Dreary fantasy career swap 12:00 - Feb 20 with 7081 viewsfooters

Lots of serious discussion at the mo so how about we lighten things up :)

When you really can't be arsed to go to work, what alternative professions catch your imagination?

Always liked the look of being a postie or milkman. Don't really have to talk to anyone, nice long walk and fresh air every day, get done early afternoon time, bit of 70s 'ow's yer father with the local readers' wives...

And a train driver too. Looks like it'd be a larf but then most mornings our train drivers look miserable as sin! Maybe it's because they only pootle along at a snail's pace and aren't allowed to put their foot down :)

Obviously unrealistic jobs like being Ron Jeremy or beer taster for Adnams don't really count.

But wait a minute! You're also sleeping with the lead detective!

To be fair, that would make Monday mornings more interesting.


Leading a large convoy of truckers across the country in search of some kinda trucker justice?

Not really viable with Amazon, Spotify and Kindle and such but I would love to work in an independent book or record store

I think long distance trucker would be pretty cool. A life of fry ups an Yorkies. I was a big fan of the classic movie convoy as a kid..


Don't forget murdering prostitutes as well!

Probably coarse fishery management, with a view to one day opening/owning a fishery complex of my own.

Could mix pleasure with business.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Fireman or train driver.

Although I have been told that being a fireman isn’t all that much fun.

I would have loved to work with endanged animal and bird species and be involved with the conservation and breeding them to release back into the wild.

I can't think of anything more rewarding.

Gynecologist!


I'm not sure you've thought that one through. Consider the ratio of fresh 18-year-old mimsies, compared to the number of feculent geriatric growlers you'd be dealing with...

A vicar. They usually have a big house and don't seem to be skint either.

As someone with a bit of experienxe in entertainment it wouldn't be too hard getting dressed up and going through the script.

And if anyone thinks I might be a bit 'robust' on here wait till they hear me in the pulpit

It would have to be CofE though as I could get involved in all the Catholic father/children stuff.... though the drinking wouldn't go amiss.

On days when I can't be bothered, I wish I was an artist. I am sure Tracy Emin's bed thing was just a case of her waking up and thinking "Oh balls, I've not done anything for the Turner Prize" and then looking around the room...

Or a poet. Just spend my days writing nonsense and reading it with a look that is somewhere between disinterest and intrigue.

Or be the guy that gets audiences to clap on gameshows.

All ways worked in shipping and transport when in England. Now I am in Oz and a change of direction seemed a good idea. Have a job now working for a pawn broker, run the very small warehouse and do a bit of van driving.
I am in charge of my self and no one else, most of the staff have no idea how to run a warehouse and the owner says ' just do what you want Michael'
Work 9 to 4 Monday to Friday job is a pce of p$ss. compared to other jobs I have had In the past.

If I had a chance would like to work in a museum.
