I was emailing a friend the other night and she asked me a question;

If you could do any job in the world, (regardless of whether you have the qualifications or not, for when you take the job *POOF* you are granted the qualifications) what would you do?

At first I thought Porn star! But reality set in! What would you have to live for when you get bored with your job? Could you imagine? "No! I don't wanna go to work and make love to five beautiful women!!" LOL! Anyway.....

I got to thinking...If I could do my dream job, what would it be? I'd wanna make TOYS! I'd want a company where instead of Marketing consultants and Lawyers telling us what to make, (And this is a RADICAL IDEA!! HOLD ON TIGHT!!!) we'd ask....KIDS!! Build Prototype toys. A whole room full and let a bunch of kids come in and make the ones they would play with the most. Kids would be our R&D, our Marketing research, and our QC! If they can break it, back to the drawing board...how can we make it better?

The issues I see with this; Legal: Parents wanting $$ for the toys their kids helped design, test etc. Practical; What kind of investors would invest in a company that uses kids as the model for R&D, Marketing and QC? Funny, but you would figure for products made FOR kids, that this would be common sense...but Alas..it's not. Most of the problems with building a toy company that is based in FUN is that no one will invest or take you serious until AFTER the idea catches on.

What do you guys think??
