Dream Jobs for aspies?

Post Reply New Topic

Gonna list a few of mine

1. Watching a School Computer Lab. (can search the web/learn/play games and hangout) not a lot of real social contact

2. Network Adminstrator (get to be on your own all the time making sure all the online stuff works, and go around fixing/setting up computers) not a lot of real social contact

3. Professional gamer (how fun wih that be making money beating people in video games don't really have to socialize much just go to places with events)

well those are a few of mine what about you guys?

my dream job was always to become a software developer... And that's what I did.

I have competed in cash prize game tournaments, and I can tell you, none of those guys have fun playing video games. It is a job, even worse it is a job with sporatic pay, and horrible hours (i.e. 20 hours per day)

I met a group of people who taught dogs to find people. They'd just walk around the woods for hours with their dogs, trying to teach the dogs to find the cadaver dirt that they'd hidden in the woods. I was busy with my little kids at the time but I loved the idea of that job so much that I regretted not knowing about it before having kids.

professional golfer for me, but that really is a dream and it would be hard to deal with.

I choose #5, and hate the other choices because those ones are low-paying jobs, and SLAVE really gets me mad! I thought slavery was abolished by Abraham Lincoln 100 years ago!

I'm trying to start my own music magazine right now. Once i've done a couple of issues i plan to take on someone who actually LIKES interviewing bands, (which I have done but hate). Then I'll be set up. I won't be making any actual money though - thats a small problem with the whole idea.

my dream job? professional dreamer!

business man is something I used to really want to do. Or be a brilliant sales-person or broker. Too bad you need good interpersonal skills for those jobs.

I was alright at sales once I got into it. But only because I had a lot of knowledge and would really try and solve peoples problems for them. I think the fact that I was not like most salespeople was actually quite refreshing to some people.

My number one career aspiration for the better part of the last ten years has been to draw my own cartoons/comics. I'm still working on it, but I have a lot of trouble feeling motivated. But basically, I'd like any kind of job where there isn't much social interaction involved.
