4. To have it be a dream job, I'd have to be allowed to not "sell" my courses. I am not a sales person and my main issues with my current work all revolve around the "keeping parents happy" and "explaining yourself to the kids" part of things. I'm not paid to keep people happy, I am paid for them to learn from and for them to become college ready. In teaching college, I would be paid to share my thoughts and teach students how to think. The end. No keeping students enrolled, no motivating students, no disciplining.

AHAHAHAHA! Let's not and say we did.

2. present job
I've got two. Till worker in retail \ general office worker for haulage company.

3. dream job
I don't know, one that doesn't feel like work because I enjoy it? But maybe some medium of telling stories. I think human experiences are all stories and that we exist to create narratives in order to cope with being what we are.

It's also integral to our evolution; without imagination we would never progress and even a pragmatic achievement like understanding how to create a fire involves a kind of meta-story. Maybe animation though, I like that medium.

4. conditions

No pressure.

2. Giving people diabetes drinks at half price at a well known coffee shop chain whose logo is based off of a Greek mythological character.
3. Either doing something artistic like graphic design or providing nutritional consultation...or being a professor.
4. Have the pay be livable/help me pay off loans, have me become increasingly involved in the consultation process and not just on the side, not doing three things in a day and have to sit at a desk and do nothing for the rest of it. Dental would be nice, too. Not working for a morally corrupt corporation, mostly if their immoral decisions directly affect me.

2. I'm currently a student studying for my master's in mental health counseling.
3. My dream job would be to be a singer or a writer, but at the same time, I'm really in love with the career I'm studying to get into that it's practically a dream job as well.
4. With singing, the conditions would be to be in control over my own contracts, sing what I want, no selling out. As a writer, pretty much the same. As a mental health therapist, my dream for the future will be to have my own practice, but not in an office environment. I'd like to do group therapy in a natural environment, but once or twice a week I would have a half day session that wouldn't focus 100% on the actual therapy, although that would be included. I would like to be able to take the group out on a boat to expose them to a different world (I feel people need positive environments) and have activities that wouldn't focus only on fun, but would also consist of teamwork, relaxation (meditation), and experiencing the environment and letting it affect them (give them a chance to experience something positive to open their minds to new ideas that exist, that positive experiences are out there they may not have thought of or known existed, etc.), journaling, etc....snorkeling in a tropical reef area, maybe sitting in a circle in the ocean on surfboards to sort of combine therapy and environment together.

3. What in Hell makes you think I'd want a job?! And in what screwed up world would a job be considered a Dream?! Fucking insanity right there if you ask me! I'd wanna be a wizard anyways.
4. Happiness or death. Give me one or the other.

Okay if you want a serious answer as for what job I would take if I absolutely had to have one... I have the desire to own a Sugarcane plantation from which I would fuel my business in the production of top quality rum! Though that probably won't make enough... I'd have to buy a few more hundred acres for some serious Tobacco gardening.

3. I don't want a job. I want to be free. Still, if I'm forced to work 9-5 then software/electrical/mechanical engineering.

I wake up with a different mood every day and always want to do something different as I get bored of things quite quickly. Many previous ISTP and INTP-ish friends shared this similar trait with me. I think its impossible to genuinely like and work in a job as an ISTP. Stupid company policies and being forced to do the same all the time pisses me off. In a dream life I have no obligations and I'm doing my hobbies, whichever I would like to when I wake up. If I had more time I would probably do a lot of weird things including:
- learning how to compose and play cool music on several instruments (like celldweller and blue stahli)
- learning electrical/mechanical engineering to be able to craft different kind of vehicles and devices
- doing sports
- traveling to different places not just to take a look around but to experience what it is like living there
- socialize more (because of being forced to interact with people at work I'm really not in the mood to mess with people after 9-5)
- .... the never-ending list that could fill several lives even without being forced into 9-5

4. Be allowed to choose the material and subjects I research and write about. Be allowed to function almost as an extra member of the bands I produce (i.e. Eno's involvement with Bowie, Talking Heads, U2 et al--his influence is undeniable on the albums he produced/collaborated on)

2. On a tech support team for a large company.
3. I would not call it a dream "job", because it could never be monetarily sufficient to live on and thus not a real job, but if I could get away with spending all my time writing stories to scare people and make them laugh, that would be great.
4. I need to live in my own space and to have some extra money to save and pay off my student loan. This is all I need.

3. Nothing. I actually wouldn't mind just being a homemaker if it meant I didn't have to work. Except that I don't really have any desire to get married so that won't work. :doh:

4. Just want to have enough money to live comfortably don't really need much excess. So for whatever job I end up doing, I just want it to be as low-stress as reality allows. That's it.
