I probably do have my ideal job, even though I don't feel overly inspired for it nor wish to make a big career. I'm a researcher with one food in academia and one in industry. I do a lot of practical lab work and I control my tasks and days and work hours almost completely myself. I can work from home whenever I need to be at a computer, and my lab (and office) is 15 min away by foot. I don't hate my coworkers but I also don't have to hang out with them (I greatly prefer to keep private life and work life separate, it seems) and my bosses are nice albeit a bit messy. The pay is enough to keep me afloat with a little bit of savings for emergencies.

So yeah. I probably have my ideal job if I can ever raise my salary a bit.

Somewhat ideal. In theory, it's what I've been working towards ever since I graduated film school. Video editing was a huge hobby of mine back in high school, so it's kind of unreal to think I get paid to do that now.

But, as with anything you do 5 times a week for minimum 8 hours a day, it gets tiresome and loses its appeal. I don't always love it. But it pays well, it's creative and I can generally find some way to improve my skills. That last part is a huge motivator to keep on going.

The only downside to my industry is being a freelancer. I am not built for that lifestyle. I like structure and routine. Right now I don't know what I'll be doing for work in the new year. We're still a little while off from then, so I've got some time, but it's still worrisome.

For me the perfect job is when you have more income than loss. It took me a long time to get to that point. And to be honest, I despised my office job as much as possible. I felt like some kind of office plankton to be honest. But when I finally got sick of it.I decided to start my own business. As stupid as that sounds. I made a plan of action. I saved up some money. And I went to the best life coach program for training. You can't just create something all at once. It takes both moral and physical preparation. My plan was sorted out there with specialists. They decided how to properly allocate my money so that there would be enough to cover everything. And now I have my own clothing store. And yes, it's the perfect job.

Hi everyone, an ideal job is certainly not the one I am in now. Working as a project engineer now, while the prospect of one is quite good. Can earn more as you climb the ladder, I am having a hard time loving it, or at the very least liking it.
The thing keeping me sane is my wife, knowing the fact I have a family to take care off, i cant just pack up and leave the job.

But i do have a plan now though, to earn and save as much as possible within the next decade or earlier and open up my own shop.

To be honest, what i like to do apart from gaming, is cooking...and...doing other calming stuff, like knitting..etc (I am a guy if anyone wondering). I am in engineering just for the money i guess, my young self thought after a while i will love it. Nope.

The plan to now, save as much and open my own food shop in the future..HAHAHAH

To those younger generations, plan your future, do something you have passion for, find something you can do better at and at the same time like it, of course not everyone can be a pro gamer, and play games to earn, but there must be something else you love to do which can earn your income.

Not even close. I'm working on a degree and applying for an internship to hopefully help get my dream job, but fast food is not anything remotely close to my dream job.

It's ok. It pays well and I can schedule my work whenever I please. But I don't wake up excited about it or anything. I'm just glad the trajectory of my professional life right now is going up, and so are my finances. That's what matters to me.
