What is your DREAM job?

[xj_dummy]

I am currently in close to my dream job.........I drive trucks. BIG trucks. The only thing that would make my job better is if it was ALL drop and hook and I got paid a little more (I get $18.50/hr now) and worked a little less (I work about 45 to 50 hrs a week now). Anything over 40 is time and a half of course ($27.75/hr).

 

 

SO dream job, all drop and hook, OTR, massive money, and my sweetie along side me as co-driver so the truck never stops moving.

:agree: Cool another OTR Driver

:dunno: So, um, where is the $18.50 hour job at?

I work out of Kent, WA for DS Waters (the tractors and trailers are sublime green and I call them big green uglies) but it pays the bills and I work at night (NO CUSTOMER INTERFACE) so it's all good for now. In a few years when my sweetie decides to stop being a locksmith and gets his cdl then we'll go back out OTR.

:agree: That's great.

My wife and I were thinking on doing FEDEX Custom Critical, owner operator expedited freight. But this past march I suffered a broken rib and torn shoulder due to a bad fall. The trailer was red tagged for a broken floor but someone sent it out anyway. This was with J.B. H :rant:nt

I tripped and fell onto my right side. :wall:

Currently I'm waiting a surgery date.

Had a friend that worked in the office of JB Hunt Sumner Ramp........She worked there for 5 years then the company eliminated her position without warning company wide.

dream job?

 

I have absolutely no idea. I'm only 21, and really don't care much about work to be honest.

 

that said, I HATE my job. it could be worse, it could be better. I install/service coca-cola machines at resteraunts such as McDonalds etc. it sucks, and I hate soda syrup. Only doing this job so I can pay off school and my debts and get back to square one...which I'm pretty close to doing.

I'm with the job until my summer job starts back up...I lifeguard. used to teach swim lessons, but decided I don't like kids enough to teach someone else's kid to flounder around in the pool, so I haven't turned in my past year and a half worth of swim lessons paperwork to the Red Cross. this means that my certs for WSI will expire. Don't get me wrong, I want to have kids, and already even thought of names and how many...I love kids, just not 50 kids a day 5 days a week.

 

I work on vehicles...from snowmobiles, quads, motorcycles, etc. to Jeeps and even some imports. however, I don't like working on OTHER people's vehicles, unless they're a good friend. I have anxiety issues; when something goes wrong, I get frustrated and angry, and simply cannot cope. it's best at that point to take a break, which is why I like working on my own things; I can take a break and not get fired for taking 15 hours on a 10 hour job. so, mechanics on a professional level is out.

 

I was a marine bio major, then realized that I enjoy scuba diving and keeping an aquarium, but wouldn't want to do it every day of my life. so, I finally went to see my advisor and low and behold, I didn't realize that I have a minor in Spanish from walking in the door at UW-Whitewater and taking a test, then completing two jerk-off classes.

 

matter of fact, I'm 5 classes from a major in Spanish. so, that's what I will do. couple that with a minor in criminal justice, and I can tell all the illegals to leave our country in their own language, or promote large dispersal of green cards; I'm not too sure on my stance there yet.

 

so, it boils down to this;

 

I don't care what I do for a living. The only things I care about when it comes to a job, is that I start at a certain time, end at a certain time, and when I leave work, I leave work AT work. work following me home doesn't appeal to me. I also must have two full days off (read days...normal hours) a week. none of this switching schedules left and right like I'm currently doing....I haven't had a full weekend in 4 weeks...leaving everything to get done on saturdays.

 

sorry for the bitterness guys

dream job? which one? i work at a gold mine as a mine operations leadman and get to play in the dirt with REALLY BIG TOYS and run the crew of about 20 plus people when the pit shifter is unavailable, in my off time, i run on the ambulance here as an

EMT, i'm also the training officer for our local volunteer fire dept, so i get to play with fire....and before: i was an exploration driller, poking holes in the ground looking for gold, silver, copper... you get the idea, and when i was in the Navy: i worked in intel... so now my dream job is a really complicated one: just playing with the grand kids, all 20 of them. by the way: thanks to all the military people out there. we wouldn't be here if not for them.

almost forgot: i would have put the dream job of building jeeps all day in a big jeep junkyard, but, the wife said she'd divorce me if i did that..... hmmmm..... anybody know a good lawyer?
