My secret dreamjob is to work as a conceptual artist, doing some harmless streetart on the side and generally go the way of the starving artist. I just want to make something that can inspire somebody out there. If I manage to get a work where I can do that then I'm satisfied.
I wouldn't mind not being the top dog, and I wouldn't mind a pay that wasn't the best ever, if I can just get enough to buy food, books and maybe travel a little. Really, I don't think I'll ever earn millions. I spend time calming my friend about the future because it doesn't bother me much. If all else goes wrong, we'll just live in a treehouse in some forest, that's what I keep saying.
Or I'll just be a librarian, happily pimping the books I love and making fun of people that I think have a bad taste in litterature. That would be nice too.

probably some sort of cook, but like only if it was a really poor restaurant and people only wanted to eat food that students live off of. my fav recipe is mi gorehng (these cheap ass indonesian 2 minute noodles) with corn beef. or maybe weetbix a la milk. or pasta and chili with cheese. ya, that'd be the best because then i could do stuff to people's food and if they get sick i'll be like ‘shut up and eat your damn slop’

I have my dream job. List:
1) I work with people smarter than me, but they do not know it.
2) they are half my age
2,a) They do what I ask.
3) I almost work when I want… very little in the summer.
4) The Univ. asks me to set my own goals an then evaluates me in how I reach those goals.
I mean really. What's better than working with young, smart people who make you look good for being smart?

I'd like to do graphic design for a living. I'd really like to work doing illustrations for magazines or advertisements down on Madison Ave. ^_^
But most importantly I'd love to get payed to do comics for a living. But that barely ever works out, so I'll need to do the graphic design thing to, you know, buy food. ; p

hmmm… Well every time someone asks me what do you want to do for a a living I have answers…
1) anything besides staying at Kmart (which is my current job)
and
2) Draw graphic novels or a living.
However, before I can do number 2) I would love to work in a cafe for a while, and then switch to working for a company as a private secretary. Arranging lunches for my boss, making sure the files are in order, doing the books, getting coffee that sort of thing…

Dream Jobs…varies quite a bit…
I would love to be a comic artist and writer…like most people.
I would love to be a stand up comedian or be on SNL.
I would love to be a photographer.
I would love to be a screenwriter.
I would love to be a kept man…
then I wouldn't have to worry about paying the bills or making money doing the other stuff.
If I could do all that…wow that would be a dream come true.
I have always loved the idea of being Finnegan ‘Finn’ Bell from Great Expectations and having an "Arthur Lustig", if you will, come along and sponsor me as I create great works of art in these many arenas.

Well anything with freelance art. Almost any type of art. Have a steady job, as an advertising artist, or editor and then save up enough money so I can have my own work bench for making jewelry. I love the feel of a torch/ saw/ drill in my hand. There's something powerful about melting metal and molding it.

Geez - there's so many possibilities that come to mind. #1 though, I would like to be an author.
A film score composer, a meteorologist, an ornithologist also - but the last two are out because I don't think I could handle the math and chemistry I would have to learn -
