    if you didn't mean to me rude then you wouldn't have bother posting.
    lets keep the thread on topic please.

    I have what is for now my dream job. wanted to teach for years. now in a school close to home with a very good reputation. happy there.
    of course id rather be something the supermodels play with in their spare time but that is too much of a long shot.

    Not necessarily my dream job, but I enjoy what I do. My drive car at the moment is a brand new Triton GLX-R, and I get a new one every 3-4 months. I sell Mitsubishi's by the way.

    Whats the apprenticeship in? Is getting an apprenticeship seriously your dream job? My dream job would be touring around the world as a bikini model photographer. With a good salary of course. Sadly it is a dream as I am an apprentice Fitter and Turner. Close.

    Well my dream job would pay a hell of a lot more and I'd be living in a mansion with a different car for each day of the week but realisiticly I'm pretty happy with my job now. I get to work from home, work as much or as little as I want and get to do something I love doing. I'm an artist in case anyone was wondering.

    Congrats on finding a job you love Mat. Regarding the show car though, you aren't just going to whack a bodykit on it and put it in shows are you? I hope to see some serious mods! These days unfortunately anyone can enter their car in shows and have the arrogance to call it a 'showcar' because technically it is but in reality it could be any old crap car you can see drive past you any day of the week. It doesn't even take much to get your car in magazines these days either.

    in my mind, there is no such thing as a dream job, a dream job would be a hobby.

    my dream job would be sitting around, getting payed to not work, and spending my time playing with cars. thats my dream job,

    but as stated before, ill belive it when i see ya in this job, this would prob be apprenticeship no 5 for ya now

    I like Garth's idea of dream job. Being paid to do nothing....Hell yeah.

    I hope this one works out for you Mat. It seems like a really good opportunity.

    Typically any job, even a so called dream job is still in fact working for someone else's pocket. The idea of working for others gain really pisses me off hence working for yourself. Any dream job would be in fact something you love doing and other people paying you for it without making any sacrifices for it. If working when I need to and getting paid as much as I need to at the time qualifies as a dream job...then I guess I have it...lol...Cheers

    I work in the Chocolate Industry.........the girls love it.........pay is on comission though, i got 250Euros / $425 Australian dollars for 2 emails. But heaps of travelling all over Europe paid for so im not complaining.
    Once a Mercedes is up to cruising speed it lopes along easily and is happy sitting on 180+ km/h all day. Please check the speed limits in your area before attempting this…
