I suppose reasonable salary is a must.
Personally, my ideal job consists of learning something new everyday. Unfortunately, in reality, quite a number of jobs revolves around monotony.
Learning on the job is practically banned, these days. You gotta have certificate this, certificate that, and about fifteen degrees in eggheadmania.
That's the problem with the unemployment and education system- too regulated.
You spend about 4-5 years getting certified for some bullshit, but still can't get the job because you don't ave any work experience- or you've been working for the past ten years, but now allasudden people want a certificate from some institution to prove that you're able to do what you've been doing for the past ten years.
Incur massive debt and get a useless degree, or get denied work because more and more employers want the degree.
Unless you've been working part-time in the field you end up getting the degree in so you can have both the degree and the experience- you're boned.
One of my friends has done exactly that and he still can't get a job either. One of the smartest dudes I know.
Sorry for the rant, been unemployed for a few months now and it's pissing me off.
