What job would you like to have the most?

[Mr1337Duck]

I'm stuck between two. The first one is a splinter cell/assassin kinda person, because Sam Fisher and Solid Snake kick ass.

The second one is I'd love to be a repossessing dude. I mean, it's just like legal thievery. It doesn't pay too well, but you definitely get your kicks out of it, and lots of good stories for family and friends. At least, I don't think it pays well, but I could be wrong. Not many people want to get shot at, so maybe it does pay pretty well. It'd do hell for your social standing though... you'd make lots of enemies in the process, probably have to lie about your career.


Post what you think would be the ultimate job to have.

[Hamma]

Given the fact I am currently unemployed I've been thinking about stuff like this. I've thought up some interesting stuff, but I cant remember it right now.

I will get back to this thread later :lol:

edit: You think they need computer tech's at strip clubs?

[Malodorous]

I have always thought it would be pretty exciting and interesting to be a Bounty Hunter actually, though obviously dangerous. I do really like my real job though, and can't imagine myself ever really doing anything else now. I am an Air Traffic Control Supervisor.

You could fix the credit card machines

Edit: I wanna be a drill instructor. Every time I watch the begining of Full Metal Jacket I think "Man that would be fun." Getting paid to boss people around, scream at them, curse at them, and treat them like maggots. What's not to like? Getting shot by one of your trainee's would suck though :(

[The President]

I'm simple,,Writer/Director...I will be these two things. And if not, the obvious, President Of The Universe.

I think being a fighter pilot would kick ass! Dangerous though. Even if you don't get shot down or something like that it is real easy to screw a landing on a carrier and die. I dun no, maybe I�ll just stick just stick with being a dev or a Hamma type person (but I would get paid if was the Hamma dude) :)

Bounty Hunter would be cool. I knew someone while in the Military who did local bounty hunting duties. Very good stories.

Personally, I think the best job is one I hope to achieve within the next 10 years; a network consultant. You would come to me and a team of ppl I've assembled would go into your company and suggest ways to improve the networking capabilities. I would then assemble all my team's data and present it to you. If you like the idea, then I'd be in contact with vendors to purchase products and have technicians come and install everything. I'd attach a year clause to all contracts stipulating that we give the company 24/7 support, during which we'd be instructing the company's IT department what we've done. After the year is up we'd then pull out and "turn over the keys" to your company, or another contract is signed for another year of tech support, in a limited role.

Fantasy job though: Comedian. I think I'm funny most of the time, but I just can't see myself scraping by to meet gigs and stuff like that, then waiting a lifetime for my big break.

I never thought my job would be in the "what job would you like to have most" thread, lol...

Not to burst your bubble... But network consultanting is hardly the super glamorous job you paint it out to be. Firstly there are two types of consultants that I have seen... The first is the type that goes from job to job charging $50-75 an hour and does a good job, the system they put in place works. But that does not mean it works well... These are the people that set up a server but no backup system, virus software, or firewall. Those systems work "good" for a few years, then they get a virus and find out they had no backup. Do you know how hard it is to tell a client that their accounting database has been deleted and replaced with a copy of a virus, and that their previous consultant had no backup system in place? They ask YOU what they are supposed to do with their business now...

The other type of consultant is more like what I am... We spend upwards of half of our time pouring over books, white papers, CBTs, and everything else we can find to become the very best in our profession. If you did (do?) not like school then this is absolutely not the right path for you, you will basically be spending half your on-clock time, and twice that of personal time becoming the very best at what you do in a very narrow scope. For example I am a network security consultant. That means that when our manager tells me that next week I will be on a plane to Texas going to Lennox Intl to do a security analysis that I have about 10 hours of work before hand to do, then 20 hours of onsite work. In the end I leave them with a prestine network security policy and most likely a very very large bill...

If you do not like public speaking then the specialist is also most likely not your desired profession... Part of being one of the very best at what you do is you have to get your name out there. So every other week we give 30 min presentations to various professional's organizations, then we also write security articles for local newspapers and national magazines. It is very important that I not spend 40 hours a week working to further my knowledge only to not have any billable work for the rest of my time. It is very important that when I go to a client they say, "Hey, aren't you that guy that wrote bla bla bla." Or, "Hey, arne't you that guy that gave the presentation at bla bla bla?" It adds instantly creditability and makes your client more comfortable spending upwards of $200 or more an hour on you.

I know it's not as glamorous as I painted it to be. Hell I know that what the customer sees is only about 10% of the actual work done. I'm a great public speaker and excelled at writing term papers in college. So yeah, I'm pretty much set up for my future job, according to you.

[NightWalker XI]

I always liked:

Hitokiri in Japan during the 1850's and onwards (Hitokiri means assassin if I am correct)

The thign is, its cool and all that but I dunno how I would actually feel about killing sumone, if ti was fake yeah but real...

But anywho...

In real life I would like to become a really good web designer and become known in the industry and be rich...I need cash :(

[AsylumX]

does it have to be a job? i'd say laying around on my ass all day with a giant bank account so i could keep my comp system top of the line, playing PS all day


For a real job though, i think owning a little computer shop somewhere would be neat. Hire a couple of my friends/relatives that would no doubt like to work for me :D that way i get all the nifty deals and low prices for hardware, and i could mark my gaming system off as a business expense, use it as a display and show kids how much ass they can kick if they buy this :lol:

[Spider]

Like nightwalker said Hitokiri or ManSlayer (batoussai)

But in this era.... Bounty hunter :D

[NightWalker XI]

Spider knows his stuff :D

[Spider]

Yup I'm currently downloading episode 52-70 lol in less then an hour or so I will be enjoying kenshing goodness.

[NeoTassadar]

Weapons testing/R&D for the military. I will find a way to make mecha a viable weapon, I will!

Spider, I am a HUGE Kenshin fan... I started crying when they moved Kenshin from Toonami to late Saturdays... So I bought the second half of the series on DVD, and man am I glad! The clarity is far superior, no comercials, and it has the same voices as the Toonami version did!

I got it from:
http://www.edvdstore.com/e0006b.htm

It is not cheap, almost $70 after shipping, but that is 1150 minutes of Kenshin, that covers from the Ushi/Saito fight to the end of the series.

That was the first time I bought from them, but a friend has been buying dvds from them for ages without a single problem.

Also these are not rips or anything cheesy like that, they are the actual pressed, labeled DVDs. My copy has english dubs and english subtitles if you wana hear the original voices.

BTW, Ushi doesn't do so well ;)

[Cease]

I want Hugh Hefners job -- personifying the Playboy image. He no longer runs the magazine -- his daughter has been for years. All he does is provide the "Playboy" image by throwing parties every night and sleeping with half a dozen women at any given time. I mean seriously, he is truly living a dream.

[lightfire]

ether what he^ said or a game terrorist lol

Get your ass to the "Anime Pictures Thread"

I seen all the series and the movie and the rpequel OVA and am one of the biggest fans out there...but I am not going to watch the endign OVA..I know whats happens but don't want to watch it, it was not done with the consent of the creator and he didn't even write it, its unofficial and a bad bad ending....

[Spider]

ACK! I dont like english kenshin the only way to watch anime is their original version (in this case japanese) with the appropriate sub-titles wich is usually english since french sucks lol

[Squick]

Yeah the DVD has English & Japanese languages, as well as English subtitles. I prefer the english language because the voices are so high pitch that to me it does not make Kenshin or Saito sound manly at all. It makes me picture a school yard fight between a bunch of 9 year old boys.

But the combo of the first and second set of the series would make an incredible gift to anyone that likes anime... 12 DVDs spanning 40 hours of Kenshin... Plus the boxes look great on the ole mantle. Now THATS a wedding present, keep ya damn toaster, I already have three! :D

[JonnyK]

hamma, you should apply for a job as a radio station jockey, you do a good enough job on hamma's music hour ;D or a strip club announcer!

[Spider]

:lol:

But Saito is supposed to be manly :( he is strong and uber!

And Sano better not sound like a 12 year old! *shakes fist*

[JonnyK]

If i could be anything i'd be a porn director or a photographer

I honestly dont think he sleeps with most of them. They had one of his supposed girlfriends on Stern a few weeks ago, and Howard Stern always asks the questions about sex and such, she sounded like she didnt know wtf was going on.

Her answer was always "I don't know" They just get paid a pretty penny and hang around the playboy mansion :p
