tugrikI consider myself to be in that rare and lucky position of being paid for doing things I really like to do. Sure, I may have the annoying co-worker or light-brained boss to deal with, but I really do like my job. That being said, I still have a 'dream job' I wish I had:
Gadgetology Expert and Advocate
Duties Include: Studies of emergening technologies. Extensive field-testing of new devices and new methods of doing everyday things. Responsible for finding ways to make technology developers and end-users fall in love again, encouraging the romance between daily-life duties and tech-toys.
Skills Required: A playful nature is required. Ability to translate between Geek and Normal Human a must. Fluency in marketroid-blather and salesdork-speak (to help defend the consumer from the dark sides of industry trying to serve it) would be a plus. Must not be embarrased to try the silliest of new gadgets, taking the pointlessness of light-up spinning toothbrushes in stride with the more useful navigation and communication devices. A keen sense of how over-the-top uneccessary features can be mapped into actual useful products would be helpful too. The skills to disassemble things to their raw components is only desired if the candidate can also reassemble things to original condition.
Salary: Enough to keep the survivables going, with a small bit over, and all the gadgets you can stand.
Don't mind me... I'm just in a silly mood, and a bit excitable about an incredible storm headed my way this weekend. *watches the sky in anticipation*
