Primary influence/lead designer on the 5E D&D Core rulebooks... Take the system back towards what 3.5 was turning into and away from this MMO crap.

I have 3 dream job ideas

Radio Announcer - This one is actually what I'm going to be working to achieve, as I'm taking Radio Broadcasting in college next year. I've always been told that I have the voice for it. Apparently, announcers don't make that much money, but like New Classic, if I can afford the occasional luxury (spend less than $200 a month on games/movies/music, etc. and either a gym or a martial arts school), my life will be perfect (or at least close enough).

Singer - This was never really a dream of mine, per se, but something I thought of as "Yeah, that'd be cool, but as if that's gonna happen." Mainly because I've never really given it any serious thought, and I don't think I'd come up with good lyrics to any songs.

Martial Arts Instructor - I like me some martial arts. Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts are my main hobbies. However, a lot of techniques are pretty damn complicated. I'd be hard pressed to master and remember enough of them to teach to a group of 10-20 people. That, and I'd be bound to end up having to deal with jackasses, as with any job that involves teaching, or being any kind of authority figure.

My ideal job would be a Racing driver. But my dream job would be something like a bounty-hunter or a mercenary.

You also forgot having the immense hatred of every real actor, as well as likely never having a truly healthy commitment to another woman. Oh, and the part where, if you screw up, every 'nerd' on the planet Earth (and likely Yavin IV) will see it.
- Since I have a low opinion of most 'real' actors, myself, I couldn't care less. Give me one good reason to give credence to anyone's prejudice. Will I suddenly start seeing them everywhere? Will they be holding me back, somehow, from something?

- Having sex with many women does not warrant the omission of romance and love in one's private life. Most people are hung-up on sex. I'm not. I assure you that the person I'd be interested in wouldn't either, as jealousy and distrust is not something I want to involve myself in, especially when it's all about something simple like having sex. I'd be more concerned about character and integrity, first.

- If I screw up, we do take-two. If I screw up and it ends up in the movie, I'll be the first to laugh at it. Why should I care if someone I don't know sees me fucking up and laughs? I won't lose sleep over it. Besides, I'd get to wake up and fuck more women the next day.

Come back to me with real arguments instead of condescending bullshit.

I've already achieved my dream "job". I sit on my ass and you (UK) guys pay for me to do so. It's win-win: I won't go into politics and bring about a reign of terror that will make Draco look like Jesus, as long as your taxes pay to keep me apathetic.

My dream job is being a Private Eye. Especially the part about standing under a streetlight with a magnifying glass and eating pizza in my office.

EDIT: Or I could be payed to play Fallout 3 for ever and ever and ever.

I have three dream jobs, each more unrealistic than the next.

1) Biology teacher - (Imagine, if you will, a woman [me] at the front of the class, screaming, "What do you mean you don't know the fucking answer? FOR FUCK'S SAKE!" *dangles child out of window until they learn what a retrovirus is*)
2) Writer - my illiteracy hinders that, slightly.
3)A comedian - although my comedy skills leave a lot to be desired for.

Ah....

if only.

I had my dream job for three years, until someone stabbed me in the arm causing permanent nerve damage, making me unable to do the job anymore.

Now, I'm not sure what to do. Nothing seems as good...

Maybe being a voice actor would be really cool, i can make about 50 different voices and my natural voice is very deep and (i've been told) authoritative, I could be a bad guy.

Please come teach at my school.

Lead designer at a respected game studio. I have to put that respected in there because I hear stories about new studios having to compromise their artistic vision to meet the demands of their finaciers. Hence Barbie's Pony Adventure 4.

Instead I want to work at a place where the investors say "Well his last one was a hit, I don't care how crazy this one sounds it will probably be a hit as well." That way I can make the games I feel truly have the right to exist. Basicaly I want my creations to be dumped on by Yahtzee.

OK, how about the fact that you will be sick most of the time from a combination of STDs and regular illnesses passed along via sex? thats right most porn stars are sick the vast majority of the time. Or maybe the fact that a porn star suffers the same fate as the game tester in that you slowly become totally desensitized. You would start hating sex, wanting to do other things with your free time. The joy would slowly be lost from the act of it and you will start seeking things you never dreamt of doing just to get you back to normal. Add to that the fact that youll probably only have a short stint in it at best and after that your left with awkward nostalgia and I think you can see its not a 'dream job' at all.

Ruining sex for yourself, being ill alot, potential to get something really bad and prerequisite of physical attractiveness, energy level and mental willingness. Hows that for a better argument?
