FIFY.

I already had that job.

I was about 30, making 9 bucks an hour, my rent was $250 a month in Park City, utilities and all.

I was a bike mechanic in the summer and a ski patroller in the winter. Didn't own a car, had a nice couple of bikes and some friends with reliable cars.

In the spring when the ski area closed I would collect unemployment until June and road trip and ride. In the fall when the bike shop called it quits around October 1, I would collect unemployment until Training started just before Thanksgiving and road trip and ride. Weed was cheap, I had a buddy who would sell me 100 hit pages of blotter that had a 100% markup potential, I had a lovely girlfriend and my whole life was in front of me.

Eventually she dumped me because I refused to grow up.

I miss those bikes and my life is still in front of me, whole or not.

Although honestly, I like my job a fair amount. If they could tack another 0 onto my salary, I would be happier than a pig in shit, but wouldn't most of us.

Cruise ship Gigolo.

It’s within reach

You could be a drug courier, I hear that pays well.

I was thinking more along the lines of product tester.

And I'm not aware of a SINGLE person in IT that wouldn't jump at it.

Fuck work.

[babybear]

yea all those people that are like "oh even if I won the lottery, I would still work"
really?
my answer to that is that you don't have enough interests

but really I would say I ended up having my best job if there can be a "dream"
I'm a generalist analyst which means I read a lot (which I love) and learn about new businesses/ industries. as a generalist I also basically get to decide what I want to work on at any given time based on my interests/ how much money I want to make
Funny bc I thought being a mountain guide type was my dream but then didn't really like it as much. it was boring and there are wimpy clients galore. This job I haven't grown tired of. definitely not what I would have expected if you had asked my 20 yo self

Hate that shit. I love skiing, my daughter, my dog, my wife. In that order.

I'm inclined to agree, but there is a distinct difference between the satisfaction that comes from pursuing an interest, or working on a passion, and the satisfaction derived from sacrifice and labor for the benefit of something greater than yourself.

If you've ever experienced a sudden, unexpected job loss, you've likely come to the realization that no matter how much of your identity is wrapped up in who you are outside of work, there is a real loss of purpose and the sense of who you are when it happens. Been there, done that, and I am vociferously in the "work to live, not live to work" camp.

quit overthinking shit

[glademaster]

Bahahaha, astute advice.

I subscribe to this

[babybear]

also have always thought a successful "participatory journalist" sounds pretty awesome
just embed yourself with the best of the best of whatever you want to learn/ write about
challenging but fun

This. I’d have plenty of things to do without a job. Lots of them would be “work.”

Things like volunteering and organizing for causes would be very hard work and very rewarding.

[Tippster]

Honestly I'd love to be a ski shop monkey again, or a Whitewater photographer.... or both, since they're seasonal. That shit was fun. However the money banked since then in the "real world" would make both of those gigs even better.

Still wondering why OP doesn't or hasn't applied for his dream job yet.

Well, to be honest, I only have half the skill set needed for that job. I have some 20+years in snowmaking and grooming with a few years in lift ops. However, I have no experience with ski patrol, lift maintenance, food and beverage or rental operations.

If I had stayed in the industry full time, I would definitely be there by now. Instead, I took the guaranteed payout of a defined benefit pension plan, and now, I only have 3 more years before my employer will pays me to stay home. After that, it’s back to the mountains for full time snowmaking. Already checking the classifieds in anticipation, as you can see.....

Ok, I might have to get out of selling medical devices, my dream job just came along.

Mine would be being an Uber driver... If it paid $100k a year. For three days of work a week.

second.

if you made enough, you could be a driver anywhere you wanted to go, florida in january, boston in july; but the pay is too low to do it.
