Plants? Would you still want that job?

[Japher]

It would be a foot in the door

Bit like Civ 3 but you get paid instead of paying £40 for the privilige.

My ideal job is to be a creative writing professor at NYU, while moonlighting on off-broadway. And dating Renee Zellweger. Ummmmmmm...

****! That reminds me - I was meaning to apply for the vacant professorship at Columbia. I think I have missed the deadline....
