What would be your dream job?

[Spec]

Seriously.

If you could choose now, what would it be?

Me, I have no idea. That's why I'm asking.

Is this fantasy so we can pick anything? In that case I would be a professional NHL hockey player. Mimimum salary is 400K and I love hockey.

Also in the running if reality is no object is male straight porn star ( for a little while anyway) or being catipaulted into some high level many millions a year role.

In reality and not a "make a wish" scenario, my current job comes pretty close-- I have a great boss, good benefitc and vacation and my job challenges my brain regularly

I thought of these kinds of jobs, but I wouldn't want to be gretzky and such. To much attention. I'd go for a craig ludwig kind of guy...Pretty much unrecognized.

Sure, I'd go for it, but I dont know how I'd break the news to my gf, friends and family...Someone would fall on one of my videos one day or another.

Most likely.

Honestly, I'm shooting for my dream job. If I'm able to get the spot in the university I applied as PhD student, there is only one spot for what I want to do there so it's unlikely, but should I get it, it's one step down from my dream job.

I love security, I mean I'm fascinated by it, I get to see security policies with big companies and state of the art methods, as well as study hackers in all aspects (culture, methods, the whole underground thing), further develop strategies that reaches from physical security to information security. To me, that is fascinating. It would be the thing I'd do for free or even if I was paid very little.

So I want to do that, I want to, ultimately, set up my own consultant shop with say anywhere from 5 to 10 consultants. I already have 2 other people on board with me, I'd be the founder with one of them. I'm "professional" at sociotechnical defense, that is the bridge where technical and physical security intersects. That's my domain. So I deal with manipulation, deception, sort of a bit of espionage, gaining physical access to places and then exploiting them with elite skills. So I deal with the intersection and setting up comprehensive policies and strategies as well as user training. I guess that would be called penetration testing, one aspect of it.

The other main partner is a pro in disaster recovery and business continuity plans regarding security, as well as an expert in security awareness. Our fields intersects quite a bit but we both have our own ends.

Third guy who wants to join is becoming a professional in cryptography and basically securing communication in all levels. So I'm currently looking for at least 2 or 3 other people.

1 consultant who is an expert on forensics and also can deal with the legal side of forensics and working with the courts and customers. So that's definitely one guy, the one guy I'd like is someone who is an expert at the business side of it all. As in a consultant who has the expertise of a CSO (chief security officer), who can basically map out the business side of security to the customers. A person who can tie our expertise into their business objectives. A guy who can basically show to the managers that this is where you are now, this is what we can do, and here goes the curve, show us how much you want to invest.

You can't really give a ROI, because that's not the nature of the business. But something similar. So a person who can do that, and that person I would expect to also be very competent at doing risk management. I'd suppose we can all do it, but not comprehensive enough to tie business objectives and thus tap into the core of the business, that is to show the managers in their terms what's happening and what they want to do, so it is their educated decision.

So that's 5 guys. That should be the core. Then build up from that. That would be my dream. We would do penetration testing, consulting, training and work with the legal side of issues such as forensics.

But I'm happy even if I don't go that far, as long as I'm working security, and that is consulting. I'm not the type who will be happy in one place, fighting over resources and following protocols. No sir, not me. I demand action and challenge.

You are right-- Porn director or producer or something then-- you know something where the casting couch has a real meaning

I thought of a bunch of others like wine or beer taster but again I think that would pale in a few weeks
