What job do you wish you had ??
Taking money out of the picture, what job would you like, love and want to do ??
I would guess that the majority of us don't particularly like what we do and if given the chance to choose, we would switch jobs.
Me ?? I'm not sure, so many things I love... the outdoors, so maybe a forest ranger, game and fish, something to do with the ocean..along the coast...professional baseball of football player, I would also have LOVED to have been a fighter pilot.
Maybe just no job in particular, just wealthy enough to do whatever I wanted when I wanted...is that considered a real job ?? [:D]

this is kind of weird but....

I saw a picture in a National Geographic of a guy who shoots feral goats (not supposed to be there) in the Galapagos Islands.

I would like to do that with a Portugese AR-10 with a QD scope (there's pictures of them @ sturmgewehr.com)

Kind of odd, but hey, it's my dream job.

For salary - Weapons(any small arm or greater) Research and development (quality assurance would also do).
For a little cash on the side, and pure enjoyment - Porn actor. Definatly has to be one of the most satisfying jobs around next to demolitions.

Well, I never looked at it from that angle, but I guees that would be part of it. I looked at it as a job that was outdoors.
Odd as it may seem, I have considered being an LEO. I like the ever changing scene and something new every day. The obvious downside is dealing with the dregs of humanity, but it would be interesting.
Would I get free donuts ?? [:D]

1. fighter pilot
2. head firearm researcher at the Springfield Armory National Historic Site (but I'd have to commute from VT, due to the masshole commie gun laws.) I met the guy who has this job last week when I did a tour of the 2nd floor of the armory. Oh yeah and he's a federal LEO as well (Nat'l Park Service LEO). There's a room up there that has over 5500 rifles in it!

I have my dream job. I work in the movie / TV biz. I used to dream about meeting stars, beautiful women, working on great movies, movies I like. Having the time to put into special projects like documentaries. Working my way up through the crew to Director of Photography, maybe do some Directing. All the while making a 6 figure income easily and possibly into 7 figures.

After 24 years in I'm still on the crew and not where I thought I'd be. I still dream sometimes, comparatively it's a good job, but mostly it's a job.

honestly my dream is to open up a good clean pawn shop/gun shop that deals mainly in guns.  My buddy has one in Georgia.  When I lived there, I spent every moment I wasn't working or sleeping, kicked back in one of the lazy boys he had behind the counter.  That boy had the life.
