What can I say to this person who posted this:

Question

My dream job would be testing safety equipment. I would enjoy this job because there is always a risk that the equipment would fail. In the event of a failure, there would be lots of compensation money and time off. I tend to heal quickly so I could use the rest of my time doing what I love best. Because of the hazardous nature of my job, I would most likely get a lot of money. With that money I could have lots of fun in my off time. Many people say to try and find a job doing what you love best, but I personally thing you job should be a second or close third in the lineup of your favorite activities. That way, your coworkers cannot ruin your favorite pastime.

You might consider responding with a mix of curiosity and encouragement. Here’s a suggestion:

"That's an interesting perspective! Testing safety equipment sounds like a thrilling job, and I can see how the potential risks could make it exciting. I admire your approach to separating work from your passions—it makes a lot of sense to keep some hobbies as a refuge! What specific aspects of safety equipment testing do you find most intriguing? And have you thought about what you would want to do with your time off when you aren’t working?"
