Driving the 7.30 train from Limerick to Dublin is another one I'd like. I used to catch it in Ballybrophy when I was working in Dub. It's a nice looking machine, that must be the ultimate driving job, you don't have to deal with arsehole passengers just drive it down the line from A to B safely.

Obviously there's more to it than that but that's how I like to imagine it. :pac:

I just thought of another one.......cattle drive cowgirl.

I'd love to give long haul trucking a try in the USA. I like driving and listening to the radio but I suppose sleeping in the god dam thing would get old quick. :pac:. Driver's salaries vary, most earn by the mile, starting rate is 25c for company drivers. It ranges upwards from that, Owner Operators can earn 6 figures a year.

A fisherman is another manly profession which I'm probably not cut out for. Wearing the overalls and hauling gear for hours on end etc.

Like trucking salaries vary drastically, A crab fisherman in Alaska can earn 50k for one 5 week season but a deckhand working onboard a trawler in Ireland would be lucky to make half that in a year.

I'd like to try my hand at being a series creator for the discovery channel.

sure all it takes is adding "extreme" or "wars" to mundane tasks, if there's hillbillies in it then even better.
