Edge had this shirt on during the Walk On vid. I always wonder what his answer would be- physicist?

I'd be a writer. or a supreme high up company commander.

neither is out of the question yet.

volunteer work, I'd help the supressed women around the world.

that's not entirely out the question yet either.

So, what would you do?

I want to be a MuchMusic VJ. I think that it would be a dynamite job. I would get to talk about music all day, and I would get to travel around the world meeting really cool people, and maybe, just maybe I would get to interview U2.

Never mind all the free cd's, and concert tickets that I would get!!

They were holding auditions a little while ago, but I was going through a 'down' time and I couldn't muster up the energy to make an audition video!! Too bad, I will have to wait till next time!!
 
Ah yeah- I'd love to be a writer too...
One of the brilliant, controversial ones.

Or a film director/screenplay writer.
Does a record producer count as a musician? B/c dang, I'd love that.

Also like you volunteer work idea Olive! If I'd aid supressed women to! I've actually thought about this.
 
This is a question he got during one of his online chats on U2.com. I don't remember his answer though but I guess they are to find on U2.com. *Sara's too lazy t go there herself

I actually like my job (public relations) ... though I would liek to do PR in teh music industry ... perhaps for a certain rock 'n' roll band from Dublin. *HINT, HINT*

there are many dream jobs that i would love to have. I would say that my top two would be as follows:


  1. Work for a major record label to help bring in new talent

    Have a travel channel job. I would love to be able to travel all over the world and report on the best places to visit and stay.

My dream job?
Well, I would love to be an advocate like Bono is for so many organizations. I would like to be the Secretary-General of the UN. I would like to be the president of the US, seriously...it's about time a liberal woman was president!

Scottie Too Hottie Boomba Lottie you're too funny...I don't know where I remembered that nickname from

I really have no marketable skills at this point...I work at a laundry/dry cleansers over the summer...except I could be the costume woman for Scottphisto's films, if he needs one. I did that for a play at school once, it was sorta fun. *hands out leiderhosen to VonTrapp children*

My dream job would be a music journalist for Rolling Stone or Q, who would get to go on tour with the bands...

ehm...i am still in school, change of career kinda stuff, but if i could afford (time, energy,$$$) to do it...i'd have to say a 'Diplomat' or UN rep. Back when Madeline Albright was our Sec of State, I always admired her vigor and tenacity, especially in dealing with nations who don't really recognize women as valuable to their society...sorry to ramble...I guess I would want to follow in her footsteps! I think she is really cool!

EXACTLY!!!!! I was just watching a speech she made at the end of last year about women and herself in society...she's writing a book that will be coming out in about a year or so! (I think). What an awesome woman!

Absolutely something in the music field... most likely photography. Would be excellent for U2, but would like to do all bands/acts as well. Plus Lady LEmon's idea was perfect - I would love to do that. I literally get jealous everytime I watch Almost Famous. Can someone PLEASE tell me why I became a nurse? I think my parents drilled the idea into my head when I was younger or something... I dont ever really remember wanting to be one!

I suppose only if you could test them out with one or more members of U2.

Just don't be the next Rachel Perry. I didn't like her.

I'd love the same job. We'd get into the heart w/out having to wait (a la George Strombolopolous)....but we'd have to compete w/ him for interviewing U2 rights....

Or a ballerina
Larry's shirt buttoner
Bono's masseuse

peditrician

Seeing as how the first few are the least possible, I'll compete for the latter
 
I'm a teacher by profession, but if I could do anything I wanted in my life and get paid for it, it would be these things:

*Writer
*Marine Biologist/Oceanographer
*Archaelogist
*USGS Geologist
*Photographer
*Historian

I think that about covers it... I'm probably forgetting stuff, but that's OK.

Sadly, I'm horrible at science, so I'm not sure if any of the middle ones will ever come about - but I can sure as heck try.
