Is there any particular industry or anything that anyone here would prefer over anything else?

I find that I'm leaning more and more to the trades/physical labour. I'm sick of customer service, and tech jobs are really unappealling.

So... you want to be a Gym teacher?

mistawiskas · 04-04-2006, 06:04 AM

I like what I'm doing (contruction trades) but if I had it all to do over again? I'd have stayed in school and completed my architechtural degree or , at least become an electrician.

I want to be a beach hermit. Live on a deserted beach with my dog.. hunt/eat crab and other sea creatures.

Oh...job? I'll make necklaces out of the beautiful seashells I find.

Lamborghini test driver. There is a job like that. I saw it on the National Geographic Channel.

BUUUUT....What i would LOVE to do is be an undercover cop in my Camry, so no one would suspect. Then i can catch all the shitty/dangerous drivers down here in miami. All those shitheads that take reds, tailgate, cut people off, run stop signs. Just cuz they dont see a cop around. But then i'd put my lights on and know that they'd be shitting their pants. Then i can make them feel stupid and ask them what is so important that they needed to do whatever dumbass thing they did. These people need a good scare.

Best job? Towel boy at a strip club. Or in the porn industry of course...

I like what I do a lot. IT support, project work. It's not too physical, I get to travel a lot, the pay is pretty good, and I think the industry has a good future.

But the boom industry of the next 30 years is going to be medicine. Nursing in particular is going to be in high demand.

Jamsan · 04-04-2006, 08:14 AM

I also like IT support -- but my real dream is to work for the goverment. CIA or the FBI preferably.

Tacdriver · 04-04-2006, 08:41 AM

What about the guy that trains porn stars?

Eavanr · 04-04-2006, 09:23 AM

I thought going into school that I would just my bachelors so I could get into law school. Now I'm thinking that I might want to get my doctorate so I could do research and teach.

Same here...almost got into the FBI but didn't have the work experience required when I tested. For some reason they allowed me to test knowing the lack of qualifications I had at that point, I guess they were just looking at a broad pool and if that pool didn't have what they wanted then I'd be looked at.

Film Industry... Director or Sound Design/Mixing/Editing. Or foley, cause that shit's awesome.

ivwshane · 04-04-2006, 12:08 PM

I want to be in the IT industry

shrugs* · 04-04-2006, 12:31 PM

IT industry is for the dogs.

Pay is OK... too bad you don't ever get to sleep or see natural sunlight

My name is Jeff and I am a network support tech. I haven't touched myself in nearly 84 hours.

go for transportation captain. You get to be a teamster.

I'd like to be a real film producer, not just one for an indie company (which I am). I want to get paid.

trs80 · 04-04-2006, 05:36 PM

Astronaught might be cool, but i'm probably too lazy for that rigid self-maintainance.

in which case, middle manager in a good r&d dept. where i get to see cool ideas made, and snag some tech before it's publically available. <_<

MSP · 04-04-2006, 05:54 PM

I'd really like to be a brew master.

ahahahahahahahaha.

I'd be a musician. I have no idea what kind of music I would play.
If not, I would actually like to be a Navy SEAL.

GirlsRidePonies · 04-04-2006, 10:21 PM

I'm indifferent to what I do as a job, as long as it pays well enough to support a family.

My job as a writer for a car magazine kinda falls in that category, but I've tested a lot more minivans and econo boxes than exotic sports cars hehe
