what would be your dream job, if you didnt do what you did now?

[RVF500]

Own a boat and do charter game fishing and/or scuba diving somewhere in the caribbean.

Already have the land bought. Just need to stick a house on it and sell up here in a few more years. Get a battered old jeep to bundle around in and a shaggy dog for company (oh yeah, and the missus) and the world can kiss my ar*e.

Thats cool I'm an Archaeologist. It's good craic and very multi discipline i.e you can have the science side or the arts side or the computing/geophys side.
It often doesnt pay that well though. Apparently even less in Britain.

Incidentally i would like to be an engineer . I'd love to know all the stuff but not have to work in a normal engineering job.
Probably something to do with one of high tech design jobs/NASA/space stuff or restoring old aeroplanes cars etc

Also I wouldnt mind working in crafts doing fine woodwork/metalwork if it would pay well enough.

Job swap dewde!
I've done a few engineering disciplines from aerospace to water treatment (now) and it's a gas mostly, but I'm doing it more thro luck than judgement. Comes at a price, the mind numbing drudgery of detailing and programming characteristics into virtual models of machines to make them do what you want....yawntastic.

[turkster]

Well i assume you get paid well for it .

What you do sounds relatively interesting in comparison to some engineers I know

If your interested this is the uni dept where i am studying at the moment and this is the place I work during the summer (I do the experimental archaeology courses amoung other things).

[petrefax]

i'm fairly happy with the job i do now - IT training & a bit of 1st line support, although my place of work isn't the best place to be at the minute cos we're going through a lot of upheavals due to 230 jobs being outsourced to india

my ideal job - something to do with forensics, either human forensics (scenes of crimes, pathology etc) or computer forensics (data recovery & the like, catching ppl up to no good via the medium of computers)

either that or run a gastro-pub ( i just gotta learn to cook for that one!)

Looks kewl Turkster m8, always tried to get in on the digs in my home town of Colchester, one big dig when I was a kid.

Jobs not that interesting when i'm upto my waist in waste surveying a sewage site

Thats what most archaeology is m8






Just s**t is a bit older thats all.

[0iD]

mmm..nothing like human detritus......begs the question...why the hell do we eat sweetcorn? The stuff is indestructable!

[RVF500]

Well it all beats sitting and reading up on ATM, Routing protocols, SONET and SDH for a short notice interview tomorrow. Which is what I'm doing right now

*thinks whistfully of hassle free corner of the world*

*lands headfirst back in the real world*.......back to the books....

[Rave]

I always wanted to be a motorcyle racer. Probably a bit late now.

Still, if I ever get off my arse and actually build and patent my variable intaked/oval pistoned/variable wheelbased wonderbike, I might have a chance.....

Rich :¬)

£1800 bought me a ready to race CBR600 (with spares) from a guy who had just got a sponsored ride. Don't have the time or money to race but it's a blast on track days and if I spill it at least I'm not relying on it to get me home. As for age, well I'm in my 40's and still wear out knee and toe sliders. Won't make you a GP star but could be a good next best thing mate.

[Knoxville]

Be lead guitarist in a band, to be fair i wouldn't care if it was something middle of the road and i didn't make huge wads of cash but the fun of getting up on stage and seeing the crowd cheer would be enough no matter what the pay.

Failing that i'd love to be a tatooist but i just ain't got the skills

[subucni]

although my job at the moment is pretty cool (working in a video shop, with cool manager, great colleagues and regular customers with smiling faces) i don't want to be doing it for the rest of my life, especially with the way head office are cutting back on hours, looks like i soon wont be able to afford working there. so if i wasn't there.....

either:

bike (the pedal kind) mechanic or cycle shop owner. would give me an excuse to get back into my downhill riding properly.

musician or hell even singer in a band that i enjoy making music with and having a laugh, if i could make a living out of it, i'd be stoked.

or independant film maker, with my own production company and flying off around the word by request to make music videos for bands i enjoy listening to.

if i was a lottery winner and money wasn't an object, i'd probably do all of these

as it is, i'm currently studying and trying to become a director/editor so maybe one day

[Theo]

Professional cleaner of society. I've been doing this for years, now, but it'd be nice to be on a payroll... it's hard work is butchering townies!

[Tifosi]

Ferrari test driver for road cars/ concepts

failing that
Bill Gates

[Stewart]

Well, I'd like to be the world's only genuine Ewok. Just a pipe dream really.
