Quoted:
When I was growing up, my dad had the coolest job. He flew F-4s as a part time fighter weapons instructor for the Kansas air guard. I would ask him about his day, he'd say, "we did some dog fighting, then dropped some bombs, and did some areobatics the way back to the base." One day he was particularly proud, he managed to do a hammerhead stall in an F-4! He said it was tricky with a fighter because of the balance. It was hard to tell what way it would drop, sometimes over on it's back, sometimes it would nose over. He said the trick was to stomp on the rudder as the plane was loosing airspeed. I have trouble imagining a cooler job than that. This. Or surgeon. |

Quoted:
U-2 Chase vehicle driver. You get to drive a high performance car behind a U-2 while it's landing and help spot the pilot as he lands. That would also by definition make you a u-2 pilot as well since the spotters are all pilots themselves... Plus its not as glamorous as it sounds, they are not particularly high performance... they have a couple GTO's some G8's and some Camaro's. which I promise you is pretty much the polar opposite of what this thread is about. The u-2 is pretty unanimously regarded as the most single most difficult and unforgiving aircraft currently flying . The number of ways in which the aircraft is able to kill you js impressively long. The flight envelope, the block of airspeed in which an aircraft will be capable of maintaining controlled flight, called the q corner, or in the case of the U-2 the coffin corner, is a constantly changing narrow window of safe airspeed that a pilot must always maintain. In the u-2 over 90% of a typical mission which can often exceed 12 hours is flown within a window of 5 knots, something that is absolutely insane. The difficulty experienced by the pilots flying the U-2 led to it being known as the Dragonlady because of its extremely unforgiving nature with respect to pilot ineptitude or incompetence. Its not very often that you find a group of pilots who christen the official unofficial name of their aircraft as a cold hearted bitch with wings. Not exactly a morale booster that one. there are better gigs out there I promise |

Either you or someone you know. There's a guy at my church whose company will remain unnamed here... he's an explosives engineer... he gets paid to figure out how to blow stuff up, then he goes into the field to do it! THAT is the coolest job in the world! Wow cool. It would be fun to be the DJ at the strip club. |

I had a damned good job as a forest ranger supervisor in Cambodia. except for the snakes, mosquitoes, corrupt officials, and UXO, of course. Save elephants, capture poachers and drug dealers, and see things and go places VERY few human ever have. Take a bath at the top of a 100' waterfall one minute, chase after illegal loggers and corrupt soldiers another. Good times. Pay sucked, as did the living conditions, but it was worth it. I miss my guys. The honest ones, anyway. http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=38665 Do you, by any chance, drink Dos Equis? May I state, for the record, that this is the nicest thing anyone has said to me since "Please rape me!" by SWMBO? But, I must add, XX is OK, but SMB is better.

clarkson There are jobs I would much rather want to do, since I could care less about tv or broadcasting, but they all involve a large degree of real work. I would do anything to fly f-22's for aliving like what others ahve said, but almost no one on the planet has the awesomeness : lack of 'acutal work' style of work than clarkson. clarkson is the correct answer what did you do today? had a car chase through a shopping mall, tomorrow I'm going to storm a beach with the marines in a compact car

Some people need to read the OP again: It's for members or people that members know, not universally understood heroes or celebrities. I don't know what Major Brian Chontosh (Diesel_06) is doing these days, but I hope he's fucking Jeremy Clarkson's wife, stealing his cars, killing Taliban, and pissing in Karzai's Cheerios.
He is the epitome of a hard-charging, enemy-killing, Constitution-supporting, walking minefield of death, leader of Marines, and his loyalty has never been in question. He would of course obey his oath to serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States. It would just give me a little pleasure to know that he might choke on that last bit a little, but not too much. It still pisses me off he "only" got the Navy Cross, which is a tremendous honor in its own right. Semper Fi, MAJOR Chontosh! 
It ought to be Lieutenant Colonel by now. |

Professional musician. I know it's hard, it's hell. I have a few friends and aquaintences getting ready for album releases, tours etc, but the idea of playing music for a living sounds really appealing.
