Brother, Can You Spare Your Two Cents?

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." -- Confucius

"Kill my boss? Do I dare live out the American dream?" - Homer Simpson


I've blogged a bit about the value of idling, and the need not to gorge on work. But what about the people who enjoy their work so much it doesn't feel like work? What of them?

Well, these people should kneel and kiss the ground, because Fortune has smiled generously upon them. They are lucky, but perhaps not great in number, if these statistics are to be believed. (Though I know there at least a couple of these charmed folks who read this blog.)

To those who aren't so fortunate at present: What about you? What occupation would be so enjoyable to you that it wouldn't be work?

Note: Your answer doesn't have to be practical, realistic, or likely. If your dream occupation were any of those things, you'd be doing it already. (And if you are, tell us that too.)

So cough it up. Don't be shy.
