I'd like to be a novelist, and I am working towards it along with my day job. I wouldn't even need to be the next Stephen King (not that I'd mind that, either); it'd be enough if I could make a decent living for myself and a possible family so that I wouldn't have to have another job along with it.

Illustrator of books. I wish I had gone to Art College and done that, but I never believed I would be good enough to make a living at it so it seemed a waste of a degree.
In an ideal world, you and I could've been business partners.

Well, my job is my dream job. (design/ programming as a freelancer) I just would like to have somebody who does the communication with the clients. That part takes 90% of my capacity.

Could you afford to hire someone to do that for you?

OK, my dream job is working somewhere sorting through toys and books and things that people donate and the ones in good condition get sent around the world. Just working in a small, cosy room, by a window looking down on to the street, with a couple of other people that you get on well with and have a laugh each day as you sort through the stuff together.
I don't know if such a job exists, and if it does it's probably voluntary (non-paying).
The closest thing to that I can think of would be working in some kind of recycling center. The stuff wouldn't get sent around the world, but it could tick the other boxes.
