if you had your house paid off and had a couple hundred grand in the bank, and didnt need to work where you do to pay the bills, what would you do as a job, something you actually enjoy where money is not the factor??

i might work at a golf course for 4 or 5 hours a day, then golf the rest of the day...

I would definitely go back to doing art. It would be nice to be able to do it and not have to worry about money.

I would spend time working on my photography and see if I could make some sort of money selling my pictures (ofcourse, it would involve travelling etc)

I have a friend who is a NHL goal judge, easiest job in the world, the ref goes up stairs all the time, and if you make questionable calls you get phone calls from the Edmonton GM...Only pays like 10$/h, but you get a free parking pass and a meal. Some of the playoff perks are pretty good to.

I would want to be a golf marshal, lots of free golf, and you get to watch other people make fools of themselves...

I'd run a fruit stand on a beach in Costa Rica. Surf all morning, hang out and smoke the ganja all day, surf all afternoon. I would be a world class burnout.

If money wasn't an issue at all for me, I'd just go to school and get all of the degrees, masters and PhDs in areas that interest me (everything except Mgmt)

I'm a geek.

Lol, I guess I lived out your 'dream' last summer! Though the 4-5 hours on a golf course were between 5-11 am... so I was pretty tired for the golf

Suppose my dream job would be dictator of some small country that I could mould into a utopia... I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard.

I'd love to work in the media. I'd likely get labeled as a face for radio, so my dream job would be being the voice of the Calgary Flames. I'd love to just cover hockey and travel around with the team on the road. Of course the hours would still be long and I'd be away from home a lot but I think I would love the job too much. Even being one of the low paid D.J's or sportsguys who did his 5 sportscasts a day would seem like a fun job to me without too much stress. Who wouldn't love spending 5 minutes a day slandering the Canucks, Leafs, and Oilers and having several thousand people could listen to it.
