  dream job My dreamjob is to be the "Head of Maintenance Department" of an organisation which looks after the point-based economic system in a country, which is a replacement for the current monetary system. Community decides on the number of points that could be earned from a job/business/social venture and also the number of points that could be lost from a certain negative action. To do all this, a wiki-styled web platform would be needed where, everyone above a certain legal age has the right to rate a job.
