Spectrum Dream Jobs 2009

Like every year in february, IEEE Spectrum, published interviews of 10 engineers who have "Dream Jobs"
Worth to have a look to see what kind of better job, you could dream doing, from creating a solar plane for an around the world trip.

Some interesting thing this year, like building electric dirt-bike.

But in my heart, still none are beating those two:

  • Designer for Lego Mindstorm (Dream Job 2004).
    Lau Kofoed Kierstein: Playtime in the Land of Lego
    What He Does: Comes up with ideas for new toys; designs toys
    For Whom: Lego System A/S
    Where He Does It: Billund, Denmark
  • Mythbuster (Dream Job 2006).
    Grant Imahara (M)
    What he does: Builder for the Discovery Channel's "MythBusters."
    Where he does it: San Francisco.
    Fun factors: Enjoys working on the eclectic "MythBusters" set, which features a motorized surfboard, a row of first-class airplane seats, and a larger-than-life rubber cast of a human rear end.
    Basically blowing up stuff, in name of science... and entertainment.
