johnnydun Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I loved my old job, 6 weeks on, 6 weeks off rotation, travelling the world to really interesting countries that not many tourists go to due to war or being 3rd World, the work was not demanding and sometimes I was just on standby watching films in my office all day. Pay was really decent. At the end of each trip, head office would call and ask where I wanted my flight tickets to, they would fly me wherever I wanted to go. Had to stop because I was missing a lot of my kids growing up. A future dream job is living off the success of my kids. They owe me that much. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jives Miguel Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 There's no such thing as a perfect job IMO. Sure, there are some jobs that sound nice on the surface, but really it's not only just the displeasure of completing the activities that people dislike about working, its the absence of choice and free will. You can take away displeasure part, but you cant remove the 2nd part. Anyone who genuinely enjoys working is a perverse human being IMO. I would happily never work again ever. I would never get bored of being in control of my own schedule, getting to decide to do what I want to do whenever I want to do it. I don't understand people who would find that boring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR96 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Working is fundamentally shit. Winning an obscene amount of money on the lottery and doing whatever I want is my dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning an obscene amount of money on the lottery and doing whatever I want is my dream. Is the correct answer. But with Euromillions odds of approx. 150,000,000 to 1 against, it's still a tax on the stupid. Disclaimer - I play Euromillions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You live in Switzerland? My dream job’s if i couldnt just win the Euromillions, id either be a caddy on the PGA tour or one of the guys who works on the Taylormade/Titleist truck who basically get to make a living sticking grips onto golf clubs and handing out golf balls. Either that or one of the rules officials, paid to travel the world telling the players if its a free drop? Aye. More realistic dream job airline pilot, longhaul fleet, theres a youtuber i watch ‘My layover life’ wow what a life that guy has. Then either Superyacht Captain or work on a big cruise ship as an officer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like those folk who win the lottery* and keep working, they should have the winnings taken off them and be placed on a register somewhere *enough to allow them to retire of course 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinghy that. I seen a video where the guy got hassle from players wanting tees a certain size on different days. Hundreds of them. Not for me, Rod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 The Raith job would be a laugh. Bring back Dave Goodwillie and cause general havoc around the place. We're getting into the realms of fantasy now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
