I'd very much like to get involved in journalism. Ideally, I'd want a position with a high profile magazine which focused on a hobby I'd enjoy writing about. Ideally, it would pay well also though the latter goes without saying.

President of the United States of America;
or the Governor of Florida.

and there is a clause in the job description of both those jobs (president and governor) if you have a brain you are to highly skilled for the job...

I finally have my dream job, but it's my dream job more because of the people I work with than the job itself. My official title is Exec Administrative Assistant & Systems Support, basically I do everything for everyone and when they break their computers, they call me

**dansgalaxy** · 02-04-2007, 06:17 PM

I think the best type of job for me would to work ad a Tech, in a place like a school they are all thick dont have a clue and they think your inteligent becasue you can push the power button or, wait look if you plug it in it works...

Then again the techs in my school, at thick, i mean no kiddin' i could do their job. [and everyone looks and goes look at him thinks he is it... But really they are thick... and the thing is i only know of 2 ICT teachers who actually know about computers...]

I am doing web design because it pays more then anything I can get (im 16), but I really dont like it much. I have intentions of joining the marines then being a special agent for the fbi.

Real estate and online business entrepreneur. I'd love to buy properties and make them more valuable both online and off. My goal is to own 10 rental properties and 3 profitable online properties in the next 5 years.

That sounds like one of those tough inerview questions that the interviewer fires at the employee to test how he/she will react under pressure.

**Mohab** · 02-05-2007, 06:28 AM

Loads of holidays, tonns of money and minimal work

I understand you want/need money (im 14) and i do too!,

But i don't think you should do webdesign/coding unless you have a geniune interest in computers and the web and how it works.

I personally belive people who understand how computer and servers process what you make always out rank people who may no more code but dont know why/how it it processed.

Know what i mean.

I have spoken to many people who know quite a bit about webdesign and are a bit better than me, but you say to them the apache was down which is why it wasnt working and they go "whats apache??"

it really annouys me people who say they are good with computer and boast it, and they dont even have a basic understanding of how the processor calculates programs etc.

I used to be really into computers, I only recently have been getting out of them. I used to do computer repair for people I knew, trust me, I know how computers work. if you want me to get into the basics of how a cpu works, I will (used to be into hardware engineering, never got far though). as for programming, I have expierence in c++ and x86 assembler.

**ForrestCroce** · 02-05-2007, 09:32 PM

I'd like to get paid to travel and explore the world. A lot like Galen Rowell, except I don't want to meet his end. And so far the only one willing to pay for my trips to Glacier, Yosemite, or Zion National Park is me.

Failing that, I think my next favorite job would be as an economist. Not the type that deals with economics per se; I'd like to solve interesting problems using clever mathematics and the scientific method. I started reading "The Economist" a little over a year ago, when their cover story was the evolutionary history of man. It seems to have more to do with group decision making than money...

actually making real money out of my writing other than from writing websites
