What is your "dream job?"

Post Reply New Topic

For me my "dream jobs" are:

1.} Journalism

2.} Language translator/interpreter

Game creator, working for myself, not for someone else.

Currently, a psycologist. I don't know how I'm going to get there though.

One that involves no commuting or dealing with other human beings in any way.

And that pays well.

And that leaves me plenty of free time to do whatever I want.

Ditto.
Though it would be cool if I could do all that while being a TV producer/writer at the same time.

Scientific research. Am trying to finish my degree at the moment.

Yes. That's exactly what I want. Sadly, it's impossible, except perhaps if you run an internet business...

In more realistic terms, I would have to say Electrician, I like working with electricity, if I had an apprenticeship I would only have to talk to the Master Electrician and they are generally quite friendly, it pays well and electricians are always in demand, I could start earning money straight away and I just think learning a trade would be better than a degree. So far...

Gallery artist, working on spec, rarely commission.

the jobs i do in my dreams annoy me when i wake up and realize i did not really have to do them at all.

i think "dream job" in this context means "ideal employment"

i already have a small part of my idea of a "dream job" (i do not really like that term and i am uncomfortable using it).

what i do now is major software projects for companies which is the bulk of my income, it is a chore but it is entertaining somewhat. i also have written systems that are completely automated and replicate a retiring employees actions completely.
so in a number of companies who i write systems for, i have also offered to automate retiring people's positions with code for 1/2 of the salary that the employee got for doing the same job.

the people's jobs i can replicate are simple jobs that are clerical and require processing of incoming data and filling out of logs etc. i include an error trap facility that the employee never was capable of performing, they decide to give my automated system a try rather than hiring a new person to fill the position of the retiree. so i now i have 1/2 the salary of 6 former employees that i earn without even having to get out of bed. my system completes all their jobs without need of input from me.
but i still need to earn more so i write new and complex system platforms for companies associated with my parent company.

my ideal job would be if i could have a bank of computers that perform the duties of 100 former clerical people for 1/2 their salary while i wander about in my day and do as i please at every instant.

interpretor. I say this but I'm not sure it's true, I got certified in medical transcription and it about drove me crazy having someone in my ear all day and having to listen to it. If I could translate written text that would be awesome, but I doubt that would ever happen.

Exactly what I am doing now, Holistics.

1. Librarian.
2. Crime lab.
3. Translator for Icelandic
4. Something involving science.
5. Something involving computers.
6. Stocking shelves for anything.

About all I can think of.

Scientific and Engineering Research with an unlimited budget, and no restraints on direction of the research.

County executive or State legislature.

Ghostwriter/editor for topics of biology/geography/geology and able to work from home but also visit research labs and see what's going on sometimes.

Conservation biologist

Paleontologist studying extinctions and plant communities

Farmer of nuts and fungi

I really don't know, because while I have definite interests in subjects, I don't know how I would fit into the world and use those interests in a way that works for me as well as providing something of value to others.

Urban Planner
Lawyer
Doctor

I wish I can have the power to influence the way we live now, as well as in the future!
