There's something a little off about this survey - it lists /Starbucks/ as #17 "dream job".

Probably the only job on the list with any sort of real job security, and they might make you store manager. As corporate jobs go, Starbucks is probably a good job to 'fly a desk' at too. A few years ago this guy, a chemical engineer, who worked at a local startup that was attempting to do some "Green Tech" by leasing a piece of a nearby cement plant to experiment with sinking CO2 into the concrete as a way to help the environment, needed to find another job because the 'suits' were having too much fun driving their leased Ferraris to look for funding. He was looking at a job in the SF Bay area as an engineer at a thin-film emulsion company, and a job as chemist for Gallo wine. He had a newborn and a wife and asked me what I thought. I recommended the company that had existed long before he was alive, and most likely will exist long after he's gone... Smart guy. He took my advice. -- RR "Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers ... And neutralize them, neutralize them, neutralize them"
