Dream Jobs

They never tell you what you need to know.
But what if I could have any job no matter how easy or remedial and still get paid the same or even more? What would that job be?
What would your choice be?
I’m thinking realistically, not like “yeah I wanna be the guy that applies the oil on bikini models during photo shoots.” Jobs that are real but everything I think of has a downside.
I immediately thought of professional dog walker. I like to go for walks and I like dogs. What if someone paid me what I make now to take 4 dogs for walks each day. Awesome right? But then I’d have to scoop poop, wipe paws, deal with taking a dog for a walk when it’s 15 degrees out and worry about me slipping on ice… it made me realize just about any job has a downside - unless you can think of one that does not - I’d love to hear it.
I also thought - hey how about a professional ice cream taste tester? Could you imagine some of the awful things those people have had to taste? They may have tasted some stuff so nasty it would be hard to erase those tastes from their memory.
What about watching porn? I remember seeing a segment on E! or HBO Real Sex where this guys job was to watch porn all day and masturbate to it. If the porn he was watching aroused himself enough to ejaculate they’d release the scene, if it didn’t arouse him they’d scrap it. When you read into it that sounds like a miserable job. BTW the guy looked like a troll that had never touched a live woman before.
Secret diner? What if you were paid to just go have dinner a random restaurants and then critique it afterwards. That may be a good job. You’re going to eat bad food now and then but that happens now even when I go to restaurants I like. Can’t see too many downsides to that.
Got something to say?

Reminds me of the “Cheers” episode where Norm had a job as a professional beer taster at a brewery
Freaking wonderful, beautiful country, floating thru paradise.
Not compatible with marriage and kids, so that ended it - at least the multi-day trips.
I’m guessing it’s a female dominated position - but sounds like fun
Today tbh there’s high speed jobs in the military I would love to jump into but I don’t have the best back health wise. Otherwise could still do all the physical stuff at a high level but it’s probably time to move on. Very bitter about it though.
if it's a real job I would like this one.
1) Doing something that I enjoy doing.
2) Being paid well enough to indulge in expensive hobbies.
3) Getting enough time off to enjoy those hobbies.
I've been successful to varying degrees at achieving the template. Sorry shadowcat's gigolo ambitions didn't pan out.
Alas, the rest of you damn dirty apes don’t qualify for this amazing job. I mean really…you can learn a lil’ bit of rickness but you can’t hope to be more than, say, 1% as cool as a real rick. And, frankly, you’re ain’t learnin’ to be no lion. You’re either born a lion or you ain’t. ROAR!!!
Fair enough know better ape. My frickin’ hobby is bein’ a rick.
It is still a great thing to be. I mean really… the stylin’ suit, the drivin’ like a maniac, the ability to get out of jams by sayin’ a certain word that rhymes with schmildebeest… what’s not to like?
ROAR!!!
