OT: What is your perfect job?
I've been thinking about my perfect job lately. If money was no object, and you could create the perfect job for yourself, what would it be? Mine would be Diet Coke Quality Control Analyst. I would go to restaurants with fountain service and check to make sure their Diet Coke mix has the perfect amount of fizziness and taste.
What would your perfect job be?
Back in the day, Hugh Hefner's job.
/just being honest
Making sure the steaks are perfect for the customers.
Director of Historical Collections, U-M Athletic Department
Actually think you'd be pretty damn good at it though. I know you get teased for your fandom on this board, but you should be proud bro.
They give it all to the Bentley Library. When you're ready I'll make the introduction.
This is a good one and I hope it becomes a reality someday.
You could be the next keeper of the Little Brown Jug.
I wanna be the guy that decides what to write as the summary for shows/movies on Netflix
but since I'd go bankrupt doing that, craft beer judge.
So, the fellas don't find you attractive?
What do a male prostitute and the Pink Panther have in common?
They're both Peter Sellers.
futbol manager in europe somewhere. preferably warm climate.
I've always wanted to be a successful vintner in my own little fantasies - I love wine, I've studied wine in my spare time and if it were possible to just go to town, I would get myself a vineyard, bottle my own brand "Sinister" (so named as I am left-handed) and make a modest living doing that.

Sadly, I'm eternally stuck with my job.
Quit the bitchin' - you work one freakin' day a year.
Plus, as the old joke goes: He knows where all the bad girls live.
Jim Harbaugh personal assistant. would love to see first hand the ideas and crazy shit he comes up with. I would probably have a stroke trying to keep up with him after 72 hours.

much better for your health. I don't look at it as a job though.
Professional golfer. I'd need to be in the top 50 or so in the world rankings to make it cushy but that would be a great gig.
I love the job that I have, just really wish it wasn't in Texas. I miss the Midwest every single day.
What is your job?
Oil & gas geo
Not a very Midwest-friendly profession.
I could do a few. You're looking at one of them. But I'd really enjoy being a teacher if forces these days didn't conspire to make most of that job not about actually teaching. Maybe a different Paradigm of teaching where you are responsible for a small group of students mastering every subject to a level that prepares them for a really good college. Like one week we would learn about the Industrial Revolution and build an engine, and have a debate out of the gilded age about the shifting economy.

When I was younger I thought teaching would be a cool job and people would say they thought I'd be a good one, but yeah after I got a little older I decided I didn't want to have to deal with a lot of the non-teaching stuff.
I thought it would be cool, too - until I tried it. Then I realized that there is a vast difference between "teaching" and "being a teacher." So much of that "non-teaching stuff" will suck the life out of you.

Teaching will break your heart. I used to teach and parents and students were grateful for it. Now, instead of teaching, it seems I try to get people to do things they don't want to do, and I often feel resented for it. Times have changed.
What grade level do you teachat?
I actually teach at a college now. That may be part of the problem. The vast majority of my students don't want to do anything and they don't want to have to. I'm trying to get people to learn and they don't want to. I also probably shouldn't post anything late at night when I'm tired lest I sound overdramatic. But I used to get thanked on a regular basis. Now I almost never do. More students just resent having to do anything now. Maybe it's better at other schools. I hope!

If that's the extent of the free stuff you'd want out of that job in that era, you're doing it wrong.
