people say do what you like and turn it into your profession. i find it hard to think of something to do constantly that would be fun enough to not consider it work.

please name some that you think.

 

Game development/Level editing...

 

I don't think people mean "do something fun," when they say that kind of thing. I think people mean do something that makes you feel like you accomplished something at the end of the day.

 

My job is completely UNREWARDING!!!!! I get paid pretty decent to mostly not work too hard....but.....

at some point I would like to retire so to speak and take a job that made me smile, helped other people, etc...... not sure what it is, but being a bean counter sure as hell ain't it.

 

Those who truly enjoy what they do didn

 

Yeah, bean-designing (engineering) gets old, too.

My wife and I decided that people in their 20s never seem to win the lottery. I thinks it's because they believe they still have a shot to be rich on their own. So I'm going to play those odds and start playing. I think it's a guaranteed strategy

Then I'll do something I enjoy.

 

I was a music teacher for 6 years. Incredibly rewarding when I got to work with students and really get down to teaching.

The trick was actually being able to teach. . . but there's plenty of discussion on that in the Politics Forum.

 

Being a race car driver would be a hell of a job.

 

Having met a few drivers now, it's definitely hellish, but rewarding.

Much like my former career, the actual "job" is rewarding, but getting the money. . . well. . . ahhh. . . that's the sticky wicket.

 

I own and run an environmental services firm. I thoroughly enjoy what I do. I get paid to solve problems, I'm always learning something new, I spend a lot of time outdoors, I get to play in the dirt with big toys (drill rigs, mobile labs, excavators, etc.), and I'm doing something positive for God's green earth. My job is very rewarding.
