i dont think it's been invented yet. because if it's a dream job,
i imagine it'd be tailored exactly for me. but industry wise, i'm
in the industry i want to be in. i have immense passion for it.
i just need to finetune the landscape a bit more, stir up some
disruption to get it exactly how i want it, all which involves a lot
good timing. the old blood needs to be washed away. and it's
slowly but surely disappearing.

so far, i've been incubating some projects. and have been having
a lot of fun with it. so the light at the end of the tunnel though
has become brighter as of late. but sometimes i'm just so impatient.
and time apparently doesn't respond to fist shaking. grr.

My most realistic dream jobs are ICU nurse or nurse practitioner with a practice.

I would be suited for and enjoy a lot of jobs though.

Farmer with a shop, research scientist, neuroscientist, medical doctor, psychiatrist, actress, journalist/writer, traveling photographer, advertising/graphic design, (always thought I was going to do that, but then found out the reality of the job is cut throat burnout central, so I opted against it.) These come off the top of my head, but I'm sure I could think of many more.

My dream job is being a freelancer that makes a good living (not an on-the-edge living like now) doing a variety of different things related to language, including teaching (got that done), writing (starting that), editing (a bit of experience, but no real jobs), and other random things that come my way. Eventually, if I could have a job that includes all that with good benefits, that would be awesome, but the reality is that I'm probably going to have to remain on a freelance basis.

Just landed my first writing job, and I'm quite excited. ;D I'll be one of the authors on a new textbook series for self-directed learning.

Maybe running a gym like this...

Spending time with an interesting person (astronaut, humanitarian, politician, musician,...) and writing a book about them, their everyday life, their perception of the world. Or living in a different culture and writing a book about that.

I would love to work for Louis Theroux.

Inventing names for LUSH cosmetics products. My favourite of their names is "Honey, I washed the kids" Soap.

I'm going to assume "dream job" means I don't have to actually have the talent to do it.

1. Rock star
2. Astronaut
3. Hockey goalie
4. Film writer/director
5. Legendary wit
6. Graphic designer

Or I could just be Buckaroo Banzai and then I can be all of them.

Terrorism/Crime Intelligence analyst for the government, or even better, an analyst for a company that sells information to governments that pay my company since I don't want to be loyal to any country for that sake of it.

To run a charitable organisation that revamps people from having victim mentality/external blame fest, into people who "can do", one where 99% of funding goes towards its objectives and where there's noticeable impact.

My dream job would be light farming plus hunting and gathering with a group of people who work as a community.
Preferably in some warm but fairly mild climate. Like Oregon or such. Spain. France. Italy.

A performer/entertainer!

Preferably in dance or acting. Dream job!

Maybe singing or musician too but that seems like not exactly what I'd dream of.

Ideally, I'd make a good living doing this too.
