Newbornbairn Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 What jobs would you love to do but can't for whatever reason? I would think being a voice-over artist would be great. Get sent a script, read it out loud, get loads of money. Wouldn't even have to get out of bed. My thick Fife accent scuppers that one. I'd like to make wine, own a vineyard and all that goes with it. Not much chance of that happening in Scotland though. Traffic warden would be great - handing out tickets to self-entitled c***s and watching the utter seethe. Unless it was commission based though, doubt if it pays enough. Mind you, I would pay them to let me give out fines to folk parking in disabled bays when they're not meant to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Think I'd enjoy doing a job for the Opta Stats people, as I like doing spreadsheets about football. Often thought acting seems really easy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few get a steady income from it and even some well known faces have also got a day job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptn Hooch Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Would have loved to be a Foley Artist, the guy that does the post production SFX for movies. Coconut shells for horses hooves etc, always thought it looked a really interesting challenge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, I've been asked before by an Austrian woman to right some short stories, problem is I can't put them down on paper, I'm a much better talker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a woman who does this type of work on the side for adult websites and erotic audiobooks. Quite often she'll put on her 'work voice' in the pub and it is magnificent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Pro cyclist. Getting paid to train and then race in some famous races would be an absolute dream. I'm not built for TdF contention, so competing for one day classics would be my bread and butter. Fuckin love riding my bike. Theatre actor. I reckon performing something that moves people would be class. My pal operates a crane on Rosyth docks that is, I think, the largest crane in Europe. That's a cool job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
