    Earning close to or above 6 figures for the past few years
    Travelled around a bit
    Occasional working from home
    I've worked 1 weekend in 6 years
    Feck all stress (although I don't tend to stress out anyway)
    I even enjoy what I do most of the time
    Coffee's for closers

        Spent two weeks mucking around with a chainsaw and axe in a friends forest a wee while ago, great fun but not a potential career move.

        Mix IT and music as I do and in my opinion I have the best possible job. Getting paid to do what started as hobbies is just brilliant
        Me, me, me...

          How the hell do they think HR or being a software engineer is the best job in the world? HR, seriously?

          Just off the top of my head, what about being:
          - A pornstar
          - Party planner/greeter
          - Caretaker of exotic islands (like that one a while back in AUS)
          - Food/beer tester

            You'd make a great fluffer.
            Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

              High risk of infection plus piracy has taken the profit out of it.

              - Party planner/greeter
              Would involve having to pretend to like everyone and be constantly happy

              - Caretaker of exotic islands (like that one a while back in AUS)
              Rare as hens teeth and if the job went then its unlikely you'll get another one like it

              - Food/beer tester
              Very specialised and definitely a no-no if you smoke

                    Ewww no. I cant watch penetrative porn at all, hate men in porn. Much prefer solo stuff.

                    However I wouldnt mind doing it myself so long as I didnt have to watch it back.
