I have very much enjoyed my 25 year career as an artist and dealer in fossils and ivory but a few years ago I stumbled on what I think would be the ultimate gig. Through one of my customers I was hired by a leading documentary producer in Great Britain to find ancient frozen meat for a film on cloning. I went on two trips to remote parts of the state and had a blast. I did not find the frozen mammoth but I did find a 500 year old piece of walrus meat and hide dug up in a Eskimo village . Monday a crew stopped by and filmed me carving a mammoth tooth .They are working on a series of documentaries on Alaska for a major cable channel. I am talking with them about ideas for their project and it looks may get a few trips out of the deal.
If I had the financial resources to take the time to change careers I could see myself making a living recording Alaska and its people on film. It is a tough business and I am happy with what Iam doing now. It seems I am always looking for something different but end up staying with what I know.
 
I know my dream job: whiskey quality control inspector.

Hmmm... I think I need another sip or two of that barrel just to be sure.

Frozen mammoth ??? You reminded me of the hilarious show in "Northern Exposure " when the old guy chops up the frozen mammoth for his winter's meat supply .The Doc is horrified when he sees a scientific find is destroyed !!!
 
I would want to be a firefighter! Oh, wait...I already am. ;) :D
 
My brother had a background casting business in Toronto for a few years in the late 1990's/early 2000's. Primarily he organised extras for film shoots. He did a a job for a company making a snoop dog video one day and had to screen 2-300 girls for their breast quality. Tough job but someone etc.......

I'd like to be a trekking guide on the Larapinta trail who writes and publishes stories of his adventures...
 
I think I'd like to shoot guns in competition and for fun, for one of the big time outfits and quality control sample the stock for a couple of the high end cigar companies.
That'd do me about right! :D
 
Years ago I saw an ad for my perfect job. I actually cut it out of the newspaper and carried it in my wallet till it disentigrated....

Run a home for wayward Hooter's girls... Just a little something I could do to give back to the community.
