Re: What job would you pick?
Seeing as I already party like a rock star......

Re: What job would you pick?
on a side note....I hung out with a traveling comedian a few weeks ago. I was in this tiny little ski town at a hotel. He did a gig at the hotel I was staying at. The comedian has to drive all over US and Canada on his own dime. He drives to small unknown towns and does comedy each night. Apparently he is on the road majority of the year....
It seemed kinda depressing.

Re: What job would you pick?
Well, the assumption on all of these options was that you would be a leader in your field. So if you were a comedian you would be at the least at a Brian Regan level or higher..
Jim Gaffigan
Dane Cook
Chris Rock.
Re: What job would you pick?
I would say that Movie Star gives the highest income with the least amount of work.
I was going back and forth between Movie Star and Indie Rock Singer. So I pondered these two options:
Lead singer of Death Cab For Cutie....get to marry Zooey, play shows, probably make 1 million a year.
Will Smith - make 30-50 million a year, work 6 months a year give or take.
TOUGH CHOICE.
Re: What job would you pick?
Indie rockstar, baby. Best of all worlds.
I'd rather have a hundred people love what I do than have a few million "kinda like" it.
Re: What job would you pick?
Roger Ebert has a sweet gig
Re: What job would you pick?
Anyone can be a DJ.
Re: What job would you pick?
Movie reviewer for sure. Get paid to sit at home and watch people entertain you. Nothing is expected from you either. You are the one that decides whats good or bad, not the other way around.
Re: What job would you pick?
Indie Rock star...seriously?
Shoot for the basement...

Sure. Do whatcha love, but stay small enough not to automatically be considered an asshole. I could live with that.

As long as I'm not an asshole...I could live with that.

Re: What job would you pick?
Couldn't find Director, so next best thing: DJ.
Chicken pot, chicken pot, chicken pot piiiieeeeeeeee!
Re: What job would you pick?
I was at a toss for this between Rock Star and Traveling Comedianne...Went for Rock Star thinking I'd end up with a 2 for 1 deal in the end.

Re: What job would you pick?
nothing that would take me away from my kids/family for long periods of time...so most of those are out, except for movie reviewer.
well, maybe a dj. leave for the weekend and make tens of thousands of dollars and still be home to take the kids to school on monday.
touring fucking sucks.
Re: What job would you pick?
Yeah, it does, but I'm a nomad soul with a flinty antisocial streak.
Like The Littlest Hobo, but I don't rescue people from seaplanes all the time.
Re: What job would you pick?
I always wanted to live out my failed dreams as a drummer in a mid level indie band.

Re: What job would you pick?
Pigeon Pancake already sounds like a band Pitchfork would love.
Re: What job would you pick?
yeah. wouldn't even have to make good music. it's all in the name.
Re: What job would you pick?
I absolutely don't care what Natalie Portman's Shaved Head sound like, they're still awesome.
Re: What job would you pick?
I've done the movie review thing for local and school papers and all you really get is free movie tickets and some spending money. I'd rather make movies but that wasn't a choice, so it would be a tie between indie rockstar and DJ. You get a fan base but won't get recognised as easily on the street.
Re: What job would you pick?
On the other hand, I'd say people feel a lot more comfortable approaching/ bothering indie types when they do recognise them, because there's a more immediate perception that they're "one of us".
