lizbeeI was on the podcast Enterprising Individuals a few weeks ago, and at the end of every episode, Aaron assigns his guests the rank of ensign and asks what their assignment would be. So my answer here is the same one I gave there:
I wanna be assistant to one of the less-evil admirals. The person who knocks on the door and goes, "Um, Admiral, we've just had a message from the Enterprise, I know they've only been out of spacedock for a day, but Captain Picard says they've encountered an omnipotent being who's putting humanity on trial...?"
It's basically the perfect job: not too much boldly going, close to the centre of things, and if you stay on your toes, you probably won't be murdered when your boss tries to take over the Federation. And then you get to go home to your bed and your cat and have a glass of wine, safe in the knowledge that you're not going to be flung over to the other side of the galaxy and introduced to the Borg. Or whatever.
("What would be your job on the USS Voyager?" is a more specific question with a different answer, because I basically have no skills whatsoever to serve that ship. I'd end up hanging out with Neelix as assistant chef, deputy morale officer and vice president of the Tuvok fan club.)
