erm, actor... the kind of actor that does scenes with naked ladies.

That or fighter pilot.

BTW:

No, you wouldn't, you'd be stressed out, burnt out, and wanting to be an "actor".

Seriously though, the chances of working on a project you really like are pretty much non-existent, and the alternatives are not going to get you very exited.

Question. In your scenario... are you married? And how does that pan out for you?

Also, don't bash the feller who wants to be a computer programmer. First off, this is our "ideal" job we're talking about. Ideally, he'd only work on the things he wanted to... just like you'd only hardy-har with the people you wanted to, and still have someone cook you dinner when you get home. Second, this is the twenty-first century... it's getting easier and easier to get a higher-up position in a gaming firm, if you don't just start your own. Been on Kickstarter lately?

[Rosco P. Coltrane]

Oh, I don't want to discourage him at all. It's a nice profession. All I'm saying is: not everything is roses, don't get the idea that you'll work on cool projects or cool companies all the time, because you won't. That's why people have hobbies.

Married? Since this is about "ideal" things. My wife would be ok with it. We would have too beautiful, smart, children, son and daughter. I'd also had a enough money I made as a former software company CIO that I could travel the world helping other people... alas Bill Gates but with long hear and no glasses.

God of my own cult

In order:

Lottery winner whom invested millions of USD in the stock market and has since seen his investments quadruple. (Not going to happen because I don't play the lottery.)

Astronaut (pilot)

Pilot (anything else that will fly and won't get me killed)

Astronaut (anything else)

Aerospace engineer (thank you, KSP)

[Godot]

Software-Billionaire

I could work on (or sponsor) a lot of hobby projects (no matter whether programming related or not) without having to worry about the money

My dream job? His name is Whack. Whack Job.

[Klingon Admiral]

Immortal ruler of the universe

[Nephf]

SpaceX launch controler

[CaptainGiblets]

Some of these posts are funny. Keep 'em coming

[AtleSt]

my dream job is to be an game tester but not for horror games

[cesarcurado]

Military engineering.

Not the building replacement bridges kind of miltary engineering, the tank and gun designing military engineering.

I'd probably take a job as a pilot, doctor, engineer (of civilian applications) or soldier, realistically speaking.

People here aren't very interested in this kind of stuff, when Kalashnikov died people of my country called him a murderer, etc in news sites.

I've had a few 'dream jobs' that I've chased.

Currently my dream job is currently one that will allow me to pay my university loans and give me more KSP time. If anyone needs an MSc qualified/IOA accredited vibration engineer specialising in FE analysis of mechanical structures - I *AM* your man.
