Dull.

Design, maintain and supervising the installation of telecommunications systems
Design, perhaps, but not the rest of it.

Estimate the amount of timber in a forest, plan for logging with the foresters and participate in reforestation.
I'm allergic to 90% of what's found outdoors, so no.

Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument
Composing, perhaps, but I could only do the piano parts, as I'm quite inept at anything else. Unless our band happens to have a trumpet. No to the rest of it.

Teaching theory in a driving school, giving driving lessons and administrating driving tests for them
Haha, yeah right. As if the bus crash wasn't enough.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results
Could be interesting. Might be a little too detailed for me to do well though.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist
Not something I'd particularly enjoy doing.

Evaluating and planning for filming locations and timetables, overseeing set construction, and hiring extras
I could probably do the work, but I doubt I'd like doing the work.

Fatigued, would enjoy this because I would be outside, mentally stimulated. Might get bored with the details involved in making measurements.

Design, maintain and supervising the installation of telecommunications systems
Tired, mentally stimulated, probably a little frustrated too because software never installs "without a hitch".

Estimate the amount of timber in a forest, plan for logging with the foresters and participate in reforestation.
I'd be working outside and what's more, working with planting trees. I'd probably enjoy this somewhat, though I could end up feeling awful at the end of the day because my job would involve killing the very trees I so dearly love.

Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument
Well, since I'm not good at music, this would be very stressful!! That and I'm not much of a performer.

Teaching theory in a driving school, giving driving lessons and administrating driving tests for them
Frustrated (not too many people pay attention in driving school), really stressed out from the likely close calls, somewhat pleased that I might be helping the next generation learn how to drive properly.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results
Fine, mentally stimulated, maybe a little bored with the details.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist
Exhausted, stressed, low on patience.

Evaluating and planning for filming locations and timetables, overseeing set construction, and hiring extras
This is probably a bit stressful and very busy, but I think it'd be interesting as it would be a different thing every day.

Neat, but kind of repetitious. Ready to go home.

Having fun until we reached the 'troubleshooting' phase. Overall, mentally drained.

All in 8 hours? Exhausted! :D Actually, this sounds challenging and fun on a few levels. A bit stressful too.

Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument
Jazzed beyond belief.

Very mentally exerted. I'd have fun with it, but would be glad to go home.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist
Pretty cool, although the constant touching of people may be stressful for me.

Measuring, editing and visualizing geographical data as a Surveying Technician

Sounds dull to me. I think I'd feel like I was drowning in data.

Design, maintain and supervising the installation of telecommunications systems

Dull again. Too technical for me. I'd feel constricted by it.

Estimate the amount of timber in a forest, plan for logging with the foresters and participate in reforestation.

YAWN.


Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument

Sounds pretty cool. I'm not sure if I'd be good at booking gigs, but the rest sounds like fun. I think I would feel pretty pumped and excited.

Teaching theory in a driving school, giving driving lessons and administrating driving tests for them

Oh no....I'd be so impatient with new drivers. Very tiring to be driving around all day and talking with strangers.


Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results


It depends on the content of the data. Writing analysis could be interesting. Dealing with a lot of data can be overwhelming though.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist

I don't like to touch people I don't know. Too much interaction...

Evaluating and planning for filming locations and timetables, overseeing set construction, and hiring extras

This sounds pretty interesting. There's a visionary aspect to this I would enjoy. I think I would get a sense of satisfaction from this.

I would like this, I would have a variety of work to do.

Design, maintain and supervising the installation of telecommunications systems

I could definitely do this, but I'd go crazy after a while.

Estimate the amount of timber in a forest, plan for logging with the foresters and participate in reforestation.

I could do this, but it's not something I would consider doing in actuality.

Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument

I'm no good with music, so no.

Teaching theory in a driving school, giving driving lessons and administrating driving tests for them

I think I'd enjoy doing this.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results

Uh... How do you design data collection?

If what I think this is is what it is then I'd maybe enjoy doing this, but I might go crazy and get bored after a little while.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist

I just don't like physical therapy jobs, they aren't my thing.

I like maps. But building them would be too boring.

Design, maintain and supervising the installation of telecommunications systems
No.

No.

This I would like.

This I would like, except the fear of dying.

Sleep.

On some level fun, later I would lose any interest in this as all the movement retards are the same.

Sure, I could do this for one day. I like working with raw data to reveal a bigger picture. But the actual subject would get boring to me.

Design, maintain and supervising the installation of telecommunications systems
Ugh. I'd get anxious just figuring out where to start. I'd rather be the installer.

Not interesting to me at all. I couldn't do it. It means nothing to me.

Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument
I just dropped out of a reggae band for a reason. I don't like playing in front of people, and I really don't like the bar atmosphere. I would like composing the songs though...I could do that for a full 8 hours and then some!

Teaching theory in a driving school, giving driving lessons and administrating driving tests for them
I don't know about teaching 'theory' in driving school, but I could certainly teach them the rules. Driving lessons would be stressful because I don't like teaching people things, and I would be freaked out that they would kill us. Administering driving tests would be okay because there is a set list of items for them to be critiqued on.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results
Yeah, I could do that for a day but no more unless the subject of the data was very interesting.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist

I don't have the patience nor could I deal with having to 'be fake' all day. I would want to retreat into my cave after a day of this. It isn't that I don't care about these people - I do - I just can't maintain the forced small talk and stock phrases of encouragement as part of my day.

Evaluating and planning for filming locations and timetables, overseeing set construction, and hiring extras
This would stress me out. There's a lot to keep track of, and doing anything on time would be a miracle for me. Why can't I do the casting!? That would be fun.

Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument
Although I love music and appreciate it greatly, the best I can do is make little midi tracks that don't even sound nice. And the gigs? I don't have the E necessary to do such a thing.

Measuring, editing and visualizing geographical data as a Surveying Technician yay a little sight seeing on the job.

Design, maintain and supervising the installation of telecommunications systems pretty boring, but at least I'm the supervisor.

Estimate the amount of timber in a forest, plan for logging with the foresters and participate in reforestation. this sounds promising, I like nature.

Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument I would enjoy composing and would only perform if I'm the shady bass guitarist in the background smoking weed while playing.

Teaching theory in a driving school, giving driving lessons and administrating driving tests for them Only if it's a driving school for racing.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results Depends what I am studying in particular.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist no thanks.

Evaluating and planning for filming locations and timetables, overseeing set construction, and hiring extras nah, but hiring extras might be interesting, you'd probably meet a lot of hot chicks.

Dull, could do it but wouldn't enjoy it.

Yay a bunch of boring mundane crap. I'd work the 8 hours and then quit the job.

Estimate the amount of timber in a forest, plan for logging with the foresters and participate in reforestation.
Whot a horrible waste of my abilities. That and I have very little ability for whot's required here. Wouldn't do a very good job, would be annoyed at how frustrating it was, and moreso that I didn't do a good job. Would probably brood after over how many reasons there were for why I didn't do well and why I hated it.

Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument
Organization is not my strong point. I'd manage to book us in a gay bar by accident since I wouldn't care and get evicted from the band XD

Teaching theory in a driving school, giving driving lessons and administrating driving tests for them
I'm not aware enough to keep track of all that's going on. I can barely tollerate driving on my own, let alone keeping track of someone ELSE.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results
Designing it? Eh... such detail oriented. I'd come up with a basic framework and give the rest to someone else. I wouldn't be able to tollerate this for any length of time. Not sure if I wouldn't get bored as hell in the 8 hours and just end up playing with the screen saver on the computer.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist
Yay more working with sick people. I dunno but almost all of these are having similar skillsets used... I don't think I could tollerate this any more than the others.

Evaluating and planning for filming locations and timetables, overseeing set construction, and hiring extras
Once again, "evaluating and planning" seems to be the only role in any of these. I don't DO the planning thing.

No, I have zero mechanical ability.

I wouldn't mind this

I would enjoy it if I was more musically skilled

Teaching theory in a driving school, giving driving lessons and administrating driving tests for them
No thanks. I don't have infinite patience or nerves of steel. I couldn't handle all the difficult teenagers.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results
I would like this. I'm kind of a statistics buff. Plus I can work alone in peace.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist
Tolerable, would probably prefer other work though

Stimulating, always making progress. Sounds like a good bet!

Stressful. Don't have the training.

Depending on the treatment of the forest, I could enjoy this.

I don't have the skill, but if I did, I would enjoy this.

It would take bravery. Lots. I don't know about this at all without trying for real.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results
Even if I had the degree, this would be much too dry to do long term.

Sounds vaguely interesting, but that it would potentially become boring and tedious, especially if I were working alone.

Ugh. Not enjoyable.

Honestly, I'm not sure. It would have the potential to be great, but I might burnout quickly.

Absolutely not.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results
I would likely enjoy this very much if it were about a subject I am interested in.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist
I would probably enjoy this, but I think it would likely exhaust me because it would involve so much interaction with others.

An 8 hour day.

Measuring, editing and visualizing geographical data as a Surveying Technician

8/10. This actually looks quite fun. I am interested in geography, especially local geography.

Design, maintain and supervising the installation of telecommunications systems

5/10, seems acceptable (except for supervising) but not particularly interesting to me.

Estimate the amount of timber in a forest, plan for logging with the foresters and participate in reforestation.

2/10 because it's too much outdoors work, but it's better than actually talking to people.

Composing songs for your band, arranging gigs to bars and nightclubs and playing an instrument

9/10, if I were any good with music, I'd definitely try this out for 8 hours. I don't know if I'd continue after the game, though.

Teaching theory in a driving school, giving driving lessons and administrating driving tests for them

0/10, being around a bunch of mainly 15-16 year olds sounds like a living hell.

Designing statistical data collection, analysis, interpretation and publishing the results

Could be 7/10-10/10 depending on the subject. I enjoyed projects like this in school.

Helping people maintain, restore and develop their movement and functional ability as a physiotherapist

0/10, I don't like helping people one-on-one for health reasons.

Evaluating and planning for filming locations and timetables, overseeing set construction, and hiring extras
