thats a life style… not a job… I’ll take this one as well… love the high country and bush… and the solitude… and the game…
He was in business, had a job. Trapping & hunting for pelts to sell or trade was his gig. The beaver hat biz was big, for awhile, etc. And his other gig, Crow-fighting, well, “warfighters” get paid for punching that clock, too. But there’s all kinds of remunerations. Just cuz ya love your job, or are compelled to give ‘em hell, doesn’t mean it’s not a job. Take this job: shove it, .50’s, steel traps, etc, into furred critters & red men.

I am currently working on my dream. My wife and I own an SAAS for real estate photographers, Realtors, Brokers and photo editors. All I need is 20 busy photographers located anywhere in the US (there are over 10,000 real estate photographers in the US) and my dream will become a reality. 20 busy photographers will bring in enough revenue that we can semi retire. I say semi retire because I will have to maintain the business on, at the very minimum, a part-time basis. Wish us luck.
20 employees? Dream job?
Photographers are notoriously flakey.
Good luck with that.
Wrong, wrong and wrong. Do you know what an SAAS is?
No, but I have had 20 employees before.
It was NOT dreamy.
There will be no employees.
“Real Estate” “photos” are notoriously flakey.
Hire some foreclosure specialist photographers. It’s coming.

I agree.
You keep tabs on Mike Shedlock, Admin?
IIRC, he has a good handle on real estate & housing trends / pitfalls, and was a sage leading up to the crash in ’08-’09.
I am connected to a Broker that will contract with me as soon as the deluge starts. He is 100% sure he will have access to hundreds of foreclosures per month at some point. Apparently, he had to go through some type of certification process to get access.
Did that from 2006-10. As time wore on, the national company I freelanced for kept cutting commissions and finally opened my territory to competetive bidding. I quit, they tried to beg me back 2 mos. later. No way, jose.
I’d contract directly w/ the banks.
Not exactly SAAS for me but similar in that what I do is mostly automated. I built this business after owning and running a business for over 30 years that was time and labor intensive.
I have enough clients so I’m comfortable. I pretty much do whatever I want whenever I want. Including playing a lot of golf, boating, kayaking, enjoying the great outdoors in NH, and hanging out with 9 grandchildren. Oh, and I also enjoy hanging out in the comments section at TBP even though I don’t comment much.
Funny thing is, like you, I assume, it isn’t so much about $$. No, for me, it’s about spending my time as I choose. I have grandkids also? 🙂
Correct
Now that ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, them guys ain’t dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger

Have you looked into Amway, because pyramid schemes won’t build themselves .
You should have told Bernie Madoff that.
Good Luck!!!
Thank you Mista Ed. I’m pretty sure you’re the one I’ve spoken to on the phone a couple times. Things are going swimmingly.

Jaw STILL hanging open…Mommy (RIP) once asked if i wanted her to sponsor me on the Bass Pro® circuit, but i explained that it would have no appeal if it was a job. Too long-winded to go into the details…
DEFINITELY would NOT want be the INVISIBLE MAN…After reading of the indignity he suffered at the hands of SUPERMAN, Who spied WONDER WOMAN sunbathing NUDE on her rooftop. Best to adopt the Boy Scout motto in those situations, Never realized that the world was FULL of women with latent homosexual desires.
Speaking of nude …
Ema Thompson will be in a full frontal nude scene in her upcoming movie “Good Luck To You” …… just in case you’re interested in seeing 63 year old titties and hoo-hoo.
But, it’s on Hulu only. If you don’t get Hulu you can always google “ema thompson nude”. You’ll get several full frontal shots, including some of her masturbating. Really.
Maybe 30 years ago. Now? NO!
She must really, really need her ego stroked … just like Holly Hunter did in ‘Saving Grace’ (2007-2010) …
Thanks for the tip, ol’ Stucky. I like the fact she doesn’t have bolt-ons. Women were so much more interesting when they didn’t all have the same breasts.
The pics of her playing with herself are photoshop fakes.
Keep up the good work
Pass.
My perfect job is …
1)- Where I get all the pussy I want.
2)- Where I am accountable to no one.
3)- Where I get paid a shitload of money.
4)- Where I get an unlimited expense account.
5)- Where I only “work” about 4 hours a week.
6)- Where I can give myself yuge raises whenever I want.
7)- Where I can impose my will totally willy-nilly on others.
8)- Where people beg to suck my dick when they need a favor.
9)- Where I can get extraordinary LIFETIME benefits from Day 1.
10)- Whereby when it is all said and done I don’t actually do Jack Shit.
That’s why I will be running for Congress this year.
Loosely, (no pun intended) “Gynecologist” would fit the bill as well. Did OK on the bookwork, (Always been a motivated self learner)…But when it got to the ‘practicals’…my fingers were too short. Anything that becomes a job eventually becomes a bore anyhow.
Had That situation occurred in the present day, In hindsight, I would claim ‘disability’ and got someone else to pay for the appropriate prosthetics. It’s my understanding that they are pretty close, if not having achieved ‘Tactile’ capabilities currently. Too late for me unfortunately…Would have saved a ton of $ and grief if i EVER woulda got bored, To this day.
As if you would constantly be examining “hot” patients.
The reality of that job would nauseate me and make me swear off sex.
While being short sighted would be another handy attribute in that profession, Do you think a Leopard eats every gazelle he sees? ( Could have said rancher/cow) probably more realistic today to Your point.
Couldn’t extrapolate much from…’Would have saved a ton of $ and grief…’?
If you charge a premium and not take medicaid or whatever.
Ol’ Stucky, you should already have all that as a social media influencer
Driving the bubble truck and spreading bubbles of joy.
No way to spread enough joy in Seattle to counter that festering pile.
What if the bubbles are full of nerve gas?
Dream job = oxymoron
Dream hobby? That’s what I want but can’t afford.

Depends on the definition of the word “job”.

Getting paid to participate in sleep studies.
😉
Have you had a sleep study? All the wires on your head, someone watching you every minute on video, etc. Being a Congresscum is a better way to get paid to sleep.
The wink means that it’s a joke, based on the words “dream job.”
I had a certain Dr. that kept trying to get me to participate in a sleep study. I declined because I felt that it was too invasive. Also, I doubt that I could even fall asleep in that situation.
I started to wonder if my data would be bought and sold, and if more information besides that which is related to sleep would be collected.
Within a couple months, sure enough, I ran across an article from a credible source that confirmed my suspicions. I’ll keep my insomnia, thank you.
I know a woman who applied pressure measuring devices on men’s penises for a research study on erections during your sleep. No joke. Not sure if that is dream job or a nightmare job.
Sounds like a nightmare to me.
Lake Patrol. The guys who patrol the lake I live off of have the best job I could ever want. They show up around 7 am. get in a boat, gas it up, cruise to the marina, get some coffee and bullshit for two or three hours, go hassle a fishermen, go back for coffee and bullshit for 2 hours, hassle a water skier, go back for coffee and bullshit for 2 hours, boat around the lake for an hour and go home. I think you gotta blow someone for this job though.
Haha! My brother in law does that. I sort of did that in the USCG. Yes, it is easy until some fool drowns or blows up his boat with gas fumes. Then you work for a few hours recovering the body, spend the next day on paper work, then hit the bars.
So you want to be able to hassle someone with the authority of law behind you. Well, jackboots gotta start somewhere I suppose.
Spit the dick out of your mouth for second will ya, I’ve lived here for 22 years. These guy’s don’t have the authority of law. Just a great job that I would love to have for my retirement. I know most of the guy’s and they are good mountain people. No one expects them do shit but keep people safe on the lake from fucking idiots like you.
Strip club DJ.
I had that job already in Dallas area in the 90’s. Got lots of free pussy but in the end it was super depressing. The girls were nearly all drug addicts, some were whores, a few were lesbian, and nearly all of them molested and abused as children. Very sad.
A Billionaire and managing the money (for Christ’s sake of course).
scholar-gentleman farmer. i was on the way there when i had most of my funds robbed from me.. would need a fair bit more land and the capital to make a lot of improvements to it, which now will probably never happen.. now it’s been modified to fall back on the not so dreamy job of scholar-subsistence farmer-barely surviving.. harder work and just about no margin for fucking up. i still have my books at least.
i used to do all kinds of stuff, then to learn more, i’d read about stuff, then i read about philosophy. now i just sit around and think.
The more you know the more you realize what you don’t know.
It’s a feedback loop of frustration.
I just sit around and think/drink, (after 5)
Actually, it is the more you know, the more you wish you did not know…. In today’s world, knowledge can be a curse. It is hard to know what is really going on, and realize what is coming, without becoming really depressed….. It is probably better to be a happy idiot….
Agreed. Ignorance is bliss. The happiest people I know are also the most vapid, uninformed and incurious.
Plus the gift of being ignorant that they are ignorant. Sometimes I envy them.
I don’t. I would never want to go back.
But you would not know.
It’s the curse of awareness for us. We can imagine what it is like to be stupid, but the stupid can’t imagine what it is like to not be stupid.
Mom.
Beautiful answer.
if i could upvote even more i would!
Lamborghini or Ferrari or Porsche or Mclaren or………. test driver.
Hell, as long as I can beat on it all day at someone else’s expense, Tata test driver.
I love to drive, especially at 99.9% of the limits of the vehicle.
I was thinking race car engine designer/builder would be a good dream job for me. Of course I only know about 2% of what I would need to know to do this successfully.
Big Leagues then. Confused enough by Nascar myself, still having trouble figuring out which way they will turn next.
Building F1 or Indy cars from carbon fiber.
A bank account other people deposit money in.
Then I could afford to do useful work.
I would have loved to take Dusty Hill’s (RIP) place as bass/rhythm guitar player for ZZ Top but his guitar tech beat me to it.
I wanna be Ken Block.
Make a good living having fun, travelling, and creating and then testing the limits of various flavors of off road (and a little on road) machinery.

Politician executioner
Claudius expelled all the Jews from Rome, and Leopold I, the Holy Roman Emperor and Archduke of Austria, expelled the Jews out of Austria. Each of those men must have delegated the effort to someone. My dream job would be to be that someone.
We’ll need someone to deport all the diversity, too – and to run the labor camps where the liberals are going. Either would be fun.
Imagine how fulfilling it would be to take people with multiple advanced degrees in gender studies and what not, and teach them a useful trade – like shovel operation and the like – would be.
Just the ones who say they are but are not.
Having a record contract back in the day was what I worked for,alas,never happened.
Would love to play for thousands of people and at least for 2-3 hours have em all smile and enjoy life,even if the pay sucked.That said,could easily be comfortable with making millions with the band also!
That said,EZ Gypsy will never play out again,too many bad endings/arguments,sigh……..
You tried. More than 99% of every wannabe rock star.
Friend of mine made the dream come true. Physician in real life and plays the guitar and sings pretty well. Him and a few friends came up with this idea over too many beers of inventing a fake hard rock cover band and put up a concert. It was all a big joke, but there were articles in the local newspaper about it, a youtube channel etc. They rented a concert venue and played for 3 hours for 500 people who had bought $20 tickets to cover the costs and had a post show party until dawn. Go Chrome Metal Tigers!
That’s awesome!
I just wanted to do it with original material for decades!
We always mixed a few originals in sets at bars/parties ect,a few went over very well,especially Freight 88,all good bands have a train song,this was a train song about,well…….train songs,still love it and own it as have copyright due to lyrics sent to meself on multiple post cards(legal,look it up!).
I once worked at an orange juice factory, but I got canned. Couldn’t concentrate.
Same… but I got squeezed out
Orange you guys funny!
Own Bill’s Liquors on Sea Island Pkwy. in Beaufort, SC. Combo likker store w/ high end wines, plus a c-store so you can buy wine & beer on Sundays. Plenty of parking, as Grayco Hardware’s main store is next door. It’s a very unique hardware store w/ personal service to the Nth degree.
The visiting scenery is purty good too.

I set my intentions at 18 to not ‘work for the future’ like my parents did and feel like I succeeded in holding out for the best ‘dream job’ I could muster along the way – creative and independent mostly music industry related income producing work over better money and/or being stuck in one place imagining that I’m pre-paying for some unreliable future security I might not even live to see – like my Dad. It worked out fabulous. I had an extremely diverse, challenging, chance taking and free feeling life producing income that hardly ever felt like work in over 40 jobs.
The 2 big perspective rules I lived by were – there’s hardly any ‘dream’ jobs no matter how fun at first that don’t get old from repetition or have some aspect of slogging, so move on when it turns to mostly slog. And 2, any job that’s working for yourself instead of someone else… or at least where creative demands are always changing where you’re totally trusted and left alone to deliver and amply rewarded is a dream job… and casts a completely different feeling 24/7 in your life.
ATarese, I always enjoy your comments here. I feel #2was accomplished but I didn’t move on when the slog set in. It took a while.
My dream job is to work for a government agency that allows me to suck cock and butt fuck everyone on my team. Especially tos I have chosen with 9 in cocks. So said our transportaton leader.

Hardscrabble Farmer is living my dream job. I keep expanding into it little at a time but retirement and fulltime in that career is coming soon.
I already have my dream job.

Are you guys kidding? Democrat Senator. You only have to tell lies every six years. You set your own work days (126 this year) and you give yourselve raises (21% this year.) You can say pretty much anything to the press, since you don’t need to know anything about stuff about which you have a position, or you can say nothing to anyone. You have a staff to tell you where everything is and run and get you coffee or a Frito pie. You can get a deal on a Tesla and charge it for free at the office.
You can fly back home first class for free–and not go through security. And after two terms you quit and get your salary and benefits for life? 12 years and you’re retired getting $174,000 a year (plus increases and health benefits better than the UAW.) Now that’s a dream job.
THEN…you can go be Dr. Johnny Fever or bikini waxer or Jeremiah Johnson, or just keep cashing those checks and be that former senator down the street.
