I'm a few months shy of [legal] drinking age, and my dream job would be making theatrical-quality Halloween props for haunted houses around the country. Maybe throw in some special effects makeup art on the side. Also for haunted houses. Becoming a bestselling author would be pretty spiffy, too.
I'm 27, always wanted to be a U.S. Marine but my bum knees had other plans. Currently I own my own business dealing in new and used plastic model kits and accessories.
I'm 34 and have always wanted to work with reptiles. Maybe start some sort of Ark project to breed and prolong the existence of those most endangered by extinction. If not I'll settle for remaining self employed and not having to answer to anyone apart from the better half.
I've had a long career in nursing. It enabled me to travel, (which is why I followed that path), always have a new job when I left an old one, change areas of interest time and time again without setting my career back, go back to college more than once for advanced degrees, all while being able to increase and decrease the number of hours I worked as I pleased, and in the last 20+ years, be my own boss as a successful entrepreneur. Life is good.
I thought I'd replied to this but can't find a post. I'm 23 and my dream job is to be a successful author (preferably in fantasy).
At the age of 73, I have been a lot of people and done a huge variety of jobs but my gift is writing. I self-published my 3 books with 3 more in the wings but they aren't flying off book shelves. I laughingly told someone once, "Why didn't I get the gift of being a hitman instead of an author and frankly, if I could have my dream job, that's what I would want to do. Haliburton
26 and writing is my living, however not necessarily the writing I want to be doing (I am a technical and freelance writer). I hope to shift gears after I finish my MA in Rhetoric and go for an MFA in creative writing and wherever that road might lead.
I'm 35 and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I do know that my ideal lifestyle would be one of constant travel, so being a world famous novelist would do the trick. On a serious note, I have looked into being an ESL Teacher because it fits that (can move around a lot to different countries) and because I love languages. Learning languages has become a big hobby of mine over the last few years. I've also thought of going back to college (graduated with a Comp Sci degree way back in 2000) for Linguistics or for a degree in German or French. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in place for now. But at least I have a few more years to figure it out if I do decide to change careers.
I'm 60, and in no hurry to grow up. My ideal job is the challenging software engineering job I currently hold, at a company whose product literally saves lives (we provide timely and accurate medical information for clinical decisions). And yes, I do plan to publish. I'm still learning, and I am making progress.
18, I'd like to work at home on anything. Preferably running my own music studio and writing about the daily going ons. Going to school for audio engineering is my dream. I'd like to become a historian of OH graffiti and music.
i am 21 , i just got my plumbing degree but i dont plan to stay a plumber forever i will collect some money and enroll in a private college to study 3d design and get publish of course
Ha, not on your life! There's never enough violins. On a more serious note, the market is in a bit of a strange place right now, but one that is much more likely to be beneficial than harmful. With the folding of a number of orchestras in the U.S. over the last few years, it looks like classical music is dying away. However, that's not nessecarily the case. There are still a great many orchestras going strong, but more than that, string quartets and other small groups are at record highs. People still want to hear classical music and musicians still need instruments. (Not that classical is even close to the only thing you'd use a violin for, but that's a subject for a different post.) Everybody wants an old instrument, but because musicians, museums and private collectors are all competing for a limited and reducing inventory, the prices are sky high and far outstrip the actual value of the instrument. So they buy instruments by modern makers which can be, and quite often are, as good as or better than any old Cremonese one. (And yes, I've seen enough of the old Cremonese ones in person to be able to compare.) Then there is China. China is taking to western classical music like a duck to cocaine. Even if the western market completely collapses (not even a remote possiblility), China on its own is creating enough new students, conservatories, and orchestras to keep the entire industry afloat. Something that is a bit worrying is the way China floods the market with cheap, factory made instruments, but it's not too worrying because I wouldn't be competing directly with them. Those instruments are for new students, and as they get better and more serious about playing, they come to realize that their instrument is a cheap POS. That's where I step in. My role in the marketplace is to provide good instruments for the people who are ready to make a serious investment in a professional quality instrument, but can't shell out more for it than what their house is worth.
19 and currently thinking about taking a linguistics degree. I love mountains, the sea and doing crafty things. My ideal dream job would be on the stage, in musical theater
