I don’t mind work, I just don’t like jobs.

If you've ever experienced a sudden, unexpected job loss, you've likely come to the realization that no matter how much of your identity is wrapped up in who you are outside of work, there is a real loss of purpose and the sense of who you are when it happens. Been there, done that, and I am vociferously in the "work to live, not live to work" camp.

This. I’d have plenty of things to do without a job. Lots of them would be “work.”

Things like volunteering and organizing for causes would be very hard work and very rewarding.

Honestly I'd love to be a ski shop monkey again, or a Whitewater photographer.... or both, since they're seasonal. That shit was fun. However the money banked since then in the "real world" would make both of those gigs even better.

Still wondering why OP doesn't or hasn't applied for his dream job yet.

Well, to be honest, I only have half the skill set needed for that job. I have some 20+years in snowmaking and grooming with a few years in lift ops. However, I have no experience with ski patrol, lift maintenance, food and beverage or rental operations.

If I had stayed in the industry full time, I would definitely be there by now. Instead, I took the guaranteed payout of a defined benefit pension plan, and now, I only have 3 more years before my employer will pays me to stay home. After that, it’s back to the mountains for full time snowmaking. Already checking the classifieds in anticipation, as you can see.....

:cool:

That's a weird dream job.

Fuck work.

Your head is certainly in the right place. Maybe Giada mixed with Hoppy Floppy, but just a B or C cup?

In prison they call it cheeking.

My job is my dream job, but it doesn't pay, and I'm always having to fight for better equipment/more staff/not being shunted in to a shipping container in the parking lot. But I would happily do it for free if I didn't need any income.

So, being a driver in Florida in the winter is your dream job if it paid enough? You sure you should be on a ski forum?

Not sure what’s more impressive. How many employees at BAT
Or how much they can pay for a remote work engineer

$100 to list, then 5% fee adds up fast. Google says in 2021 they had 20,000+ auctions with $828 million worth of cars and have only gotten more popular. (edit-$1.35 billion in 2022)

It does not seem like a super complicated operation, but I get the feeling being too small of a shop scares away investors.

Wow. $40+MM gross revenue is nice.
Didn’t realize it was that big.
I do enjoy the daily emails. If I had big money there’s so many cars I could buy there. Not just the usual collectors. Oddball shit as well.
