Just for fun....

If there were no obstacles of any kind, what would you want to do for a living? An astronaut, an engineer, a race car driver, a fry cook at McDonalds or the a** inspector at a high-end tittie bar?

But really, a professional race car driver would definitely be at the top of my list. Not Nascar or Indy, but Rally and Baja racing would be my choice. Always exciting, never repetitive.

That actually sounds like fun. Hospitality is a non-stop nightly adventure.

I would seriously just move into one branch and then travel from one to another anytime I need to get stuff done. Now I just need the capital.

I'd love to be one of the first Martian "colonists".

Or, more down-to-earth, I'd like to own my own auto company. I'd build supersedans and nothing else. I'd also love to own my own game development studio.

I'd want to be a mattress tester. Or the guy that presses the red button which launches the crash test car into the walls.

That would depend on the individual car. There are certainly a lot of appealing motors already in existence, but it all comes down to what a specific car needs.

Suspension/chassis design @ lotus-ish type manufacturer.

As much fun as race car driver sounds, I think it would be more fun to just play around in good cars built exactly to my liking. As a race driver you have to go fast first, have fun second... and some times I would just rather play.

Well, you could always be their accountant. In the factory but tucked away at a desk.

You could actually make a lot of money if you were the first person to invent a ballon.

It would be much more lucrative then just blowing up balloons.

I always wanted to be a professional baseball player. I played from 1st grade all the way through high school. Loved it then, still love it now, although I am not as much into it as I used to be.

Also, drummer in a successful rock band.

Or, yeah...hotel chain owner.

Same story here. Sucks just leaving 16 years of your life

Dream job, not sure. Something involving two chicks at one time.

Oh, I know... Passenger of the Bang Bus! Don't want to be the camera man or driver, their job sucks. The passenger is where it's at!

I've never thought that dream and job should go together, a job is a job, ugh, now a profession would be a better word. I wouldn't mind doing what Chip Fose does, redesigning old cars and turning them into art. I like the wheels he does but can't aford them.

Video Game Design - for any company except EA Games...

I'd also love to race cars, but in reality I'm stupid about competition so I'd wind up wrecking more cars than actually win races. So I'd much rather be a Automotive Tester, after all how cool would it be to be on a show like Top Gear (or Top Gear itself).

Mercenary, bottom line I hate people, so if someone paid me to go into warzones and kill people that would totally rock.

In the end I always loved the military when I was a kid, so I went into the Army, blew some stuff had some fun, wasn't all it's cracked up to be so I got out, now I want to go back in and do a different job because I miss it. I've ALWAYS wanted to be a cop, so now I'm trying to be cop. Who knows I may actually pull some of you over one day, realize your on NICO and let you go cause I'm cool like that.

An artist.

I'm a 4th generation artist from my pops' side, but much of the world has lost it's appreciation for art, so making a living off of it isn't an option these days.

I am growing hydroponically. It's a small setup, but i'll give some input.

It is more work then it's worth.

I better way to do it would be to use soil that is devoid of nutrients and add everything yourself. I have several plants that are in low nutrient soil. I water them with a vegetative hydroponic mixture. They are much easier to maintain and produce that same yield...

I think it would be pretty cool to work for a race team. My friend Klevis work for Subaru with their Koni Challenge team. He's been to so many great tracks, and he gets all these awesome motorsports opportunities. But honestly, anything that pays well and doesn't have ridiculous hours/lots of stress would be great (aka not what my intended major is LOL).

That's a little unnecessary... I wish I had an ounce of artistic talent. I can barely print, let alone draw.

I already grow hydroponically. Right now I only have a couple plants. Tomato and Lemon tree are the two main ones going right now. I am surprised the lemon tree is even alive still. I started it from seed so its like 1.5" tall.

I personally do bubble buckets and prefer the plants to take in as much nutrients as they can. I may one day get back into using soil-less perlite mixtures. I love coco coir and hydroton more than using soil.

Most people think hydro is more work which is debatable but soil has more problems in general, especially when it comes to pests.
