Dream Jobs

Let’s face it most of us aren’t in our “dream job.” I don’t mind my job, sometimes I really like it but it’s stressful 80% of the time and it’s hectic 80% of the time but. I do it because IMO I’m compensated well so I can deal with all the BS that “comes with the job.”

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.
