- Waiter or, better yet, maitre'd at a five-star restaurant. (Elegant surroundings, great food, and you get paid for it! Plus, you can get away with acting snooty.)
- Bit part movie actor or chorus member in light opera/musicals. (Being a star would be too much trouble. But acting is fun.)
- Display designer at an upscale department store. (I love changing decor.)
- Designer of ad campaigns. (Really weird ones. Actually, this may not count because at my old job I occasionally helped design ads, including one starring DOB as a nerd.)
- Bed and breakfast owner. (In real life I would hate all the work. But the abstract concept is charming.)
- Teacher at an avant-garde school with complete freedom to choose my curriculum and methods. (Oh wait, that doesn't go on this list.)
So, what are your fantasy jobs?

District Attorney. Except - oh wait. That would require me completing law school and giving my life away to an office...which in the end I wouldn't care much about.
I'd be a PhD in Medieval Studies. Then I'd teach at an awesome liberal arts college and tour the country autographing my thesis on pre-reformational foreshadowing in secular medieval literature.
Maybe after all the kids move out. ;)
"Philosopher King" sounds like some sort of grown-up version of Calvin's "Dictator For Life."
Darren and I occasionally have this conversation. My jobs generally involve behind-the-scenes work so I can see how things really get put together. A magazine, for instance,especially the ad department. Which is pretty mundane, when you look at it in print. I guess I'll throw in "lion-tamer" just to ratchet up the excitement.

Micro Biologist. It would be so fun to study the new discoveries about cellular machines from a creationists viewpoint. A viewpoint that would actually allow discovery!
Professional student (as long as I don't have to pay the tuition).
Teacher at a Ctian high school, especially history, with a focus on Church history.
Like Scott, my job here is pretty awesome.

Space astronaut. Test pilot for jet airplanes.
And in the more realistic realm: Orphanage worker. Wife. Mother.

Fantasy dream jobs that I could never actually do:
• Private Detective.
• International Spy.
• NFL Quarterback.
Fantasy dream jobs that I could, in fact, do, and I think I could do them well:
• Direct/produce movies.
• Perform as a lead or major supporting role.
• And like most people on here, my current profession: a financial professional.
