A movie critic. I would just love to see the new releases each week and then comment on what I though about them. And get paid to do it. ---

I think the correct way to answer this question would be to think of something you love to do and then create a position that would allow you to get paid for doing it. The things I like are – Beautiful girls, video games, movies and chocolate. My job – I would like to be the owner of a video game and movie lounge that serves all kinds of chocolate drinks and candy while people sit on comfy sofas and play video games or watch movies on big screen TVs. The beautiful girls would have to be the waitresses who bring you the candy. ---

I always thought it would be great to be a National Georaphic photographer; to get paid to travel to exotic locations and take pictures. I mean, that’s what I would do on vacation anyway, right? Or I would be an international currency trader. That has to be the best job ever invented. You trade dollars for pounds, pounds for euros, euros for yen, and yen for dollars, and (hopefully) wind up with more dollars than you started with. You \*literally \*make money out of thin air! ---

I’ll take Supreme Court Justice. Failing that, Secretary of State, Defense, or perhaps a few other cabinet positions. ---

I found out yesterday that my boss, a man who I have nothing in common with other than an interest in poets who killed themselves, has the same dream job that I do: writer for The Weekly World News. I was still a teenager when I decided that would be the coolest journalism gig ever. Were I granted this wish, this is what I’d want. I’d like to work from this area, though, rather than relocate.
