If you could do/have done any Job...

[Guest]

I would love to be a marine biologist. I think it would be amazing!!

Anyone else?

 

[Song of the South Upper]

The usual footballer/rock star dreams that you get at about 8...and never really grow out of...

 

[blues_r_best]

Fly an Apache helicopter for the Army.

 

[the leopard]

gwen stefani's bikini line waxer

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Sports Journalist with the aim of ending up in Jeff Stelling's cushy number doing Soccer Saturday!

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Cricket commentator on TMS.

Summer in the UK, winter in the Caribbean, SA, Oz, NZ or the subcontinent, you are paid to watch cricket and natter, and you get sent cakes by devoted listeners. Oh, and because you're on the radio, you maintain total anonymity.

Surely the best job ever invented.

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

Good call MtS.

As a child I wanted to be Ian Botham so that when I wasn't being one of the world's greatest ever cricketers, I'd play a bit of professional football in my spare time, and then spend the rest of the time doing the drink/drugs/women/charity work.

You have to be a proper legend to pull off the dyed blonde mullett and 'tash.

 

[canveyshrimper]

Good shout Matt, that would be ideal for me as I have the sort of face that should only be seen on radio.

I bet the money's rubbish though

Personally, I'd go for being the next Tiger Woods (only problem is, he's younger than me

).

In terms of a real world job, and putting aside money considerations, something outdoors and constructive. Most enjoyable job I've had was probably a summer's labouring whilst a student. Fresh air, sun, exercise and you actually see a tangible result for your day's toil.

Though I'm in about as close to my dream job as I've wanted (web designer), I think a Pro Golfer is a great shout.

As much as I love footie, I think the more sedate nature and massive wonger that comes from (what appears!) pretty little effort would do nicely!

 

[Vange Shrimper]

Sounds like a crap job to you lot, but i'd love to be either a meteorologist or an oceanographer. It is still possible for me to become one!

 

[sufcintheprem]

My current job

Maybe a rock star if I ever get a band started. Only burden is the weight of expectation for you to all but self-destruct. If you don't people get bored. It really is a savage industry!

Job...


Hmmm. I don't like work very much. Is there such a thing as a professional layabout?

 

[The Artful Shrimper]

I would like to earn hundreds of thousands of pounds for doing arty things like making a tent with all the girls names i've shagged painted in it.
I'd sell my works for obscene amounts of money, talk in a drawl whilst attending posh parties with champagne and a-list celebs.
It would enable me to purchase Southend United.

On a more realistic level I would like to do sound engineering full time, which in fact is bloody hard work. and...I probably wouldn't enjoy it anymore.:down:

I would like to do a job I enjoy, where my work is appreciated,
where I have 25% disposable income on top of outgoings, that's all.

 

[Mad Cyril]

I'd like to be the benign dictator of an Island republic with nice weather and not too many hurricanes.

 

[perth shrimper]

Sorry...the benign dictator job has been taken by George Bush

[RobM.]

Hey artful - it'd be a jolly small tent!

 

[Firestorm]

Pathologist would be my ideal job, although my Mrs reckons I could have been a sports commentator.

Recently I decided to change and the job I really fancied was a motorcycle paramedic. Unfortunately I was 1 year too old to apply.....

In fact anything other than the job I have been doing for 27 years which I fell into after being licked out of Uni,did two crap jobs and 3 months on the dole. What a feckin waste..

 

[Shrimpersarmy]

Professional footballer or golfer.

Or unemployed
