What is your dream job?

[DaJoW]

I'd love to be a writer, mostly to get the fairly extensive universe I've worked on for most of my life (started out as playing in it as a kid, stuck with me and expanded as I used it to give a personal twist/interest to videogames). I've written quite a few short stories taking place in it, but they're not that good and since I started reading Warhammer 40K novels I realized just how similar the two universes were, so now my stories look like rip-offs of something I had no knowledge of when I wrote them :/

More realistically, a programmer. Been studying it a couple of years but can't get a grip on the math so it looks like that won't happen either. Will probably end up working a factory floor like my brother.

It'd be nice to have any job right now, but since i'm picky I wanna work with animals so either at the aquarium/zoo or humane society, or tattoo artist too

I seem to gravitate towards game developer, with a noticeable possibility of becoming an indie game developer. I honestly didn't plan to end up with this, as it has been quite a few years since "making games" was what I wanted to do with my life.

I am a very good programmer, and already have shy of 10 years experience (at the meager age of 21). Programming comes to me as naturally as spoken language, if not more so. So I'm already off to a good start. And I really love to work on other aspects of game development (and development in general): Story, game design, system architecture, music, level design, etc. Indie development just seems to allow me to work on enjoy more of these concurrently.

Some of you might even be playing one of my games in the future, or so I hope.

(Related to all of this there is a second job I really passionately want, but that one is behind the curtains for now)

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Author. I would be so down living off of what I've written.

However, being a filmmaker is just as appealing.

 

[M4A1Sopmod]

Professional Money Inheritor.

 

[Quaxar]

Robotics engineer or astronomer. Both working for the ESA if possible. I want to shoot stuff in outer space!

Though in case of emergency I think I could also settle with my current job as a paramedic. Not too bad actually.

 

[olendvcook]

Mine was a game programmer...before I found out on an article on this very website that they make far less then those in other fields of programming. So now I don't know.

Yeah I'm in the same boat =/

 

[Socius]

Being a:
Nice overlord of starfishness and fistbumping pleasures.
A completely awesome title, that sounds hanseomly paid and require no effort.
That or that Doctors degree in sociology, which I am studying for.

 

[ChupathingyX]

When I was a little kid I wanted to be a paleontologist thanks to Jurassic Park.

 

[Count Igor]

Actor.
Most certainly dear fellows.

Or, failing that, Pyrotechnician. Maybe both!
Purely so when someone asks me what I do, I can go "MMfggmm Hhffmm!" and they'll respond with "Ah. A pyro!"

I've wanted to be a game programmer for years, and I still do. However, I live in Western Australia, and there is literally no industry here. So, maybe I'll get hired long distance by a company, either way me and some friends are gonna start an Indie company. Which could be even better. I definitely want to travel a lot in my life, and being an Indie developer would be perfect for that.

Had a dream job of wanting to be a doctor (because alot of doctors in Norway are kinda corrupted, thinks only of them selves earning money.......) but when I saw I needed somewhere around only A's on every freaking test, I said HELL NO! in my country all the people who get only A's are complete nervous wreck. Sadly they can't or won't manage in the real life after school, just because these people are fond of getting their answer right in their hands xD

Now it's working in a store who sell videogames or rent out movies.
