It's All Bullshit

Download contents of your mind, even when there aren't any.
The job? Blogger.

The upside:
This is one of the bullshit jobs you can do immediately, with no training and no prior experience. You can also become very famous, since the established media, increasingly devoid of excitement and ideas of its own, has taken to siphoning off daily blogging activity as a much better and more interesting alternative to actual news.
The downside:
You need a full, daily dose of imagination, guile, bile, and people pouring nonsense into your head that you can repeat.

I think I'll keep my day job -- which has to be top on the list of all time bullshit jobs.

Tell other people's stories, even when there's nothing worth saying.

The upside:

You get to speak on behalf of your clients, who have screwed up so much that they can't speak for themselves, since if they say anything else, they can only make things worse. No matter how outrageous your statements are in defending your clients, you aren't really speaking for yourself, so it doesn't count. Unlike most people, who like to opine on the law, you actually know what it is.

The downside:

No matter how good a job you do for your client, in the end, everyone hates you (including your client who, even if he's won, doesn't want to pay your outrageous fees).

The job? Lawyer.
