I have always been fascinated by the type of jobs out there. According to the latest census, there are about 14 trillion occupations and I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a much different job than the taco stand cashier position I currently have. But it wasn’t until the other day when my friend <a href=" http://www.2aldgate.net">Paul</a> actually asked me what I would do if I was infinitely wealthy that I put some thought into what I would actually do if I was infinitely wealthy. Here goes.
<b>1. Toll Booth Collector. </b>
Get to see a different face every 8 seconds. Nothing against toll booth collectors, but it would seem like a pretty mindless thing to do. More time for me to scheme.
<b>2. Blockbuster Clerk. </b>
I love movies. Ala Jack Black in <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Title?0146882">High Fidelity</a>, I would offer my very opinionated and extensive movie reviews on others, even if they don’t want it. I see exchanges like these taking place.
