A lot of federal jobs on there...I assume the benefits have something to do with your choices?
I don't really have a top ten myself. I usually just dream about having all of Bill Gates money and what I would do with it besides trying to spend a million dollars a day for the rest of my life.

I'm actually rather happy with the job I have now. Would love a little bit more money (I think I'm worth it ) but I control my own schedule, I do something I enjoy, no two days are exactly the same and I get to travel fairly frequently -- but whithout the regularity of an airline pilot (which I think would kill me).
The power of a political position (Sen., President, etc) would be nice -- and it would be nice if some of the things that were wrong with this country finally got fixed -- but I don't like people or public attention enough.
I honestly can't think of 10 other things I'd rather be doing at the moment.

No mentions of Concord... interesting and out of character. Has your account been compromised?
Maybe a slight exaggeration here, but any lawyer or law student who says they have not at some point dreamed of being on the Supreme Court is lying.

Quoting Phoenix9 (Reply 13): I guess Superfly and FLY2HMO haven't had a look at this thread yet!
Here's an idea: Let's start a porn website specializing in aviation women. You recruit the girls, Superfly does the camera, and I do the girls. Questions?

1-10. Tiger Woods. I know it's not a job, but it should be. No-one else gets paid $110 million to putt a white ball full of dimples, and a swedish model to come home to. no-one.
While I wouldn't mind making A-Rod type money, think more like the next Scott Fletcher (if anyone else remembers the Rangers from the late 1980s) Seriously, that's what I wanted to do since I was about 5. Ok, so sometimes I wanted to play third like Steve Buechele and I may be better suited to play second like Jeff Kunkel, but still...
