My dream job would be making race car chassis for a living.I have built a few 4 cyl superstocks and love building the chassis and engines more than i do racing them any more.LOL.

I'm currently self-employed, full time artist. A lot of people laugh and tell me it must be nice, but let me tell you that I put more hours in now than I ever did working full time anywhere else. No weekends or free evenings! And the extra self employment taxes are killer. It's stressful but I'd rather work my rump off doing something I love, than work my rump off doing something I hate.

I also raise chickens.

Been conducting Marketing Research for the past 30 years in NYC, NJ and CT. While in High School and College I sold shoes at Thom McAnn and worked as an usher at the Astoria Theater in Astoria Queens NYC.

Are you talking about the Astoria's Liberty Theater? That's some history right there!

Im the Pope, tough job but honest work. Started out as a Hitler youth and one day found myself in the Vatican and just worked my way up.

Isn't it true that you were once the chauffeur for God? Or was that just a joke?

It was right after high school. It was the most fun I had at any job but the pay wasn't that great. To move up in position, I needed a college degree. Once I left for college, goals changed.
