What is the perfect occupation? For everyone asked that question, the response will be different. The range will be vast but I imagine some trends will become clear. Football or some form of sport will probably feature heavily (as long as it is accompanied by Premier League remuneration). Others will obviously revolve around the entertainment industry with many people wanting to be the singer or guitar players for their favourite band, tv or movie star and many men will want to be porn stars although how many female leads they will really find to ‘work’ with may turn out to be a disappointment.

For me, the response will have to involve being able to Work From Home since I have always hated journeying and I’ve worked at jobs that have involved being away from home for the week because of the distance beforehand and I absolutely don’t want to go back to that again.

Previous jobs that I’ve had that let me to Work From Home have included having an Internet Business where I had a record shop on eBay which was great fun, buying people’s old vinyl record collections and then selling the individual records although you quickly find that where Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin albums can go for a lot of money, you also wind up getting saddled with dozens of copies of Eurythmics, Bananarama and Wham! records. What I hadn’t calculated was the expense of relisting when records didn’t go first time around and eventually had to finish.

I’ve also had several Online Jobs which are perfect because the internet, software and technology that operate on it make it an excellent environment to start up as an Internet Business and people can Work From Home with basic technical abilities.

But I suspect that on the whole, I’d like a mixture. Some which pay rather well and these would most probably be Online Jobs of some description that would be fun to do such as Search Engine Optimisation, with the remainder of the time spent being a professional railway modeller. That sounds rubbish, but in fact involves a wide diversity of tasks from design, carpentry, electrical and structural engineering (a smaller scale obviously but much safer than the real thing) not to mention God like abilities to create a landscape and the features on it. A good model railway is often fantastic to behold and making one must come with an immense feeling of fulfilment. And of course, because it’s my ideal job I’d be the most famous in the world and can charge vast fees for my work.

I’d also like to be a professional cricket supporter which will involve travelling with the England team on tour around the hotter parts of the world in the UK winter. Having Online Jobs would obviously of course mean that I would be able to multitask by doing those simultaneously wherever I was in the world, so I could graciously demand lower fees for my services to the Barmy Army and make up the rest by working for my Internet Business.

But alas, the world doesn’t do it that way for the majority though of course many will say that their job to be their idyllic one. But for the remainder of us the only thing to do is to make the best of what we have. That is aimed at someone else by the way, not me as starngely enough I think I do have my idyllic job. So there!
