What's your dream job? :)

(Ordered by ascending realism)

Stephen Pinker, with the same research emphases and subjects in secondary research, only not wrong about nearly everything, and not with that hair-do (a vague goal when Stephen Pinker was an undergraduate somewhere else)

Writer of lucrative books popularizing various science issues, beginning with economics.

A guy who made a pile with that novel he now understands well enough to finish it and is now living in a not-quite modest house on a subtropical beach with a nice, intelligent green-eyed beauty half my age who is so hot that when we dress for the beach we almost never get there even though its only a hundred feet or so to the water.

A planner, designer and writer of applications for a small but fast-growing company where 90% of the employees are available women, most of whom see me as a cross between a father figure and a hunka hunka burnin love, with an emphasis on the latter, where my boss is an actually puppy dog just potty trained last week. The puppy reports to a slightly older dog. The older dog's boss doesn't even know he exists. Except for a few details you may recognize as improbable, this is a job I once had.

Bitter old man who had to start collecting Social Security at 62 so it barely pays the rent and groceries for a bean-centric diet. Internet at the library. Downloaded porn so old it all has stains on it, on tiny hard drive at home.

I know this may be out in left field, but UFO/paranormal investigator. I was always fascinated with these topics since I was a kid. Being a radio talkshow host would be cool too. Also anything to do with electronics.

Writer.

Well, if only I would have been diligently trained in music when I was younger, I would have loved to become a professional musician; either mastering the violin or piano, and hmm, what about both? But then again, I'd also have to get over my fear of performing in front of people, but I think that with something like music, it's much easier to get past such fears because you realize that the music is what's being regarded and assesd-hopefully enjoyed, too-not you. At this point, if I had all of the time in the world (and much needed discipline, lol), and also a promise of financial security, I would become a private music teacher. Children are a love of mine, and I know that they love me, too! Whatever I will be going for (career wise) in the next few years, it will definitely be involving kids. Such a work environment is probably the only one I feel comfortable and safe in. I get children more than adults, and I think that the "me" that I like most, is the one that kids bring out of me.
And now that my mind has gone off, lol, I think I would love to have done anything in the performing arts, which feels so strange to say since I hate "performing" and being on stage and I abhor attention. Although a common and much too cliche girl's childhood dream, even the idea of being a ballerina or some dancer sounds so wonderful to me! I think it's just the beauty and the purity in something like music and dance that is so appealing to me. How great would it be spending your life actually creating beauty?
And of course, dancing and music gives me all the time in the world to be inside my mind, and to fantasize and to dream of a different world.
I did plead with my parents for ballet lessons when I was younger, but I was raised in such a conservative Christian household that dancing was regarded as sinful. If only! xD

The fun i would have...

i am in my dream job now. im a bus/coachdriver and i love it.

My dream job: Game show host.

Feel free to talk to me, if you wish.

Every day is a gift- cherish it!

"A true, true friend helps a friend in need."

Sadly, I can't think of a single job I'd actually want to have, because so many of them would require me to deal with arbitrary corporate crap every day. Whatever happened to simply speaking your mind in a non-malicious manner, and not being punished for it?

My ability to memorize all sorts of media-related facts feels like a blessing on some days, and a curse on others. My mother used to say, "you'll be one of the richest and most successful men in the world someday...but you'll need one hell of a secretary." She also said at one point I could've been a secret agent, because "no one would ever believe it."

I wish I had an honest desire to work, but I hate people expecting things of me, without giving me what I need to accomplish each task. I also don't react well to pressure, and the longest job I ever had (grocery clerk) was 15 years ago, at age 18...it lasted four months.

To be honest, I hate even thinking about employment most of the time, because it just seems like one more step towards a fate I don't want: living on my own with no one who cares enough to visit or call without me starting it. I've experienced that twice before in my life, and my mother doesn't understand. She probably feels I'm wasting my life, but at least I'm not completely alone.

People have asked me, "what are you going to do when your mother dies?", and i have no answer for that. No one else in my family would take me in, and I don;t have any close friends who likely would, either. I feel so trapped in my current situation, not knowing how to change it for the better.

^^^ Wow man, that's pretty scary. If you have never worked, you won't qualify for SSDI. You might qualify for SSI, but I don't think that would give you enough to live on.

If you cannot work, you should really look into SSI. As I said, it doesn't pay much, but it is better than nothing. I'd say look into some state programs too, but I'm sure you won't find much help in Texas. Sorry.


As for my dream job....

I'm really digging the Drug Addiction/Treatment class I'm taking this term. My professor is an Addiction Counselor at a local prison.

I'd love to have a job like that and run a program based on CBT in a corrections facility someplace!

My dream job would either to make a excavator operator (particularly in demolition; love destroying things ) or to install traffic lights. Unfortunately, I was cursed with being intelligent so I was practically forced to get a useless economics degree. What's ironic is that the 'dropouts' who do these jobs make about 50% MORE than what I make now. I would also love to be a children's entertainer like Mr. Dressup (Ernie Coombs) or Mister Rogers (Fred Rogers) were but given the world we live in the only thing anyone would ever think should I ever try it as a introverted, childless, tall male is "he must be a pedophile. Why else would he be so eager to work with children?"

My goal is to obtain a job in the Department of Immigration (U.S.) A clerical job that is Monday though Friday 8-5 with weekends off.

getting a good paying job that isn't nwo... basically impossible

I wanted to be an aviator. It's unobtainable.
