      I have a vague memory that Marc Clifton did work in that direction. Probably like most things - less exciting when you're doing it that you'd expect. Sigh, another breast... Iain.

      I am one of "those foreigners coming over here and stealing our jobs". Yay me!

          Mine would be working at getting a tan on a beach in Hawaii (or somewhere similar) being waited on hand and foot by beautiful waitresses, my wife at my side(and not minding the waitresses or my looking at them), laptop in hand, working on whatever project suits my fancy at the moment.

          I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

            Actually, rather exciting. The people in the industry (we're talking clubs, not movie production) are cool and the technical challenges for managing all that cash are at times daunting, and since I also have a passion for hardware, I've really enjoyed working with my client on the technical aspects of the hardware (things like bill acceptors, iButton readers, alarm/display modules, low level TCP/IP communication, assembly language, etc.) Marc

                I'm pretty much doing it, quite frankly. Working with really really smart people for a cool company that manufactures communication satellites, and I'm helping to write the software for designing/constructing the satellites. :) Marc

                    Fun potential jobs: Body oiler for Salma Hayek. Quality tester at a distillery. Top Gear presenter. Real jobs: Father - that's the best job I've ever had.

                          He doesn't get to take the cars home, and his salary is a lot less. Plus, the presenters driving skills don't have to be as top notch.

                            When I retire, I plan to go back to work at a hardware store. I may only be a door greeter and a shelf stocker, but everyday I will get to meet new people, and talk to them face-to-face, and help them find the tools and accessories that let them get their jobs done. I'm sure that there will be the odd customer that will make me want to take a hammer to their head, but I promise to show great restraint. Why a hardware store? Well ever since I was a little guy, I've been building things all my life. So when I retire, it will be time to give some of that experience back to others. :)

                                Porn seems like it would be hard. Besides there is the ethical dilemma. Personally, I would like to get paid to solve problems in computer science. Unfortunately, I am lacking in ear and nose hair and do not have a philosophy degree.

                                      Well, they always say not to look at sausages. Or something like that.

                                        He doesn't get to take the cars home, and his salary is a lot less. Plus, the presenters driving skills don't have to be as top notch.

                                        And they sacked him, so now he just walks around telling anyone who will listen "I used to be the Stig".

                                          Been there. Not as exciting as you seem to hope. Development is development, everywhere you go there are arseholes and penises
