If you were suddenly forced to trade jobs with a friend or family member
for one year, what job would it be and why?
I suppose my mom's,
because it's the job I'm most likely to do okay at (I've helped her out
in the past & stuff).

I'd probably trade
with my brother Brian. We're both programmers. I think we're comparably
paid. A trade with Brian would be the least disruptive to me and the person
I was trading with.

Interesting question...
Not my husband's job, for sure. While I think I could teach, I know I
could not teach math. My brother is a traveling salesman - not too appealing.
Dad works in a papermill. Mom is retired (definitely appealing - but not
a job). My one friend edits content on computer software programs from
her home. That I think I could get into.

I think I'd take
the job of my friend Stephanie. She's an art history professor.

Hmmm. I don't know
too many people with great jobs. Right now it would have to be Scotty.
He works at Tim Horton's...which is less than stellar, but he's a baker
(which is cool) and makes like $10 an hours. Plus it's right near my house.
Man, I just want a job, any job!

Right now I wouldn't
mind trading jobs with my friend Don who is working in a documentary production
company in NYC.

I would jump at
the chance to trade jobs with my best friend, Betty. She's a professional
singer and works weekends and a couple of evenings during the week ~ makes
enough money to pay her bills and live comfortably. If she really applied
herself and became a little more aggressive with promotional stuff, I
know she could make a fortune. She's traveled around the globe doing
what she loves the most and has had some wonderful opportunities. Yup,
I could handle this type of work for a year!

I'm "retired"
and I'd trade jobs (cooking and cleaning and picking up for everybody)
with any "man's" retirement.

I would trade with
Ryan, who is a wetlands research scientist in Montana.

I've
got a friend who travels a lot to fix medical computers. He says the problems
are usually fixed in 20 minutes.

I'd
swap jobs with one of the kitchen people at Burrito Boy and work mith
my good friends Priscilla and Lily, and Juan Pablo. Wicked times would
be had by all.

If
we can assume that with the trade comes the qualifications, then I would
swap jobs with my daughter, who is a lawyer. It's a profession that has
always interested me.

West Linn, OR USA
I
want Reba's job as she works for the government and will retire with a
pension. She can have my non-working, since '82, life.
Laney,

Any
of them. I could go for a change of scenery from this cubical.
Ryan,

Riedlingen GERMANY
I
would have to switch positions w/ sis-n-law. College professor. I could
speak to the young folk very easily. teach a philosophy of sorts.
Christine,
37
Syracuse, NY USA
I
would trade jobs with my Mother. She's a nurse.
Melodi,

Gahanna, OH USA
I
want to be a student again,I would trde with me son. He has an apartment
that I pay for, groceries that I help pay for, a college education that
I pay for and just about everything else that I didn't have growing up.
