What Is Your Dream Job?

[My3cents]

somebody slap me I am doing it!!! What was I thinking.

Kidding I love my job. I really do, even if it does stress me out at times.



My dream job would be to not have to work but have so much money that I could spend my days helping other people out all over the world.

Binky, no judgement here...clown are creeeepy!


My dream job would be to be an artist, and hole up in my studio every day and paint...while having someone else manage the business end, and make me a ton of money.

Second on the list would be bookstore owner for sure.

My dream job would be a budget interior designer - I am very creative and can work with any budget.

I have found that when you have limitation, like a budget, it forces you to be more creative and the rooms end of having more of a personal touch. Since everything can not be bought off the shelf more of the client is represented in their spaces.

I am sure that many of you, I know I have, had to create our daycare spaces on a budget. And the spaces are so creative. I just want to be the professional that comes in and pulls it all together to be cohesive and pretty.

Home daycare was always my dream job. I didn't think it was attainable as a single person with no other income to support myself but I've managed for 6 years now and I still love what I do. I don't love every aspect of the job and I don't enjoy every day but I enjoy and love more about home daycare than the crappier parts of the job.

I would have loved to work with animals somehow but not as a vet. Knowing myself now, as an adult with a few milers behind me, I think I'd have enjoyed working with the SPCA or Humane Society. That may be possible someday but not likely as my sole source of income. For now, I foster kittens for the SPCA and am content doing it.

I am a Harlequin type romance addict. I don't like the smutty ones just the very tame ones. I wish I could write them.


I also am a very good and creative cook. I wish I could make a living at it.

I was going to buy partial ownership in an import gourmet food store but I would have needed to keep the daycare open until it got off the ground. The problem with daycare is the fact that if something goes wrong at the store M-F I am at home with 5 kids and can do nothing about it. So it was the wrong time for me to get into it. I should have looked at it about 10 years ago. Now I am close to having the mortgage paid off and won't want to commit my life to store ownership in a start-up phase.

My dream job: an animal caretaker/trainer at the zoo...... so I guess childcare is as close to a zoo as I can get ::::::::::::::::

or a vet assistant.


Neither one I will ever accomplish..... no way I can get an education in those fields.

or a published author

[bunnyslippers]

I would love to perform in Broadway musicals.

My second choice would be a wedding planner.

Mostly, I would like to be independently wealthy and a stay at home mom. Dare to dream ~

An attorney.

I love the law, searching for supporting evidence, filing, cross-referencing, you name it...anything to do with a law office and the work they do behind the courtroom scenes.

Interesting, budget interior design!
I would so hire you right now! I watch all these home shows on HGTV and would love to decorate like they do but 1) Almost everything they think is a "bargain" is in reality expensive and I don't really know where to look for real bargains (except for garage sales and thrift stores) and 2)When I think that something will look fabulous, it really looks like crap when it's all said and done.

If I had to choose something other than childcare I would love to work with animals in some way. Like in an animal rehab facility, but I don't know, I think I would have a hard time releasing them into the wild after taking care of them! My real dream is to have so many childcare clients that I would have to buy another house (like bc) or a little building. I wouldn't want anything like the size of a center or anything, just something smaller where it's still cozy and family like.

Boarding. Dogs, cats and horses specifically.

On the side I'd like to counsel hoarders and help them learn to reorganize their homes and their minds.

I do think I'll make it there eventually

LOL!!! When I see someone has posted in this thread, I try to guess what I think they would say their dream job is before I read their post.

Yours was the only one I guessed right! ::

Want a dog?!? He is blind in one eye....crazy as can be, snacks on landscaping lights, thinks he is a lap dog (at 225lbs) and seems to think he is king of the yard!

We love him but sometimes I have to wonder what in the world got into him.

This morning, I heard what I thought was thunder....nope. It was just the dog trying to spend some pent up energy doing laps around the house. ::

Only if I can trade you for an epileptic and consequently psychotic miniature pinscher! He has two speeds, off and mach 10. Also, he barks incessantly, vomits several times a week, needs nail trims once a week (lest his mach 10 leaps into your lap carve your legs) and he insists on hunting down and "boasting" his rodent/gopher kills (which I realize could be viewed as beneficial or repulsive depending on the person, gonna err on the side of caution and just assume most people would view that the same way I do).

We have no landscaping lights, have a running tab at the local pet store for grub and he can run his zoomies with the other bigs (although not nearly as bigs as him ) out in the CRP and ponds!

Where do ya wanna meet up to make the swap?!

Honestly....I had to sleep on this one last night.

I have ALWAYS just wanted to be a mom to my kids. Ever since I was little I KNEW I was born to be a mom. I am a TRUE Cancer. For the most part I have done just that.

However, If I had to choose something I would like to pursue my psychology degree further (I have my bachelors in Psych) and help abused children or do school psychology. I would open my own practice and also do consulting.

Love this topic
