A professional partier; when I'm not at work I'd be sleeping or relaxing.

I'd love to be a comedy writer. I would also love working with animals, maybe as a dog breeder/trainer or something. Neither of these are very practical, but if I already had money...

I think many of you miss the point of the thread - what would you do as a job if income didn't matter. That is are you doing something for a job now for the money or since it is what you most want to do. Sitting on your rear on the beach is fun but it doesn't answer the question.

For me, I'd work at a zoo/animal shelter and play with all the animals.

As I said, rally driver. ;)

Road course racing (ie not ovals) would be fun too..

I think I'd be a student forever. I love learning, but with an unlimited supply of money I could do it just for the sake of doing it rather than for a grade. I'd also do a lot more volunteer stuff. I used to do a lot more but it's fallen off in the last few years.

Buy a nice house, tons of computers, books, movies, CDs, pornos, a few cars, and just live. That kind of lifestyle wouldn't bore me at all because presently it is my lifestyle.

EDIT: Why the fvck would I want to work? Seriously, the only reason I would work is if I had to support myself. It seems like the job you want is just for socializing. Pssh.
