Your Dream Job

Buckmaster · Jul 17, 2013

If you had to do it all over again......what would you be?

First, I'd like to be a golf course designer and constructor.
Second choice, a sports medicine doctor.

I'm currently in fastener distribution as a salesman and minority partnership.

I would be like Buckmaster. He is my hero!

Honestly not sure I would change much. Maybe I would be a full time fire fighter with the business on the side. Those boys have it made despite their constant bitching. 9-11 days a month with good benefits and retirement. Workout and wax their Harley or boat on the clock. Run a side business on the clock. Make $40-70k per year while doing it.

Other changes might include the direction of my business. I would have changed some things early on. May have gone the excavating route instead. I dunno. Fairly content with the direction and speed of growth we have. Only took 17 years to say that. Lol

I would have majored in horticulture in college and be managing the grounds for a major league baseball team. Or I would be a lead marketer for one of the major outdoor brands.

I would have been a marine biologist. I am a electrical engineer/designer now.

" If I wereeeee the king of the world, I'll tell you what I'd dooo " I'd be a rock star. If nobody likes my singing, then I suppose I'd like to be a welder or some sort of trade. Somewhere were nobody's jamming " policy & procedures" down my throat. I work in hospital administration.

I wouldn't change anything. I'm far from rich and struggle to pay my bills each month, but being given the privilege of raising ZJ, makes life pretty sweet.

I wear a bunch of different hats and they are all low-paying, but it's enough to stay home with my son and that's all that matters.

If I could do it over I would be the person that comes up with all the sayings on the Taco Bell sauce packets.

Not really. I suppose I would like to be a business investor. That is still a possability to do, but I don't really see it happen.

buckbuster217 · Jul 17, 2013

I would probably stay in the same line of work I'm in now but instead of working for a large company as a machinist I would own my own shop doing one off custom machining work

cotty16 · Jul 17, 2013

Since I can't sing and my guitar skills are minimal at best, I'd be a DJ on a big time radio station. That or a sports broadcaster. I'd love to be the play by play or color guy for pro baseball games.

My original major in college was communications. Sometimes I wonder would could have been... Lol

Fluteman · Jul 17, 2013

Maybe I'm a little simple, but if I could make good money doing it with the benefits, I would love work as a carpenter building houses.

Curran · Jul 17, 2013

Tough one... I honestly don't know. I think I'd like to do something where I was in the outdoors more, even working in the outdoor industry in some way, shape, or form. But really it's tough to say exactly what I would want to do.

I do know that I will encourage my kids more than I was to get it figured out. I didn't have that long term vision of what I wanted to do by the time I went into college. The thought was simply get a business degree, then get a job and figure it out from there. I think I've figured things out fairly well so far, but am I working my dream job? Nope. Am I happy? Yes.

rgecko23 · Jul 17, 2013

I would like to add, a history teacher was my 2nd choice. Hunting/editing/filming for a living would be my top choice now.

Ohiosam · Jul 17, 2013

Probably would change anything but my next choice would be gunsmith or tool and die maker.

C'mon down and be my guest teacher anytime you want

dante322 · Jul 17, 2013

I think I would have done something with my artistic stuff. i was told in school i should get into video game design or movie special effects. i figure if i made something i like to do a career, i wouldnt like to do it anymore.

I also regret not going into the military. I wanted to fly helicopters, but was told I had too many broken bones, so I passed on it all together.

bowhunter1023 · Jul 17, 2013

I was all set to be a fighter pilot until I suffered a Grade 3 concussion my sophomore year of high school. I was told I could never fly because of that. Killed a dream I'd had since I first saw Top Gun when I was 8.

Fullbore · Jul 17, 2013

I would love to be Hugh Hefners Chief Photographer! Lol.

On a serious note, prolly a guide and outfitter in south eastern Iowa. Own 2000-6000 acres.

5Cent · Jul 17, 2013

Race car driver....there's still time :smiley_clap:

aholdren · Jul 17, 2013

I'm living the dream, at least that's what I keep telling myself every time I go to work.

I consider myself very fortunate to have the job I've had the last 24 yrs. (I'm a chemical operator). Having to work nites half the time sucks but it provides me with enough time off to spend with my family.

I guess I don't really think too much about a job that I would consider a Dream Job but I definitely know one that I don't want and that's a "Mop Boy in a Porn Cinema"!

cotty16 · Jul 17, 2013

That reminds me... Porn star. There's still time.
