OT: What is your perfect job?

Submitted by Wendyk5 on

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?

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.

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.

Professional gamer (Was pretty damn close) and then run a professional gaming organization. If I ever win the lottery I will have a professional gaming organization.

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 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.

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.

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!
