NFT: your ideal job

Being the G.C. or G.M. of the Football Giants. It's been my dream since I was 14.

I hate my job. I like the people I work with, money's okay, but I hate the field I'm in. But I also know it's better to have this than to not have a job and it's also a stepping stone to where I want to be: with the NY Football Giants.

until the company decided arm chair captains knew more than I did.

My ideal job would be Secretary of Defense. No chance in hell I get it....

John Mara running Jins Central.

And the monthly quick-connect with Accorsi to listen to his stroll down memory lane...

Later this year or next. And with that much higher unemployment. So these conversations are fun... but savor what you have in the near term.

I think I would be very good at it

I just love that stuff

on a Carribbean island. I am my own boss, work when I want to, take time off when I want to, enjoy the island life.

And not have to worry about money

for the Yankees. I was at Wrigley and the interpretor for Tanaka was out shagging fly balls during B.P. How cool is that.

and there are two answers to this. One that is realistic and one that is a dream...

Realistic - Get a job as a compliance manager for Marriott where I travel the world for them helping to improve struggling properties

Dream - Get paid by the state of Florida to help promote tourism by fishing every day and creating fishing and travel videos for them.

Sometimes, you don't realize that you are in your ideal job until you are no longer. That was the case with me.

I spent spring breaks in St. Croix diving. After graduation, I decided to take an extended vacation before joining the rat race. Never considered the possibility of working in the islands. I was just there to soak it up for awhile. The one guy who knew me from the previous years trips was talking with me the one night asking what I was doing for so long. Most visitors are there for a week to 10 days at most. He ended up introducing me to the owner the next day and I had a job as a dive guide. It was a good life.

we stayed a couple nights at the Four Seasons and there was a "resident marine biologist" there who's job was to basically take guests snorkeling in the lagoon pointing out fish. If I could do that and fly seaplane charters between the islands I think I'd be ok with that.

Seeing the world. Of course I would be terrified of actually flying a plane....

But for a long time I hated my job. Sometimes it’s not the work, or the people you with, it can be the industry and the people you work for. (If there’s any young people reading this, I implore you, don’t ever work for a big law firm if you’re not a lawyer.)

Now I work for a great company, progressive and socially responsible, and even though it’s the same type of work, the environment and mission make all the difference in the world.

+1.

Not my dream per se but at a nickel or heck even a penny per, I could clean up nicely.

Imagine, your whole life you would only have one bad meal...

sampler.

in Key West. I know how lucky I am

If I had to do it again... I’d go in communications/broadcasting.

And be Jim Nantz.

NFL
NCAA tourney
Masters

Lot of the summer off.

We share the same Dream...I've worked in football operations at collegiate level. What do you currently do?

Historical documentaries

Walking in the woods, eating chicken wings and drinking beer

Hope the pay is good!

I'm a tour guide in an aviation museum, and although it's just a volunteer job, it's been the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Been there for 10 years, and meeting people from all walks of life, imparting the history of aviation and the various planes in our collection, and meeting so many people who worked on or flew warbirds in combat....it's been a helluva ride, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for me. I'm 70, and hopefully, I'll be able to continue this 'job' for many more years.

In my own shop

Did you see the employment numbers released this morning? A recession will come, it is inevitable, but not any time soon. This economy is on fire.

Yep. I was a deckhand in HS and sometimes in college(for a kid the best paying job). Great job. Went back and occasionally ran a cruise boat for the same family which I absolutely loved. Still one of the best jobs I ever had, although Chief Mate on a ship was my favorite.

find a way to monetize procrastinating and underachieving I think I could do really well for myself and as a bonus I would feel fulfilled professionally.

I'd have a career doing something I'm passionate about.

That's not nothing.

Run for Congress?

.

I have no clue how to do it. I hate working for other people and have a few business ideas.

I mean I remember what JonC and others told me when I needed career advice: take some risks. Take some chances. Especially if you have the means to.

And it's never too late.

that's my ideal job

Money for Nothing.....and your chicks for free.

Career, jobs, women, you name it. The best things in life generally find you when you're taking risks.

I wish I'd taken more in my 20s and 30s. I was a proper hellion before I had to jump into my career, and it rocked.

66. still loving life. Have enjoyed the ride.

What's your elevator pitch? How do you stand apart from the rest?
