i describe success as not working.

Yup...that's what I did. Retired at 42 and do what I want now...which is usually...get high all day, every day. I have no ambition, never had, I only worked until I didn't have to any more. You can too if you have no debts. No mortgage/rent, no car payment, credit cards pain each month in full. What kills you is interest payments.

If I DID have to work...a reviewer...fine hotels, cruises, like that chick on the travel channel...except I'd be more like that other guy who goes to seedy restaurants...Bourdain or something...he's always got a cig in his hand. Just travel around and give places a thumbs up or down.

Good luck to you all...

Yeah, Anthony Bourdain, his show is called "No Reservations." That job would also be on my list.

He goes to countries and REALLY gets into the local grub...and also the local brews and herbal concoctions...:jump:...seeking the best the world has to offer, gastronomically. One of his shows he visited a country in South America, a jungle nation, and sampled the hallucinogenic brew called ahajuasca(sp?) in the company of a local shaman. Bourdain would fit right in with the IC community.

One of the best parts about his show is that he really tells it like it is, if he doesn't like a particular dish or drink, he lets the audience, and his tour guide!, know. So many of these food reality shows now just praise whatever gets put before them, which is BS.

I think if you turn something you love into your job, you won't love it as much. Hobbies and work should remain separate in roder to keep the love for the hobby pure.

That said, I would like my hobby to be sitting around in my underwear counting money. (Tips hat to Jesse James for that great one-liner.)

For work, I'd like to be the reasearch guy for a shop that builds hot rods/musclecars, selecting parts and spending other peoples money. I do that now, except its in IT.

Lazyman, I gotta disagree, I have always made my passion my hobby and job. If you love it enough you'd want to do it all day,

not everyone has a passion they can be consumed in.

owning a dispensary,
getting to puff everything that comes through the door,
finding quality stashes for patients,
just dealing with the supply side would be ideal,
bringing down the prices locally would be a bonus

No wait, I've got it:

Retired (or fired, since it won't matter) hedge fund manager.

Those guys make tens of millions a year, and usually get a ridiculous "golden parachute" worth millions a year for a long time, or $50M and a jet to get out.

No work, tons of money, and powerful connections. Beats bein a mob boss I guess, nobody out to kill you really.
