From a conversation this week: If money were no object, you could get any qualifications needed and wanted to work; what would your perfect job be and why?

I have actually had the perfect job, I woke up in the Bolivian Yungas every morning with the sound of Macaws and howler monkeys. Upon my arrival at the private outdoor pool, my spider monkey friends would hug me for warmth. After breakfast I would feed the capuchins, maybe work with the nervous monkeys to calm them down and let them know that despite their abuse as pets, they were now safe and humans were no threats to them. Nightfall we would retreat into the bar and party the night away, knowing we had a spider monkey hug to look forward to the next morning. Paradise on Earth

Gok Wan  Professional Coke taster? I'd say film critic but that would mean rom-coms... I'll say author. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

This. Sadly there's simply not enough demand to keep more than a couple of artisan swordsmiths in business in the UK.

My mate Steve worked as a curry taster once. He was sick of it within weeks.

For me, it's not the job that matters all that much, it's the people you work with.

My five year plan is to buy a pub and B&B somewhere nice and move out of London.
In the meantime I like the people I work with and enjoy my current job as telecoms engineer.

Now you're talking. The 'I'd get bored' lot are just suffering from a lack of imagination! _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

There is something to be said about working. A lot of people pass away not long after they retire and those that are retired need to do things to keep their brain going. _________________Still the official cheeky one

Not a problem for me, I'm happy so long as I have something to read lol. My grandfather went out walking for tens of miles everyday, he's 94 now. _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
