What's your dream job?

Once you're done with school or if you could ever escape your current occupation - what would be your ideal profession? Assuming we all need one.

That's a really hard choice between author, which I'm actually on the verge of (somewhat) achieving, teacher and choreographer lmao. I love all those things so much it's really hard to single one out as an ideal career.

I want to become an archeologist.

Graphic designer or web designer :>

^this, or illustrator for children's books!

as long as i can work in networking or cybersecurity/cyberforensics, im happy!

An occupational psychologist and a best-selling author!

I'd like to make some kind of film someday.

Well this is handy information.

ornithologist, history professor/teacher or car mechanic. i still haven't decided which i want to do.

A lecturer in English Literature (specifically Creative Writing or Contemporary Feminist Literature), or a horror/experimental author. Would also love to be a translator!

I want to be a journalist.

So it feels nice being one.

I wanna be a comic artist, and perhaps work as a designer of sorts. I'd like to be a writer, too, specifically a script writer.

I'll be honest, I really wanted to be a Pokemon Trading Card Illustrator.

Newspaper columnist or bestselling science fiction writer.

I don't have one. I have a list of things that the ideal job would do for me, such as giving me time with my wife, a certain degree of creative control, and enough intellectual stimulation to be interested. I don't know if any "dream job" would actually provide me with what I need, because I've never been in that position before, so how would I know?

This does make trying to plan a career real tricky, though.

i so rarely know the answer to this bc i don't often think about what i'd like to do/what i could be doing instead of what i have to do/what is the goal already pressuring me etc

Being Noticed would be important to me, but being centre stage would not be fun. like, i'd love to work in the entertainment industry and mingle, but as a publicist or a similarly public private role. networking and helping in a way where i can build a career that i value, without the pressure of being A Public Face. it'd certainly be an engaging option, if nothing else.

but in terms of the career path i'm already on - if i could manage some sort of respected position as a teacher on any level, i'd be happy
