Your dream job?

There's been a thread about each of our real jobs, but forget the real jobs... what about your dream job?? If salary, education, training, etc. weren't a consideration, what would you do?

I have two:
1) I would study languages all the time, it would be my full time job. Not to be a translator, but rather to understand how languages work and grow and change.
2) I would be a professional cyclist! Duh. :)

Aside from the true dream jobs - astronaut (would take a trip off the planet no matter what the consequences -alien abduction or earth voyage - if given the opportunity) and nba player (no matter the role, bench rider or starter)

my dream job would have to be running a small brewery/bike co-op... they can easily run together with the large spaces needed for brew houses, and the two cultures fit perfectly, all bike and beer festivals have the same friendly atmosphere - partially pay the bike repair guys/gals w/ beer... promote cycling and good beer

think new belgium but way smaller and with on-site, community run, bike repair - i guess i picture lakefront brewery (milwaukee) merged with west town or working bikes - we'd repair, sell, and teach... no new bikes sold here... we'd have the best parties, festivals, and mass rides... we'd be a meeting place for mass rides or meeting places for the end of mass rides... we'd love you and you'd love us

any want to join me?

Its funny this thread appeared, I have been considering looking into a career change. Maybe I'll get some ideas.
Probally working in fitness, helping others enjoy the healthy lifestyle I have discovered, and fitting biycyling in there too.

I think one of the best deals out there career-wise is to get yourself into the Occupational Therapy Assistant program at Wright College. 2 years and you can start in the low 40s with employers beating down your door.

Shouldn't that be "Monkey Fluffer?"

Bad memories of the horrible Animal World at Waukeegan and Harlem where I grew up.
They thought it would be a draw to have various neglected animals in pens/cages in the front (e.g. Llamas and such)-- I don't think there's a kid who grew up in Niles in the 70s that isn't plagued by a permanent mental image of the perpetually masturbating monkey greeting you when you walked in.
