Do you work to live or live to work?

Many people move on to less enjoyable job just for the money.

So, if every job paid the same, what would you be doing?

if i can make a living out of being kind to people, that would be great coz i'm good at it... not to blow my own horn though :lol: :lol: :lol:

seriously, if i could run an internet forum and get paid for it, then that owuld be cool...

something more realistic would be to run a breakfast/lunch cafe...

I think I'll be up on the swiss alps looking after cows, doing cheese and butter
It's a damn hard job but the feeling of freedom that you get up to the mountains is unbelievable.

Maybe i'd be looking after the cow keeper then

I do agree though, I've been walking around in the alps. Its amazing..

My dad also say that Himalaya is amazing but i don't think you'll ever see me walking there on a free choice :P

I'd be the tourist guide of my apartment for under 21-year old sex mad Russian girls. Once a month.

if you think playing music is a dream job, you likely haven't had that job yet. that is, many musicians would much prefer surfing or whatever most days to playing in oklahoma city or wherever's next on tour, regardless of how many people will show. (you may have meant production, or songwriter, but those gigs have their issues too).

I'd still be an architect, but I'd never do another project I don't really like just to pay the bills!

I'd still be a music teacher. The way I've got it set up offers the best of everything for my phase in life (more money would be nice though). :D
