What's Your Dream Job?
« on: January 28, 2009, 01:52:34 am »
What's Your Dream Job?


When officials at Australia's "Tourism Queensland" published  an online posting  for a "dream job" as caretaker of Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, the agency's website crashed after receiving more than 1 million hits in three days. The job, which pays $100,000 for a six-month stint, involves just 12 hours of "work" each month. Duties include swimming, fishing, snorkeling, producing a blog extolling the area's beauty and fetching mail.

Is being Hamilton Island's caretaker your idea of a "dream job"?

Classical pianist probably. Or cellist or violinist. There's no future in it though. Not unless you are really really REALLY good. Which I'm not. At all. But it would be my dream job. I'd love the traveling aspect of it too. :)

My dream job would be....to be rich enought to not have to work. I´d spend all my time traveling, writing and reading fan fiction.

I ticked "Professor". I'd like to be a Paleoanthropologist.

Kerry. Rule of thumb. If you create a poll, you MUST vote in it. Okay? ;) ;D

So that's the rule okay?  Live it. Love it. Remember it. :laugh:

And that goes for the REST OF YOU too! ;)

I voted Movie Star.....because they seem to enjoy themselves, and they get lots of money, and they wear nice clothes, and they get to meet other movie stars.......
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection
