What do you do in the Real World, what do you want to do?

Figured this would be a get to know you thread a little. Especially since I'm new to the forum and don't know some of you.

Post what you do and what is your dream job:

I'm a college professor in Korea. This is my dream job. I teach English and some history to mostly air travel students who aspire to be stewardesses in Korea. A job that is very strict on beauty in this country. My college forces appearances checks, makes the girls wear stewardess uniforms, etc. I teach at least eight of these classes each semester with about 35-40 students each. The other two are usually nursing and dental hygenists. My salary is crap (decent for Korea) but I get 4-5 months paid vacation every year. In fact, I don't have to work a single day until September 1rst right now. So I get to see the world.

I thought my last job was my dream job. I worked in a company that helped managed sports recruiting. Mostly with colleges. I spoke to AD's daily of major programs to help them organize their databases versus NCAA regulations, etc. You got to look at things like evaluations, camp invites, etc for teams like Texas, Oklahoma, etc. I was really tuned into the what was going in with college football. It was my job afterall and I new information that was hugely secret and sensitive. It was hard not blab and I never did. That job drove me crazy with what I knew and the off hours I could spend checking things out but never get to talk about.

Anyway, what about you peeps?

Currently doing some basic accounting work. Before that I've been in computer tech support, sales, day trading, and finance administration. I would trade my current state for a bag of chips and salsa right now.

What I'd really like to be doing is either coaching a volleyball or basketball team. It'd also be cool if I could one day run my own sports bar, or even volunteer for the aspca.

I am a design engineer for an extremely well known and respected automotive giant... and not for GM or Ford... or Chrysler :-)

Although I could of been a architect lol.
But I also work as a part time amatuer video adult film star HHAHAhA well lol dont we all.

jk bout that last bit

But I wish I was working for the Suns front office, maybe as a stats analysis guy or even for the NBA, I like statistics and producing "discussions" and facts from them.

But I also wouldnt mind being a personal trainer for an NBA team, preferrably the Suns... or a hot WNBA team, if there was one...as I am into bodybuilding, health and fitness etc.

I am a Toy's R us kid. I don't want to grow up. But in the interim I am a Computer geek sort of. It is complicated. I like my job just not my employer.

Which in some ways doesn't even make sense to me.

It's high intensity interval training. =P

Works fantastic in my opinion, but I think jogging is boring as hell. Instead of burning more fat during the workout, it raises your metabolic rate so you burn more fat at rest. Either works, just depends on what you want to do (assuming you aren't a competing athlete that requires explosiveness, then HIIT is a good deal better).
