  • Giant Robot Pilot (or any other sort of 'mech)
    I'd want to do this also, but only if they are Battletech mechs. I WANNA BE A MECHWARRIOR!
    Space Battleship Crew (Yamato, Macross, etc.)
    Wouldn't you rather the Soyokaze?

  • Prostitute tester?

    Oh wait...

    THESE. ALL OF THESE!!!

    That job comes with some pretty strict rules.

    What is that comic, anyway?
  • Oglaf.
    The same artist also draws Platinum Grit, which I've only read a bit of, but seems pretty cool.

    For a fantasy sex comedy, that is actually really funny. Mad props to the author for maintaining integrity.

    Yeah, totally. It's really high quality. I used it as a thing of the day a while back, after months of casually debating with myself whether or not I should. :)
  • F-Zero racer.
  • Aramaki's job.
    Or, before I'm old, The Major's.
    Aramaki's job isn't so much a fantasy though, is it?
    A government high ranking, competent, dedicated, incorruptible Astro-boy with nearly unlimited authority to use paramilitary forces to resolve dangerous situations?
  • competent, dedicated, incorruptible
    That isn't exactly in the job description.

    That is entirely within the realm of possibility; just not in the USA.
  • That isn't exactly in the job description.
    That's Section 9's job description, effectively. I don't believe any nation in the world has a unit like that designed for domestic action, especially one with an independent chain of command.

    Give me one example of a nation that has a similar position. ^_~

    North Korea probably does.
  • North Korea probably does.
    I somehow doubt it would have a chain of command independent of the ruling government, however. A North Korean Aramaki wouldn't have the authority to investigate, say, the party, or the supreme leader.

    True, but Section 9 didn't exactly get away scot-free.

    Yes it would. In fact, it already has investigated the supreme leader. The findings of the investigation were that the supreme leader is even better and more perfect than we thought he was.

    But at least the means used to hinder Section 9 were themselves illegal.

    We shouldn't spoil anything in the show, but note that, if everyone but the actual bad guys followed the law as written, none of that would have been an issue. The "bad" guys had to use flat-out illegal means to fight back.

    Imagine if we had a president, and we also had an unelected "president-watcher" whose sole job was to ensure that at no point in the president's chain of command were there shenanigans.
  • An out of the way position at the Unseen University with lots of free time to muck about, eat cheese, and generally do silly things with magic. Preferably a position in which no one would notice or care if I was AWOL for long periods of time.

    I'd be a perpectual student there. Learning magic, avoiding student loans, etc.
  • being a companion.
    Wait, you mean like

  • My dream job would be to get paid for being a musician. I just want to play my instruments (flutes!,) play all kinds of different music, do lots of cool concerts, etc., and just have fun with it. Too bad being a successful professional musician is almost impossible (due to the sheer number of other people trying to do it too).
  • Wait, you mean like
    image?
    NO! Not like THAT!
    Heh, I guess I haven't watched enough Doctor Who, because I totally thought you meant like that. I thought, "Bold choice, but I can respect it."
  • If you think about it, Firefly actually makes a pretty good argument for how legalized prostitution could work.
  • A job. Any job. For Christ sake, England, this is just getting silly.
  • Ghost doctor.
  • Ghost doctor.
    Doctor to Ghosts, Doctor who is a ghost, or is it an either/or proposition?
