If you could work anywhere doing anything -- money's no object -- where would you work and why? Here's some responses we didn't have time to read on the air! E-mail us your dream job - morning@fox40.com
Phil, Orangevale "I think congressman would be my dream job. You do virtually nothing and make a decent salary while doing it. You are constantly sought out for "favors" (for a small consideration). You get to travel for free. If you should happen to be taken to task for awarding a contract to a relative or close friend, all you have to do is put on your most concerned face and say that you weren't aware of any of it and provided a (D) follows your name, no one will question your motives or morals. And if you work it right, you have a lifetime job with an excellent retirement. Can you name any job that could be better than that?"
"Carmichael Craig," city unknown "My Dream Job? God for a day.....So I could make every day a holiday"
Dennis, city unknown "All of my dreams would come true if I could be Bethany's personal assistant (aka love slave) .."
EJ, third grader from Cameron Park "I would like to design Nintendo games for the Wii and the DS!"
Dorothy R., city unknown "My dream job is to have my own cloning store. I love clothes and would love to run my own clothing store with my sister. My sister would be the designer and I would handle the business side. I currently do accounting and I really enjoy it so combining the two would be 'dreamy.'"
Michael A, city unknown "Dream job? Either Santa Claus. Of course, I'd have to move The North Pole to Jamaica, mon! or Writing weird, wild, wacky- and occasionally wonderful- emails and getting paid handsomely to do it!"
Curt, Folsom "Paul, My dream job would be yours! You get to work with such smart and beautiful ladies like Natalie, Rosemary, AnnaLee, and Bethany! How lucky are you?! Please let me know if you'd like to take a few days off!"
Jeffrey, city unknown "My Dream job would be arranging and overseeing quite a complex arrangement, involving Local, State, and Federal governments involvement in what I call the House America Program.
Basically, in a nutshell, over the next 8 years, it would be a way for the governments to help the economy and Real Estate markets rebound by building and overseeing the mortgages of PreFab homes specifically targeted to help lower income families and adults to purchase a home and start the recovery of our Nation as a whole. My dream is seeing more than 250,000 new homes built nation wide to help homeless and lower income people and families get into homes of their own with the proceeds paid directly to the governments who provide the funding to get all this started.
By taking the major financial institutions out of the equation, the prospective homeowners will not be subjected to high interest rates and be more able to afford the mortgage payments.
I think that helping to reduce the homeless and threatened populations into homes would be a boon to our flagging economy and provide a much needed bolster to the Real Estate markets. The best part of the House America Program is that it would cost the governments a fraction per year than what they are already paying out in bailouts to many very large corporations to try to keep them afloat.
I have already done a lot of work investigating the feasibility and hope to provide a proposal to my local legislators for review.
Wish me luck!"
