Running a team, concepting & developing kick-ass creative, solving clients problems without forgetting the needs of the consumer.
OR Running my own restaurant/winery/brewery.

I grew up on a farm, so I guess you could consider that my first "job" - it lead to others that paid cash: picking up hay for neighbors & field crew at an apple orchard.
Once I reached the legal age to have a non-farm job (16), I immediately jumped to office work within the planning and production office of a local manufacturer. good stuff, i was running excel spreadsheets managing skus and production utilization and projections....

Many. The list is long and changes daily... I've always wanted to pull back out my math skills and work at a hedgefund or financial firm. not bloody likely to happen, but you never know...

Learn about the technology even if you will never have to actually use it. It is integrated into virtually all aspects of communications and marketing.
Play Play Play and Read Read Read
Explore everything and anything you can find online. Read every blog you can, consume newspapers (NYTimes & WSJ are good starting points) like you do coffee (or tea if you're a pom) and find people like you and in the space to talk to.
Then, design, explore, program, write and generally put any idea you have down in digital or physical format. it will all add up....

If I knew the answer to that, you think I'd be here?? okay, i probably still would be...
I'd likely own the business (or part of it), so I wouldn't consider it so much a job as a life. A couple of the possibilities: brewing (beer, sake, whiskey (that involves distilling as well)), farming & marketing the product (a "value-add" such as wine or meat), running a communications agency (bleeding edge, technologically based, creatively driven). creating awesome fun content that others can expand upon.
in the end, creating things that make people happy or make them think or both....

I have many - a couple of daily ones:

http://www.adcritic.com
and two that I like to mention in shameless self-promotion:
http://www.bannerblog.net (where I am one of the editors)
http://www.philmang.com - okay, super boring right now, but it will get better i promise, i'm just getting it on a new server, and getting ruby enabled... soon i'll be able to play....

define best.... I guess that I would have to make that the MooTube filming trip. Spent 2 weeks in texas putting cameras on cows, and writing large quantities of copy to support it. long days, lots of fun, success for the client. check some of it out: http://www.philmang.com/work/pbs/mootube/

HA! I walk, a whopping 6 blocks. It rocks... except when it is raining sideways... then it sucks no matter what you do.

lots... it makes for a good break, going down, stretching your legs and brain, getting a (latte, americano, cap) from Zeitgeist, Cherry Street or Umbria... and it often makes for good brainstorming time too...

From 2 - 10 Shots of espresso, in a wide variety of beverages. Most of this depends upon how busy things are, and how may times a day my head needs a little space... getting out to grab a coffee provides a moment to chat, and a chance to just space out for a second. of course, on the busiest days, I sometimes fail to make it out at all... but don't necessarily miss it either....
