personally I would like to be the sound effects guy for comic books.
all i'd have to do is make up stuff like WHUMP! and SPER-KLAAAAAANG! it doesn't even have to match up to how anything would sound in real life.

anyways what silly thing do you wish you could do for a living

I would be a dream planner, getting all the actors in place and the scripts aligned for when each person goes to bed at night. If I don't like someone they're gonna get a werewolf dream. Spooky

I always wanted to be a teacher or a professor because I lack ambition and like watching people learn, but that is boring.

For a silly dream job, I always wanted to be a musician.

I actually just got one of my many dreamjobs but my dreamjobs aren't glamorous, they're just lazy and pay well

I'm getting $15/hour to basically sit on my computer at home, read a sentence and then click an appropriate button over and over for 40-60 hours a week.

He comes to town.
And you don't lay money down.

Yet Mr. King,
He killed the thread
The other day.
Well I wonder.

My dream job would be to read books and edit said books. I would prefer to read nonfiction books from academics who know how to write with a good narrator's voice and proper punctuation.

That way, I can learn about the world while educating the educated about the proper use of "they're," "their" and "there."

My dream job is probably either a pop science / science journalism writer (could still happen!), being the next Bill Nye and having kids about svience in fun and approachable ways (could still happen!) , or an arborist. But most other arborists are macho dudes who love trucks and cutting stuff and they're nice and all but they don't love trees as much as i do, so arborist only if i could work with the more hippie arborists i guess.
