What is your dream job?

a successful frontwoman/singer in an indie-punk rock band.

Wow... You all have such interesting and abitious dream jobs! (I don't wanna sound judgemental, but I usually fall asleep when other people mention their dream jobs... )

Time to break the interestingness I guess. Something to do with pharmacology - a researcher or a pharmacist, or quite possibly some other kinda' health care professional (social worker, psychiatrist, midwife, nurse, etc).
And teach something on the side, like belly dancing or piano! I would love to lead a small group in my spare time!

Hmm...

While I enjoy programming, and I think I'd probably be content as a programmar, I guess my dream job would be to a research of some sort or working in academia. It'd be in a science, I know that, but I'm not sure which yet. Biochemistry is becoming more and more attractive. I'm at a position right now where in the future I'd be able to do a degree in either, I guess I could then go on to get a master's or a Ph.D and then do research, or if it's a master's in CS I could get a good job in software development. The only thing that puts me off this is the financial difficulties I'd experience in academia. I guess I just have this idealised notion in my mind that working in a research facility consists of spending hours focussing on my obsession, and then talking to others at lunch breaks about my obsessions, and I guess everything is just central to my obsession. I guess I'd also be happy as a lecturer in a University. In the past I've told friends this and they've said that they don't think I'd have the social skills to do this, but I feel that I do, in the past I've done presentations on medicine(something that interests me) and people have been impressed.

I guess being a doctor is another route- medicine interests me, but I wouldn't like to deal with patients, and I wouldn't like to study ~20 years to become a surgeon. I guess it's just the financial stability of programming and being a doctor that attract me, though I'd like to be in academia.

I'm not a deeply ambitious person by any measure, but I'd quite like to write non-fiction, maybe for children...

Gynecologist or sexual health adviser.

I gave a similar answer to a similar post a while back, but oh well...

I'd want to work in a GUM (sexual health) clinic dealing with STD's/STI's, infections and family planning - it'd be NHS but I'd go semi-privet with speciality in menstrual health. In my spare time start-up an organisation dedicated to less well-known women's health issues and menstrual health, start as a web site and work-up to a position where the organisation can participate in research, activism and sex education in schools. At some point post-retirement I'd also work to bring about a sexual health centre dedicated to people with disabilities, to help with their specific needs as disabled people, offer everything from GP's and therapy through to individualize designed sex toys and workshops for carers to help them assist the people they care for in exploring their sexuality.

It does make me very sad that I'll never get the chance to do any of this, that no matter how much I want it I just can't have it, instead I'll be lucky if I get a job working on a supermarket checkout.

IRL, a pharmacologist. In my dreams, a sucessful inventor or be a creative/talented musical composer/pianist.

I would love to be a vet but I'm too stupid when it comes to science stuff. I would have loved to be an actress when I was younger but even when I had an ED I could only be slim not skinny, so I was told that was an impossibility.

My dream job would be to work at animation studio as a animator.
Or maybe become a professional illustrator for children's books. Anything to do with art basically. (My main special interest since childhood.)

i want to be a graphic novelist i have been into art since i was a kid (my mother is very artistically talented as is my sister)
i hope to one day write a world renowned graphic novel not for the money really just to know people like my work lol
but it is hard to do because im constantly editing what i write and draw i can be too much of a perfectionist to actually finish anything >.<

zoo or wldlife veterinarian and married to the job

Horse vet.

Terrorism analyst.

Housewife and cat breeder.

My dream job was working in the music industry either working in a music store or in a recording studio to working for a crewing company and I did work experience helping fix, setup and clean drumkits for my drum teacher I have now left the industry I miss it I gave it up when I got diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome in 2004. If I was to go back to work now the dream job I would do now would be helping other people with AS, ADD and Autism working in a disability agency and to talk at converences about AS. I would love to work in a console gaming company doing the graphics and drawing the art for the latest games on the market for computer and any game console or work in a magazine, anime science fiction, figurines and collectables store or toy store or at the movie theatre as a usher or cinamatographer I hope I spelt that right.

For years I've wanted to do either law, journalism or something to do with History/American Studies or Theology... am 24 have narrowed it down to that, but cant figure out how to make it down to one, except that maybe I wouldnt be able to do Criminal Law, because I'd get all panicky in court, so I'd have to do like mortgages or something.
