    Mine would be working as a web developer for a porn site. :laugh: Yeah baby, YEAH!!!

    Is the glass half full, half empty... or twice as large as it needs to be?

      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.

      Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

        Cut a long story sideways I once saw a porn film being made (don't ask). I left very quickly - not nice and not at all titillating, quite the opposite, actually.

          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".

          Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                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'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.

                                  I know a developer who worked for a strip club. According to him, they don't always pay and the goons they sick on you can be rather intimidating. And he never really got the chance to do on-the-job testing (if you catch my drift). Kinda killed the dream for me. :sigh:

                                          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

                                          Wow, you really do know your stuff. That's a whole bunch of euphemisms that I've never even heard before.

                                          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
