My ideal job would be "the supreme ruler/manager/director of advanced product development/ R & D" for any company that utilizes cutting edge design and analysis software, processes, and materials to create mechanical or electro- mechanical systems. This position is generally under the engineering department but I wouldnt want to manage an eng dept. I am interested in the application of new technology to develop better new products, not cost reduction, retro fitting, general application issues, warrantee service, manufacturing support, onsite customer support or any other eng related responsibility. Just the new and cool stuff.
The chances of that becoming reality at this point are only limited by my ability to start and grow a business to the size that such a position would be required.
Then I could make cool stuff like the Segway scooter
