Jobs men like for themselves

Well, what sort of professions would guys like to do themselves? I guess the trick for anybody is to find a job that they love doing. An ideal job is one you'd do even if you weren't getting paid for it. For most guys, that means sport. How many men would love to score the winning goal in a cup final, burn up the best courses in the world as a professional golfer or travel the globe as a playboy racing driver? It certainly beats working for a living. Unfortunately, only a very small percentage of men are good enough at any sport to make it as a professional.

How does rock star grab you? The money, the fame, the adoring groupies would be nice. Can't sing a note or play an instrument? It doesn't stop some, but you can consider a career as a Hollywood leading man instead! Oh, for the chance of saying a line like "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."! More wooden than Keanu Reeves? Try writing or painting. Rich people pay silly money for paintings of squiggles and any old written drivel can sell millions these days (hopefully!). Hell, you can even be a professional video gamer these days. If only I was 10/20 years younger!

I guess most guys want to be a pilot when they are a kid. Some still do when they (sort of) grow up! Jet setting around the world wearing a chick magnet uniform has got to be the business. Or does it? Apparently, an airline pilot's job is quite boring these days with the computer doing almost everything and the pilot just supervising. Then there are the cosmic rays constantly bombarding you with radiation. Being a fighter pilot is still exciting though, especially if it comes with a cool motorbike and Kelly McGillis!! Getting shot down or wearing your stomach on the outside (from massive g-forces) might be possible downsides, however!

Ambitious budding megalomaniacs tend to go into business and/or politics where money and power can be accrued. This usually doesn't come without hard work however, unless daddy (or daddy-in-law) is the chief executive or a big political cheese!

It's not all about power, money and chicks though. There are guys who actually prefer personal fulfilment over Mammon. This admirable bunch includes religious personnel (except those doing it for the altar boys), educators (except those doing it for the holidays) and health care professionals (except those who do it for the prestige/money).
