Am 24, gonna be 25 next month. Currently working as an English teacher - teaching it as a foreign language. While I love interacting with my students and they're very pleasant, and I love the freelancing and moving to different places, teaching is not what I wanna do. I've ached over what my career should be since I was 14 - I've considered psychologist, lawyer, and editing. I studied neither Psychology nor Law and I worked as an assistant editor for a year and although it was basically a dog's body job with no editing involved at all, it nonetheless showed me that, actually, editing is not in my blood. Sure, occasional critique, I can do - but reading mountains of boring stuff, proofreading and critiquing for a living? No thanks. I'm not so interested in trying to make someone else's work shine, though I'd love to help, but the truth is, if I helped someone else to shine while my own writing goes unpublished - then I'm sorry, but I'd be nothing but boiling over with envy. As long as I'm writing myself and getting published, I don't mind who shines, I'd love to help someone else shine - but to ONLY ever be making someone else's work go out while my own is stuck in the dark? No, no no no. So, dream job - ultimately, I believe, a novelist who sometimes holds creative writing classes - but first and foremost, novelist.
I am 26 years old, and my life's dream would to be a best selling author. To be a film director would be amazing as well, but I doubt that will ever happen.
Oh I don't know, you could write the Mills & Boon "medical romances" Pahahaha. (Funny enough people make a good living writing those books)
I'm 36 and a stay at home mom. It's the full time job you never leave or get a break from. Before kids I was a legal assistant, typical office job where I spent a good chunk of time dorking around online and chatting with friends. My dream job is to be a novelist. I'm already a writer of course, but until I see my book out there and achieve Harry Potter level of success, it won't be real. Of course I'm just kidding. Well, a ride at a theme park would be kind of cool.
I've just recently turned 17, and I hope to be something of a Concept Artist when I graduate college, mostly in Game Design. However, I'd also like to do some writings on the side and as a hobby. I consider myself to be more of an artistic person than a logical one (by standards of personality and thought process, I mean), so I'd really like to delve more into that side of myself. And, like mentioned above, adapt it into a career. ^__^
I've just recently turned 38, and even more recently turned 39 (thanks to Billy Connolly for that joke). My ideal job(s) would be a writer (obviously) and a photographer. I have spent a few years as a freelance cameraman/video editor and am now a full time dad. So I'm using this opportunity to realise my ambitions by taking a home writing course and investing in a DSLR camera, so expect lots of baby pics.
Well I'm 17, kicking my heels until 18 for now really, and my ideal job would be to be an entrepreneur, preferably in the biotechnology or engineering sectors.
I'm twenty two years young, unemployed and I spend my time killing dragons and catching Japanese pocket monsters. Dream job achieved.
53..used to be a yacht captain and that was pretty fun. I have been a teacher/college professor for 25 years...I thought novelist would be great (if I could make a living at it) or more realistically researcher/policy designer...Although I am REALLY intrigued by the whole location scout/manager for a TV/Film production company. Great idea prettyprettyprettygood! OOOOh also travel writer...that would be great eh?
I'm 29 and I'm currently studying to be a microbiologist ... my dream job is to work part time in neurological research and write the rest of my time.
I'm 18 and ideally I'll stay somewhere int he English area when I'm done with college. I'd like to be something along the lines of a literary editor, but I'm trying to keep an open mind, you know?
Hi, 49, and does idle rich count as a job? (God - wouldn't it be nice to be able to put that down on your tax return!) Cheers, Greg.
A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed- But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream- that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afar- What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star?
I'm John. I'm 20 and I want to be a sad party clown. jk I think my ideal job would be a national geographic journalist/photographer!
Pheonix, that's a really cool dream job! Quite unique compared to a lot of people's dreams. I'm Anthony. I'm sixteen years old, and my dream (job) is to aquire a master's in neurology, go to med school for psychology, and be a psychiatrist in a firm. I'm hoping to specialize in either eating disorders or borderline personality disorder.
Actually, I kinda second this. Part of what I love about writing is getting deep into character and constructing the scenes in my head. I wouldn't complain if one day my writing got me in the door in Hollywood and I slowly transitioned toward an acting career while writing. I've loved it ever since High School when I took a drama class. We did scenes from The Lion in Winter and I played King Henry and two of the hottest chicks in school who I crushed hard on played Eleanor and Alais. (The fantasy of one being wife and one being my mistress was a fun fantasy and acting it out on stage was exhilirating)
Vince. I'm fourteen. And I still am unsure of what my ideal job is. There are different paths for me to take. I'm good in Mathematics, but I love writing. Writer is one of my ideal jobs. I also love acting, singing, dancing -- Performing Arts.
