A "dream job"?

What's your "dream job"?
I would like to work for a company as a programmer/coder, but none of the companies offering places do allow something other than C/C#/C++/Java.. and I'm not going to learn rubbish to earn my bread

Create a technology, sell it and live from my revenues

lol, pimp =)

My dream job would be to have a nice large plot of land and forest and a house of my own in the middle of nowhere where I can have my own little farm and not be relying on anyone for anything.

But as far as a more realistic approach goes? I'd like to be a chairman of a huge company that can sit back and retire on my stock dividends.

I think being a maths teacher isn't that hard.. you just take some extra math courses and you're ready to teach the little kids in schools.. I heard teachers earn quite good in a month; and as a side-job, I'll do coding in PureBasic and sell my programs ^^

Where'd you hear that?

In the USA teachers are the most underpaid profession in my opinion. They must have at least a master's degree if not a PHd to teach high school and they get paid (usually) way less than what they might get in private enterprise.

I have a deep respect for any honorable public school teacher.

Oh yeah, you're talking about USA, I'm in Finland

Teachers here do need only to yell at the students to be quiet and they get paid

(I was a bad boy in school and teased the teachers and once spanked a girl

) Who said I'm a pervert?!

Easy! Invent a new Skype or YourTube, sell it to Google for $9.000.000.000.

Then relax and read PureBasic forum from an exotic island with a Tequila Rose in left hand and a B52 in right hand for the rest of your life.

Nah, forget my 'pimp' comment. I'd rather be a sports teacher in an all girl school. With lots of lonely pretty female teachers.

... then again, I haven't met B52 but Tequila Rose sounds about my kind of girl

Depends on your state, and even on your county or city school system. A masters is rare, a bachelors is the average. Some only require an associates degree. For subs, some don't even require an associate's degree.

Perhaps, but being good at maths doesn't mean you can actually teach.
