Dream Job?
 

Have many folks here are working their dream job?

You comfortable with your lifestyle it provides?


If your not working your dream job, will you take the steps to achieve that job or stay status quo?

Curious as to what kinds of jobs people are working.

my dream job would be tracking down and finding lost tresures. but im an idiot so i build roads for logging trucks. i dig alot. all i find is old beer cans.

Being only guy at home Depot that knows his shit. Can't wait for my retirement job.

My plan is to work at my present job until I am 50 years old (4 more years or so) when I should be debt free and have some serious cash banked and then start a microbrewery.

Dream Job?
 

How are the Home Depot retirement programs?

Solid? Match a 401k?

The dream is to not have a job...

"I should start sending more money next month as I am expecting more work. Patty I promised me a blowjob."

I wouldn't exactly call my job a "dream job" but I like it.

I'm sure a lot of us would like your job of being a pilot and flying to cool places all the time. I don't even know of a pilot school or how long it takes to get through it.

As a retired NFL Hall of Fame quarterback, I already did my dream job.

I love my job, I’m 31 years old and have no desire to leave. I’m a lifer.

Lazy Gen Xer! Back in my day we worked 3 jobs uphill, in the snow!

My dream job is to be owner of the Chiefs. Still saving up, though. If we can make this happen all key decisions will be made via CP polls.

True but if you are doing something you love its not really work, or a job so to speak.

Whats the old saying -

"Do something that you love and you will never work a day in your life".

Why ruin a good hobby?

I work to pay for things

Nothing dreamy about that shit

It's a waste of life really

Trading time for money

Just waiting for the Walmart greeter job to open up...

Although not working anymore I feel lucky that my last job was my dream job. I did support from home and only had to show up for annual xmas party. Pay was good not great but could not beat being at home especially in winter when I was never late for work because of snow. My wife earned a year long paid leave while I had that gig. May have been the best year of my life. She actually liked making sammiches for me. Nooners. Couldnt beat it.

My dream job would be getting paid to go fishing.

First I would catch small Fish for bait then catch big Fish.

I could have a show cooking Fish.

Hopefully mine soon will be "**** this shit, I just won the lottery!"

Solid business plan right there

Crypt Keeper for August Ames..........

Professional poker player, contemplated it at one time...

Other than that, sports talk radio.

Not sure it's my dream job, but I just got hired at Microsoft. They have some pretty incredible benefits.

Congrats:toast:

I have pretty close to my dream job.

I think my true passion though, would be to imitate Charlie Weis' career. Paid millions for not doing jack shit.

Thank you! I've been working on this one for about 7 years. I'm super stoked. Start Monday.

Nope, can't say that this is living the dream. But hey, lots of people have it far worse.

My biggest irritation is that just before the statistical revolution in baseball I took a stats/methods course and the project I chose for the semester was this massive spreadsheet and analysis on what contributes most to winning baseball games. Speed, power, walks, Ks; what was the thing that most closely matched w/ Wins on an overall team basis? I didn't have access to the advanced stats you find on fangraphs and stuff now so I couldn't get much of a statistically significant correlation, but for the time it was pretty damn good stuff. It was 30-40 pages of charts, graphs and genuinely decent stats work since I had a professor steering me in the right direction if I made some error that was self-driving the results.

Then I see things like "Mike Girsch gets GM job 5 years after getting hired by simply mailing 30 teams his statistical analysis on X" and it just pisses me off. I don't suspect I'd be some hotshot MLB exec or anything, but I always wonder if it could've gotten me a foot in the door coming out of college. Could I have been at least an intern in an early analytics department and worked my way up the ladder?

I thought I had some pretty cool ideas at the time and they damn sure hadn't gone mainstream yet. Wish I'd have acted on them.

Go out and get baked this weekend

After 20 years of working 90 hour weeks? (yes, I'd still do it too, just putting it into perspective)

Congrats friend. That’s awesome.

You've been working 90 hour weeks for the last 20 years? You're doing it wrong.

"Do something that you love and you will never work a day in your life".

I LOVE what I'm doing. Starting, growing, and selling companies. Sometimes successful, sometimes not. Working on a referral generation software startup right now. Fun stuff!

I will never retire.

I lost a boatload on a failed turnaround in 2012-2013. Looking back, if I had taken that $$ and bought bitcoin, 1) I would have almost enough to buy CP from Austin, and 2) buy a TF-51 mustang and go flying with Reerun. :)

worked, did good 'til I got comfortable. Now I'm spending time hanging out in a bike shop, getting people on bikes, and meeting cool people to ride with.

I was thinking maybe be the guy who oils up the swimsuit models.

This is my dream job. I love it.

I have a dream career. I have never considered it a job.

I was seriously thinking about doing the same thing, but we have an abundance of microbrewery's in town now. (I should have jumped on it 5-7 years ago) I have the funds in place but I've pretty much hung that one up. I've got a couple of other ideas, one of which I'll likely act on within the next year.

Yeah until you sit around for a few months. I know a few people who retired last year and are already doing a part time gig, not because they have to, but just to get out of the house and or away from their wife. ROFL

Long live BAWAN

My dream job would be the one Josh on Expedition Unknown has. That guy travels the earth and sees some of the coolest places. Having said that, my job is a pretty solid job. I set my own hours, make good money, and help people out.

I enjoy dentistry

I don’t enjoy ththe amount of money I owe for learning to do it. Eventually the hat will be over though hopefully.

My goal is to own 4 or 5 practices and work 3 or 4 days per month

I would of loved to have started a distillery.

Had my dream job for a few years, it got me hurt and had to retire

Now I just ride my motorcycle all over the country and try to keep Momma from kicking my ass for it

I essentially play video games for money against smart people. I wake up at 2am everyday for work (by choice), I work at least 13hrs a day, I work weekends, I have the ability to work from anywhere. My job has the highest highs and the the lowest lows and makes being a Chiefs fan easy (!). It's easily my dream job. = Hedge fund portfolio manager.

Meteorologist. I can talk weather, be wrong, and get away with it.
Problem is, I am never wrong.

Match 401K to 6%. 15% discount on Employee stock purchases . About 2% dividends on stocks.

22 years in and counting...
 

Here's something recent...

That's real good, man. Prohibition? Is that on display somewhere?

Why, oh why, would you paint such a cruel thing?

Prohibition based, high end whiskey bar in the Northland.

Sorry brother, here you go!...better?

Cool, inside or out? I'd like to swing through and check it. Hoping for a new years KC visit if I can get this halo off before then.

Love your work man! :clap:

Hmmm tough to answer. I really like my career a lot. I own a small (hopefully one day big) digital marketing company and it comes with a lot of perks.
- I never set my alarm to wake up
- I can work anywhere in the world
- I get to travel around the world to some interesting places for work and can expense it to clients
-I exercise in the middle of the day and take as long a lunch as I want
-I work probably 20-25 hours per week

Sounds amazing but there's cons too:
-No vacation days
-Can never truly unplug
-Frequently checking emails, answering questions etc on weekends

Overall I love what I do, but I think being a pro athlete or a movie/sitcom actor would be even more fun.

Right on!

Inside. Three total.

I was days away from buying one 15 years ago in West Yellowstone. I still wonder what might have been. I think someone bought it just for the building.

Come open one here. It's twice as big as the one in WSS and it's doing very well. I know two of the bars here would carry kegs of a local brewery. Rumor has it, the fly fishing is good around these parts.:D

How do you prepare your flies? Fried? Baked?

Hmmmm :hmmm:

oh man, that would be cool.

I could totally see you doing this...

Yeah, I would definitely have to do a lot of research first. Big Timber isn't exactly loaded with customers. I have no idea what the draw would be like outside the city limits. It also has a lot of places a guy can get a beer for a small town.

I leave the flies for Bwana. I mostly lure or bait fish. It's easier to drink beer.

That's a fact. It's a lot harder to drink beer slinging a fly line than sitting on the bank with a cooler next to you. :D I think you win!

BevBuckle!

I've (at least I don't think) I've ever met Bwana or seen a picture of him, but can't imagine him being "delicate" enough to fly fish 🤔

Hey on a side note, I was going through Big Stick last week and stopped into the Fort. I turned out to be an expensive stop. I saw a .357 I couldn't live without, a smith & Wesson Combat 66. They were a little proud of it, but I couldn't get it out of my head, so I ended up finding a better price and ordering it on-line in the 4 inch barrel.

LMAO


It's like a bull in a china shop, but I have figured out how to catch a lot of fish over the years. The only thing that has changed, is it's a bit harder to see that fine tippet line when threading the fly eyelet. :hmmm: I generally toss a few pair of dollar store cheaters in the old fly vest these days.

My last job was closer to a dream job, but the company cared far more about their stock price than employees.... plus, it was a lot of travel (perfect at the time), which I didn't want to do forever.

Current job isn't stuff dreams are made of, but couldn't ask for a better location or better people, so it's worth the trade off.

Own your own business I hope

ROFL

I would think so.

Dream job? Fighter Pilot.

Since thats not in reach, i really like my job, and im comfortable financially for the first time ever.

Im good~

I pretty much have my dream job. Pacific Regional Manager for a defense contractor. I live in paradise and get to travel to interesting places. Life is good.

So...you came up with that image all by yourself?

I am not ready for my dream job. Hopefully in the next five years, I take that leap. My current job allows me to help people and I seem to be ok at it and it pays ok. I will never work another 9-5 other than what I do now.

My names John and I just landed mine in Cleveland.

Man, too bad you have to live in Cleveland...

What is it?

It took 80 posts for someone to say Porn Star? Seriously though, Porn Star.
