There's been a thread about each of our real jobs, but forget the real jobs... what about your dream job?? If salary, education, training, etc. weren't a consideration, what would you do?

I have two:
1) I would study languages all the time, it would be my full time job. Not to be a translator, but rather to understand how languages work and grow and change.
2) I would be a professional cyclist! Duh. :)

once had a mentor who would try to influence my future through engaging conversation with creative and influential individuals as well as involvement in some pretty interesting activities with global implications. too often trying to shape me into their version of what they thought i should one day become (religion, politics, education, etc). to their dismay my only aspiration at the time was to become a pro skateboarder, something i would eventually achieve. one good thing that came out of all that was that i've taken the best that they had to offer and applied it to helping others attain their own goals (as opposed to whatever i have in mind for them) offering my assistance over the hurdles as i have been helped by others from time to time. so far i have taken one guy from sharpening blades in a knife store to a $65k job at a major corporation, another young lady from barrista to managing a flagship retail operation in town, and a couple others on their way to some lofty goals of their very own. also helped to open up educational programs at a few high schools in the states and abroad putting artists at the helm. it's a little hobby i like to call the heart'spath. not too shabby for a high school dropout, eh? if my head wasn't always in the clouds working in virtual computing, surfing the lake, or concocting skin lotions of my own, i wouldn't mind someday finding more ways to assist others in realizing their full potential... or maybe it's all just a dream.
DAMM ! I hate to omit to this, But I do remember what place your talking about. If not mistaken it was on east side of Harlem. I don't think it's their anymore. My wife's foot doctor owns that empty lot.
Bad memories.
I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight!

Shouldn't that be "Monkey Fluffer?"

Bad memories of the horrible Animal World at Waukeegan and Harlem where I grew up.
They thought it would be a draw to have various neglected animals in pens/cages in the front (e.g. Llamas and such)-- I don't think there's a kid who grew up in Niles in the 70s that isn't plagued by a permanent mental image of the perpetually masturbating monkey greeting you when you walked in.

... or either to run some sort of cycling themed/cycling friendly restaurant/bar or to get paid to test out bikes, components, and cycling gear OR to be on a FoodNetwork or Travel Channel show where I get paid to travel and eat.
My dream job is being able to exist without one.
I'm not sure what my dream job would be in the long term as I'm not really sure what I want to be when I "grow up."

In the immediate future, I'd love to make do as a professional balloon twister, freelance writer and bike tour guide. If anyone knows of any restaurants who are looking to bring in more families, let me know! I'd love to get a weekly family night going somewhere.
I don't know if I can find someone willing to combine these and pay me to do it but...
Beach comber...test driver for Ferrari....test rider for waterford...bikini watcher...fine resteraunt taster...mattress tester

thought this would be a fun one to bump.

Testing cars would be pretty terrific for me.

I think I already have it, rebuilding bikes and taking care of my three year old baby girl. 15 year in the rat race was enough for me.
