I post this in BEG's name as her mouse is giving her problems ;)
To bring yourself up to the current floor of the hidey place of nice-ish folks that's located in a plainly visible skyscraper (and how large it is!), read these:

I wish it was a choice I had to make over again.
I know more or less where your coming from, but from a slightly different angle.
On my own course things went, erm, 'a little wrong' for similar reasons toward the end, screwed up big time.
I decided a life of game programming may not be so much for me, which is how I started to move toward more the animation/modeling side of things.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

For being such a festive time, December sure can be teh SUCK! I've been so busy I can't see straight.
JObs...
Past jobs. The exciting field of dairy management at the local grocery store; retail mens' department attendant; concessionist, usher, box office cashier, and subsequent management of movie theater. (probably my best grunt-job.) Warehouse worker, followed by technician at same establishment. PC repair tech at a local fix-it shop.
Current job. Big bad IT in-charge guy. :)
Dream job. I like the 'do nothing' job; that's prettty nice. But if I could do something in computer animation or game programming, artistry, creation, etc. I'd be happy as anything. But I simply don't have time to learn the programming languages like I'd like to. Maybe when I win the lottery. /nod.

Well I like what I see here. I'll tell you what, why not take the next few days puting your affairs in order, pack a bag or two for various climates and then we'll head out on assignment.

OK, I finally caught up on the fourth floor job discussion, and now I'll answer seriously (not that I wouldn't turn down any job related to FF!)
best past job: drove an ice cream truck for a summer. Harder work than it sounds, but how cool is a sales job where the customers (ranging from cute kids to sweaty construction workers, mmm-mmm!) come running to find you with smiles of joy ...
current job: geophysicist extraordinaire. Squiggle lines R us: earthquakes, oil exploration, crustal modeling, yadda yadda yadda
dream job: a spot in a modern dance company - Mark Morris, I wish, egad they're amazing!! I'd take Graham or Ailey or Limon or Bill T. Jones & Arnie Zane ...
Ask Dr. Science ... he knows more than you do.

You know what I've always thought would be an awesome job? I'd want to be in STOMP!
Get paid to bang on things and make music. Fun and more fun.
I once wanted to a be a professional musician. I went to college for flute. But that didn't pan out. If I could go back, I'd do percussion instead of flute. Xylophone, tympani. There's so much to do and it's all so neat.

I'm all in for Stomp. Not so much for tympani, they have to tune on the fly. (oh, the things I learned in high school band) Tone deaf don't work so well. I could play the triangle though.
