    I thought it must be the most cool job in the universe.

      A lot of fun things are not as fun when they are your job. Similar stories about when people turn a hobby into a business, and it is not quite as fun.

      On another note, I remember reading an article on the "triangle" player in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. On the surface, her job seems kind of easy and funny, but she was a highly trained musician. I am guessing she also did other precussion instruments but they focused on her time as teh triangle player.

        The reverse is a little different. For example, my job is based upon me being a pedantic asshole, and according to people who know me I've managed to turn that into a hobby as well.

        I was only joking

          Education is extremely important.
