Something involving flying aeroplanes and taking photographs.

I always wanted to be a roving photographer for National Geographic.

My dream job woudl be to have no job.

I.e a mahoosive lottery win that meant I never had to work again. I'd then pick a hobby and just go off and do that instead and if I was cr*p at it, well then it wouldnt matter as I wouldnt be trying to earn a living from what I was doing.

I've known I was finishing my job for weeks, and I've saved up a good wadge of money to tide me through. Today was my first day unemployed, and I'm bored stiff already.
I really would love a job again!

How much would you have to win to be able to lead a "comfortable" life (Ie a fairly posh car, like a top spec 320d or something, nothing too fancy, to be able to choose what you want to buy for dinner and have Sky etc..

I'd guess around 5m if you kept it in a high interest account? Say you were 35 and would theoretically die aged 85.

Went to Maldives a few years ago for a diving holiday and the instructors were telling us they got free food and accomodation so hardly any outgoings at all.

But this kind of job would actually not be about the money at all for me. It is just so stress free and fantastic lifestyle. And if your island is big enough you could even ride your bike around the island :)

Have been diving for about 4 years now and even mad enought to brave the cold uk waters. Do much prefer the warmer waters though :)

I'm 19 now, I figure to be comfortable I'd want 50k a year, so til I'm 90 that'd be about 3.5 million.

Thats what I would be after, stress free to me is also not having to worry at all about money and not having to think "Can I afford to do that"

My ideal job would be something motorsport or cycling based I think. Just working away in the background, nothing to flash or anything like that. Just something I could do in the background that brought real benefit to who I was working for. Something that returned a high level of job satisfatction would be high on my list.
