The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Whats your dream or favorite occupation?

I'm already a teacher, so I don't need to dream of that. :p  I don't really have a dream job.  I just went and found something I liked, went through all the schooling and certification exams, and it got me where I am.  I think a lot of people's "dream jobs" are more like "dream hobbies", not something I'd see a reason to pay someone to do that.

I'm studying to become a pharmacist, but it's not really my dream job. I don't have one. Chemistry is interesting and it pays off well. All natural sciences pay off well, because not that many people choose to pursue a career in these fields, like they do in for example law and economics. When I get a job (most likely in a drug store) I will have lots of money to use in pursuing some of my other interests.

That shouldn't be too hard for you.

A park ranger specializing in interpretation (i.e. leading campfire talks, hikes, and wildlife watches).  I've got all the qualifications, and now all I need is for NPS to hire me for good :yes.  There are a few places that have taken an interest in my resume, so while I wait to hear back from them I continue to keep applying for jobs ;).

Internet Marketer.  Technically I currently am one, but I have a lot more to learn.  I can rank websites for lower competition keyphrases pretty easily, but I still need to study design, ad placement, keyword research, and competition analysis in much greater depth than I'm currently doing.  I just started Internet Marketing less than 6 months ago but over time I'll become better and better at things.  I'm running 28 websites concurrently and collecting data based on what I'm doing.  

I have a website ranking on page 1 for "berry smoothie recipe" which gets 1,300 searches per month, and a website on page two for "dog grooming" which gets a hell of a lot more than 1,300 let me tell you!  Then I've got my own computer repair website ranking on the first page of Bing and Yahoo for 13 different keyphrases.  I started Internet Marketing with my computer repair website and I've just went from there.  I hope to someday become a great Internet Marketer.

I did make a pitch to go into Film Production with my undergrad degree but sadly it didn't work out (lack of contacts and opportunities). I haven't completely given up on it, it's all on the backburner, but I would really like to get in on some proper A-list movie making. T'would be awesome! :D

I want to write both comics and novels. I'm doing a webstory which can be read on my Deviantart account and I'm also doing a webcomic. Now I just need to have confidence in getting my stuff published.

Since my imagination is usually off the rocker, I'd like to have a job that would allow me to use it, especially when it comes to creating characters and stories. I guess that would be a screenwriter or something...
It would take a degree in Creative Writing to do.

10 years ago, my dream job was building roller coasters. 8 years ago, my dream job was producing video games. 6 years ago, my dream job was becoming an actor and or singer. Now, I don't really know what my dream job is. At this point, my dream job is something that I will be happy with; one that I may use to help support myself and my family if and when I have one.

I'd say my dream would be to become an animator. I'm best with traditional styles, like cel-animation and stop-motion. Just a shame that traditional 2D animation studios are nearly impossible to find nowadays.

Either that, or a voice-actor.
