It's an ok question, it just reveals who has a realistic grasp on what a real job is versus a fantasy job. I think that distinction becomes pretty obvious to anyone who's been working awhile, so the question might be redundant.

"reveals who has a realistic grasp on what a real job is versus a fantasy job" Yep, I think you may have said it best. All of the people in this thread who are throwing out nonsensical silly answers just aren't listening to the entire question. There's a really specific set of rules and most people here are ignoring them and the purpose behind them.

  Would you provide a summary of each rule? It sounds like you know them very well.

    If there are rules, that throws honesty out the window. Proof: Either the rules don't require any honest inputs, or else they do. If they don't require honest inputs, then the outputs aren't honest; they emanate from the rules. If the rules require honest inputs, then what are the rules for other than to massage the honesty into something else? The way you get a honest output statement from a honest input statement is not to apply any rules. :)

    The rules from the article. That should've been read before posting.

      There's plenty of discussion in these threads that doesn't require knowledge of the article to read. Go take a look around. :) What's more, I got the core lessons of TFA from reading the better comments in the discussion. I'm sure I saved a fair bit of time.

  Why? He's asking about ideal. Yes, supposedly constrained by your knowledge and abilities. "Superbowl winning quarterback" is not a realistic answer for most people. But saying a very generous salary with an equally generous amount of time off to work with the community and do research around $PASSION (that's relevant to $IDEALCOMPANY) seems a reasonable response to the question as posed even if one knows it's not a realistic goal.
