[12-34hom]

Vic's thread on what folks around here do to earn a living and support thier hobbies got me wondering..

What would you consider as your "dream" job or profession?

Mine, PGA touring pro would be a excellent way to make a living.

How bout you?

A few years of carrier landings and takeoffs would satisfy my adrenalin quota for quite a while.

[natedog]

Poster child competitor for Springfield Armory/ SW... or the guy that tests the bullet proof vests (no not buy getting shot with them but buy annihalating them with various small arms)

[mtnbkr]

I actually have a job I really like, just wish it was a bit lower in stakes. I'd also like to get out of the "sales and marketing" side of what I do and simply be an IT engineer that doesn't have to worry about "billable hours".

[Standing Wolf]

Being an artist, I'd rather making my living as an artist than a marketing and advertising guy. Oh, well!

[Peter Gun]

Jet pilot. All I ever really wanted to do. But, the services wont have me w/ this 4F nearsightedness, so I have to content myself w/ fast and loud toys that civilians can own.

[Dionysusigma]

Director of Photography (the guy who decides what camera angles to use, how to set the lighting, etc. in a film). A rich one. Either that or a really well eqiupped armorer for said movie.

[Quintin Likely]

A job from this thread would sure be neat:

[Soap]

Being the next Warren Buffet or Donald Trump :D

[444]

I have dreamed over the years of doing stuff ranging from playing in the NFL or MLB to working in some interesting capacity in the gun industry. But when it comes down to brass tacks, I wouldn't want to do anything other than what I am doing. Well, let me change that, I would rather be very rich and not have to work. It was never my dream job, but after I got it, I realize that I wouldn't want to do anything else.
Second choice would be managing a legal brothel.

[Atticus]

Lottery winner. My dream job would be no job...but lot's of money.

[Snake Eyes]

Comfortably retired while still able to enjoy it.

I'd probably do lots of things...student, stock trader, golfer, builder, gunsmith--maybe even gun store owner.

But none would be for monetary profit.

Peter

[Detritus]

resident historian for some sort of military or firearms museum that does "living history" type things, where the items on display are demonstated to teh public as to their function and usage.


or simplay a Military history Prof. at a decent college.

[Chris Rhines]

Self-employeed model engineer.

[duckfoot]

Being a full time Bladesmith, instead of a free time tinker, and full time member of the working dead. I can never get enough time at the forge to do more than make a small blade or a gift for some one.

[Skunkabilly]

Working at HK as the governent sales guy....company paid trips to Korea and guns and ammo on company time.... :D

[FireInTheHole]

I havent seen enough of the world to know. I guess doing something where I gain alot of new info(or discover it!) every day.

And get paid alot for it. :p

[AZTOY]

I have no say..........

I'm a Multi-channel Transmissions Systems Operators for Uncle Sam for the next 4 year.

I have no clue want that means.:confused: but that want i will be doing.

[Fly320s]

I'm doing what I always wanted to do. :D

Now, if I could find a way to do it from home.

[Skunkabilly]

I want to be the Chinese Steve Irwin, but with prairie dogs and guns.

[HBK]

It would be nice to be filthy rich and just do whatever I wanted whatever mood would strike me. I think maybe finding the kids you see on the milk cartons that have disappeared would be cool to do. Probably earn some good kharma points that way too. NFL football player would be good too.
Maybe world darts champion. Something that would allow me to meet and seduce Milla Jovovich.

[P95Carry]

Chris Rhines .... Self-employeed model engineer. Yep .... that'd work!!:p :)

But otherwise ..... I'll go for ''highly paid ammunition tester'' ...... :evil: :p

[cool45auto]

SWAT Sniper:cool:

[Lt. G]

Same job, Fireman/Paramedic/Flightmedic just making a little bit more money so I didn't have to work on my days off.

[St. Gunner]

I've wanted to be a fireman since I was knee high to a grasshopper, taken the test and scored in the 90's for the past four years, go through the PT test, but always end up a few spots out. Budget cuts got me last year, went from 104 proposed cadets to less than 40. Made a 92 on the written this time, keeping my fingers crossed.

I also applied for the Border Patrol, made a 97 on that test, should have an offer soon.

I wish my current job as a self employed fence builder paid better, but it got me through college and it gave me plenty of free time, plus lots of time to hunt on the job. Number one is fireman, number two is the BP, after that I don't really know, I hate being in an office and I like to shoot, so it has to pay the ammo bills.:D

[t driver]

Drag racer. Preferably motorcycles or Top Fuel, but hey, If someone was paying me I wouldn't be too picky.:D

[Seeker]

I'd like to be well paid for my opinions:D

Beer taster eould be good too.

Over the years I have dreamed of a biker bar a nice rides distance from the city. The sign would read:

"Daves Ice Cold Beer & Red Hot Tacos!"

[Mike Irwin]

I had one dream job already, and it turned into a nightmare...

Associate Editor of American Rifleman magazine.


So, I guess my back up dream job would have to be PhD of Art History, lecturing on American Art & Architecture.

[Schuey2002]

My dream job would be driving F1 cars for a certain Italian company headquartered in Maranello, Italy. [Need a hint? Click on my signature, ;)]

During my days off, I'd like to have Jim Schatz's job. (He is the Director of Federal Operations for H&K Sterling.) :cool:

[Ala Dan]

Well, let's see:

1st, pilot of a medical evacuation Bell Jet Ranger helicopter

2nd, U.S. Secret Service Special Agent

3rd, professional baseball player

4th, head football coach at The University Of Tennessee

5th, U.S. Army Delta team member


Varied choices, most likely could have and should
have been choice #2; as law enforcement was my time
honored profession for 20+ year's. All I needed was the
college degree, and to have been hired before the age
of 37. Well, hindsight is 20/20; as I'm too damn old for
any of these except maybe position #4? And my ole' bud
Phil Fulmer is doing an excellent job; so I guess I will
retire to my front poarch and drink cold glass'es of iced
tea!:uhoh: :rolleyes: :D

Best Wishes,

[Spieler]

Almost anything but what I am doing right now! Actually I'vd already done one dream job and moved on as I find it hard to keep my feet planted for very long. And I have passed all the requisite entrance hurdles for my next dream job, Foreign Service Officer with US Dept. of State, but family commitments may dictate that go on the back burner.:(

Oh well. I have long ago stopped defining myself by what I do to earn a living or care how others see me, it's only what my kids think of me as a dad and as a person that count to me.

[CZSteve]

2nd the drag racer response.

Either Top Fuel or Pro Stock

Top Fuel:
0-320 MPH in 4.7 seconds! Enough said

Pro Stock:
More action going on inside the car during the run.

Drag racing has been called 'modern day gunslingers'; re: the re-action time to the christmas tree @ the start.

BTW Funny Car guys are plain NUTS.
6000 HP between your legs on a short wheel base car; just look at John Force :D

Take Care

[Politically Incorrect]

Besides being the official taste tester at Jack Daniels, I would love to be involved in directing movies. I have an affection for what a camera can capture and a mind in understanding what it all takes for a production to come together.

Since I have been in the workforce and a taxpayer since 1971 all I want to do is win some ridiculously large amount of money. Then my job would be to spend it. YEAH, THAT"S IT. :cool:

[SaintofKillers]

I really enjoy my current job, turnin' wrenches, working on my dream job, being a full time mud drag racer and driving/owning a monster truck. When I was younger (early twenties) I wanted to be in law enforcement, but i probably would have ended up a "Vic Maki" type like from the shield. I had the insight enough to know that as a lawenforcement officer i would have to deal with the revolving door justice system in this country that is a joke, any LEO will tell you how hard it is to go to a domestic call and see some woman who has been beaten by her boyfriend/husband dirt bag. How those guys dont just take that guy out in the alley and bang the perps head off the doorjamb of their prowler I will never know. Jim Scouttens job would be nice, guns and cars, its all internal combustion, Dwayne dog Chapmans job comes to mind as well as R. Lee Ermys'
