[Hello Kitty]

are you in the oil brokerage biz? a guy my bro knows works down in houston, told me he made $25MM this year.

Fixed Income (bonds) Specialist

I sell mortgage-backed securities but specialize in inverse floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) to individuals and institution clients.

I wanted to get into the energy trading gig but that’s a bigger “who you know not what you know” good ol’ boy hook up worse than the industry I’m in.

In the early 90’s if you could hold a phone and fog a mirror you could make serious bank in the industry that I’m in I worked in an office where the top 5 sales men made between 3 to 5 million a piece and one company had a genius that made 17 million in one year.

Right now we got maybe 3 guys that are gonna make seven figures this year and the rest in the mid six figures. However I’ve heard good energy traders can make much more bank than this the problem is for every person that makes big bucks ten fail outa the business.

you got that right. it's like a fraternity from the '50s, from what i've seen...

 

[HRDTLBRO]

A bike messenger. How cool would it be to ride through NYC, weaving in traffic on a fixie, and getting paid! I'd also find it cool to be a link between so many different people, also a good way to get connections. I'm hoping to start my own frame shop, that would be cool. I'd like to stay on the east coast, but college and all year riding may lead me westward. Or join my brother as an Architect in California. If all else fails, I'm going to be the street corner pimp of the universe.

 

[narlus]

dream job would probably be john peel's. that was a great gig.

[Morryjg]

My dream job has no responsibility, no one to report too, I work from home & I get paid via direct deposit.

-or-

"I thought I wanted a career, turns out all I want is a paycheck"

 

[Fathead]

I wanna be a consultant, like Dogbert.

I have a cool job, but it's a little mundane.

I like my part-time teaching job. . . it would be fun to do full-time, but would be a big pay cut.

I would like to do something very positive for the community, like police officer or minister, but in addition to the pay cut there might also be issues with my intense love for alcoholic beverages.

OK running a hunting/fishing lodge with its own restaurant/brewpub: I have to be independently wealthy first though, so that I can take off whenever I want, tell customers to "go screw" if I want, and not turn a lot of things I really enjoy into something I slave at just to feed my kids.

 

[Cash-Money]

i'd like to own, operate, and work at a custom autoshop. built custom vehicles, pimp stuff out, i'd liek to have a dirt/paved track on premises for testing/fun/renting out/etc

Def. Pro photographer. Hopefully it goes that way. Just gotta keep it up.

 

[bigginsr]

anything but retired....................

 

[Enginerd A2]

At this point, I'd settle for just about anything. Any Monkeys want to help an unemployed brotha out? BSME University of Michigan, competent machinist, good with CAD, FEA, the list goes on.... There are no good jobs in Detroit.
I might go back to school to be a physics teacher. Rant over.

 

[manziman]

My future occupation: In between jobs.

 

[bmxr]

...the jobs i would like most in no certain order really.

Property Management Company Owner
Expedition Climatalogist
Professional Adventure Photographer (that actually makes money)
Writer
Product R and D tester for some cool company that i like
Test Driver for Road and Track magazine

ok your turn now

Property management? That's bizarre (ask me how I know ) I like what I do, but it doesn't hold a candle to some of the more "extreme" jobs.

I would like to fill the recent opening as staff editor for Sport Rider magazine, but only AFTER they move to the east coast. No job is worth going to LA Same goes for the car mags.

I would like to fly military aircraft (if I had better eyesight). I would probably never get shot down in anything fast and sophisticated like a Super Hornet, but I'd be willing to fly an A-10 or an Apache if it was offered. neaky:

Marketing and Promotion for American Honda (motorcycles). LA again :mumble:

Team manager for any factory AMA pro team in any major discipline (superbike, FX, SS, SM, MX).

If I was a rich trust-fund baby or a mega lottery winner, I would like to open a motorsports complex like VIR, only in North Carolina. There would be at least garages, a road course and a kart/supermoto course.

As for bicycles, I'd rather keep that as just a hobby, so no "Whistler guide" or "bike shop owner" for me

 

[Serial Midget]

My dream job involves boxes, barcodes and handheld infrared scanners.

 

[Spitfired]

Anything as long as I own it.
I don't want to be some corporate tool.

[Acadian]

Quality Assurance Engineer for Trojan.

 

[stevew]

When I was younger working at the old 9:30 club in DC would have been cool.

Right now, I don't know.

 

[llkoolkeg]

When I was younger working at the old 9:30 club in DC would have been cool.

You mean that long hallway right around the corner from the porn store? Back then, the new 9:30 was called WUST Hall. I saw Fishbone, Living Colour, Bad Brains and a whole bunch of other cool acts there.

 

[genpowell71]

I do the army thing. Where else can you retire after 20 yrs of service and get half your pay plus free medical for the rest of your life. And I'll be 40 when I retire so I can start another career after this one.

 

[corey_rideDC]

ah, 930 F st ... shudder to think, jawbox, fugazi, gvsb, man or astroman... most of the best shows i've ever seen were there. that neighborhood is actually pretty nice now, chinatown looks like georgetown, where is this city going?

 

[bmxr]

I hate those bastards. used to work in a fitness club full of 'em. pissed me off...

Nice.

Yuppie businessman here... I just don't understand the animosity. It's a sad thing when you only see people as a stereotype instead of as people. A lot of those guys may have been dicks, but you are taking the intellectual easy-way-out in categorizing them as "yuppies", blaming the stereotype, and "hating" them.

 

[Slugman]

Quality Assurance Engineer for Trojan.

You do realize that they test those things by filling them with air... hope you have strong lungs and like the taste of latex! neaky:

So is Smash records still in Georgetown? Orpheous records still there?

I think the last show I went to at the 9:30 club was New Years 91 with Mudhoney.

Between 87-91 I saw about 150 different bands. 99% in that armpit.
My miss spent youth.

I saw the Bad Brains/Leeway at the old place. One day I would like to make it to the new place.

Every show I saw there was cool.

Most of all, I don't want to be a generic yuppy business man.

So basically, you want to be a slave to your own business...work 24/7/365 and get old and grey before you should, stress over how much your employees are ripping you off and worry about the next quarters numbers, and the next and the next...

Seriously, a 9-5 (in my case a 7-4) isn't all that bad.
