A job you enjoy?
If the salary really didn't matter, what job would you choose for a career?
Something you'd really enjoy doing 5 days a week. |

If salary didn't matter, I'd still do what I do... I'd just do it a little slower.
 BTW, I'm a self-employed residential building contractor.

I'd gladly go back to the railroad. Being an engineer was my dream throughout childhood, and I actually got to do it for about a year.

Hmmm, wiring tube amplifiers on rainy days, rebuilding TH400s with R&R on warm dry days, then when evening comes, discussing the Gospel in bars, with beef&beer.

Seriously though, as a mechanical engineer and a former combat engineer, I'd like a job designing weapons of some sort.
That, or Jessica Alba's pool boy would be fine by me. But she'd probably have to release the restraining order first.

I wouldn't mind doing what I do now- telephone repairman. Always moving around, no real stress, hardly ever see the boss and I'm always working with my hands.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
