I'd get to make video games. I'd lead a very small crack team making small but hilarious games, and we'd rent our IPs out to bigger developers to make bigger fancier versions, but we'd get to decide if they're canon or not.

I'd be fine with enough money to own a pyramid covered in solar panels, and then minimum wage plus 5% of our profits for the rest of my life.

Mine would be making games, although I currently can't do that because I'm talentless at programming, drawing, creating a story, etc...



How about a job where you sit around all night and surf the web and play on a DS? That's what I do.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

I'm a director in real life. So I already do my dream job. However a well funded production would be dreamy :)



@Tyrannical -that sounds good although I'm an egomaniac so I would want to 'create' something and slap my name all over it.

My ideal job would be to be lead game designer for a series of RPG's (would probably be more of a mix of WRPG and JRPG) I've been working on for nearly the last 15 years (started as a book then D&D campaigns, and still working on my game design documents).

I really don't care about pay, you really don't get into making games for the money, especially going in for art or design.  Even if you're going to programming you could still get better pay for less work elsewhere.

Luckily I'm already working something close to my dreamjob on a dream IP.

 

 Very nice. I wish I had that kind of motivation. I've started around five different stories that I mapped out and everything and then gave up, so I envy you.

Owning my own store and making just enough to have my own place and make all my payments and get the few things I want. Which wouldn't take more than 30k a year.

 

 That's cool, I definitely think you should go for it.

 I always wanted to open a "Sci-Fi and Fantasy world" store personally. It would be everything related to escapism in the sci-fi fantasy vein -from cosplay stuff to anime, mock weaponry, video games, pen and paper rpgs, tabletop wargames, ctgs etc. Although, I doubt it will happen.

Prime Minister of the UK for obvious reasons, and id like a salary of 50k+

 

 I'd take the job, remove the Queen, and take her wage. It'd be £50,000 cheaper to the tax payer than a wage, and I'd be minted.

 

It's win-win.

I'm hoping to get some management experience in before I were to attempt this though. Which probably would take enough time for the economy to start turning around hopefully. I mean, I don't even know how to get a low level management job now. As it is my current employer promised me one and then they gave it to someone else. Which was severely disappointing. I know I'd be very capable of doing it, but without a degree or experience no one else would have confidence in my capabilities.

My ideal would be to have the capacity to be the charismatic, brilliant, well liked leader of the scientific research team that actively pursues and discovers a way to dramatically prolonging human life, perhaps by changing the human genome so that telomerase could repair itself. This change would allow human DNA to theoretically repair itself indefinitely, and could open the door to the possibility of human immortality. I would want to be credited for being the father of imortality, setting the stage for immortalism, and being the first person that successfully becomes immortal.

I think a salary of 160K is comfortable.

 

In real life I hope to become a corporate executive or a university professor or a sucesfull attorney of some sort.
