Have you ever watched someone doing there job, and thought "I wonder what that's like?" I often do that. Not that I would, neccessarily, like to do their job on a full time basis, but I would like to see what it was like for a day. Here is a list of jobs that I would like to try for a day:
1) New York City Taxi Cab driver - Not only would it be interesting to meet new people, as you drive them to their destination, but it would be very exhilerating to have to manuever through the New York City streets and narrowly miss accident after accident, as the cab drivers I have ridden with always seem to do.
2) Sports Stadium Vendor - "Hot Dogs...Peanuts...Cotton Candy!" Just being able to interact with the sports fans and running up and down the stadium stairs, screaming at the top of my lungs, appeals to me.
3) Hot Dog street vendor - It seems to me you would run across a broad range of people that buy hot dogs from street vendors.
4) 18 Wheeler Truck Driver - It just seems like a manly thing to do, hauling a heavy load across the interestate highways.
5) Comedian - To be able to stand on stage and say something that makes people laugh would, I'm sure, make the adrenaline pump. I guess a good joke during a sermon is similar to this, but, as a preacher, if the joke fails you can just go back to your other points or scripture and not have to come back with another joke.
6) Background actor in a Broadway show - The excitement of the curtain opening, with the bright lights, must be so frightening, but awesome at the same time.
7) Line cook for a fine dining restaurant - I imagine this to be a bit like being on the show "Hell's Kitchen".
8) The person that guesses people's age and weight at an amusement park - If someone gives me an attitude or needs to be taken down a notch, I'd just guess there weight about 40 lbs heavier or their age 10 years older. That should bring them down a bit.
9) Toll collector - Sitting in a both and having hundreds or even thousands of people pass by for only a few seconds at a time, would be interesting.
I would imagine that all of these workers have all kinds of stories to tell. It would be cool to share that experience and maybe even get a cool story of my own, but only for a day. What job would you like to try for a day?

I think toll collector might be interesting for a day. Tour Guide docent for places of interest might be fun. An airport checker--only if it provides free flights as a benefit. A check-in attendant at a fancy hotel--again, benefits for staying at the chain across country. Sometimes I would like to be a consultant for producing commercials.
Ninja, NBA star, video game tester to name a few.
