I think owning a little thatched hut type bar in a tropical location with a good view would be cool. Not one where I’d have to worry about a big staff or anything, but instead one where I can charge 10 bucks or so for a corona to people who just got off a cruise ship. These cruisers would fund my lifestyle and I’d make friends with the locals where we’d hang out after closing time and tend to a bonfire and drink my profits away.

Book store owner without any need of profit. (Sigh.) That’d be nice. A little publishing business on the side, perhaps. Oh, well.
I interviewed there ages ago. It seemed like it would be a great place to work, and of course the area is beautiful. Have you ever sent them a resume?
My dream job is running my own microbrewery or small winery. I am working on making it a reality in 10-15 years.
Casting director for Hustler’s Barely Legal series.
Travel writer.
Art professor at UCSB. This is probably even more desirable than the first job mentioned.
I hate you.
Don’t tell my boss, but I love my job (I work retail)
My Resume includes Museum Curator, Thermolytic Dye Chemist at a paint factory, Professional Artist, Graphic Artist, Photographic analyst/restorer, Historic Writer, Farmer and Night shift Janitor.
95% of my current (retail job) involves delighting people that the strange things they want (ie: I need an electric fence that will repell chipmunks with out killing them) can be put together/“McGyvered” out of stuff we sell.\
The other 5% is about me dealing with the chronically stupid/insane (I need a radio that can get “all frequencies”, but can run on a single D Cell for two yrs. It should also have a bell which tells my cat when to poop (true story).
I also teach an adult drawing course based on Anne Edward’s “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain”… My course is called “Draw it Right” and goes a little beyond that as I also show that perception modulates the form of creative ability. Yes. I am writing a book.
I get paid close to $30 an hour for my skills. A laywer friend of mine once remarked… “I would HATE to get you on the stand… you are too happy… nothing to play with…”
My dream job… Beer tester…

Book shop out front, woodworking shop out back. When people came to buy books, they’d also see my beautiful hand-made bookcases and buy some of those too. Preferably, I’d do this in a small vacation town, so the busy season wouldn’t last too long. In the off-season, I’d write novels and travel the world to promote them.
I wanna be a firetruck when I grow up.
Sounds like you and I would get along just fine.
I have the bookstore now, and I do the woodworking just for me (although I taught it for a few years for 4-H). I’m in a small seasonal town, and I write kids nature books when I’m not in the store. I don’t get to travel the world promoting, but I do travel around the U.S. and make tax-deductible trips to national parks.
I’d like to be the guy inventing faster than light engines.
I always wanted to own a coffee shop. Not just a little place that serves coffee, and no Starbucks or anything, but a little hole in the wall in a college town. Every Tuesday could be open stage night, every weekend there would be live music. Enjoyable coffee and drinks…plus a nice atmosphere. The problem is I will probably stay in this area, and The Donkey has that market cornered in Athens (the biggest college town in the immediate area).
Outside of that, or being an independently wealthy writer, something in music production would be nice. A friend of mine owns a studio and I love spending time there, but he doesn’t do enough work to hire someone full-time. Owning a book store would also be nice.
