GTKY Dream Job

[gradschoolmama]

Sorry it's been a rough night !

I would like to be a professional road tripper. Skills include: late night driving, car DJing, karaoke style singing, snack finding, excessive coffee drinking, picture taking, and chatting. Also ideally chain smoking (but in a perfect world where it doesn't cause cancer or pollution or litter) because I used to love smoking while driving.

There's a show on Texas PBS stations called Daytripper where the host goes on a day trip to towns all over Texas and does whatever there is to do in that town. That could totally be you!

That sounds like the best time! I wonder how you qualify for a job like that? I'm hoping that LO will be into it too because I want to take her to all the places

When I strike it rich, I'm gonna do all of my dream jobs- Something with animals. I'd always liked the idea of working in a zoo or wildlife biology or something like that.

I'd also really like to learn how to do hair. I've always kind of wished I had gone that route.

I also want to be a cartoon character's voice actress. How cool is that?

I actually love my real life teaching job. I just want to do a little bit of everything.

I have a few dream jobs, they seem all over the place but speak to different aspects of my personality.
1. Working with animals, likely doing wildlife conservation.
2. A Rockette - I was a dancer for 12 years (mostly ballroom) and I always loved going to Radio City during Christmas time to see them.
3. A shoe designer - I would design the most fabulous heels that feel like you're walking in house slippers.
4. My dream job which I'm close to achieving - tenure track faculty position at a major research university.

I would play on the woman's US soccer team.
That was my dream, except I kinda had a kid instead of taking a soccer scholarship.
My oldest says he's going to the Olympics though

[nannygoat]

Oh! I've always wanted to be a gymnast. I was in love with it in 1 and 2 grade, but my parents couldn't afford it anymore. Although, by now, I'd be getting toward the end of my career.

I would love to do photography. Any kind, really!

Aww, that's a good one. I love and miss soccer and hope I can make my kids play

You wouldn't believe how proud I was when I realized my kids were just as aggressive and amazing as I was on the soccer field. (That sounds like I'm really full of myself... But hey I was good )

[nbateman5]

Definitely involve food but Dream me would never get fat ; )

1. Ice cream taster, like ben and jerry's. Their ice cream is so creamy!

2. Beer taster

3. Restaurant critic

Someone asked me this question during an interview at a financial company once and I answered somewhere along these lines. I'm pretty sure that's why I didn't get the job. I didn't wanna lie! Oh well, ended up at their competitor anyway!

[chicorojo]

Oh I'd also love to be smart enough and calm enough to be surgeon.
Ya know so I could be like Greys anatomy

Interior designer would be awesome!  I love to decorate and fix up old furniture.  If I had more time, money, and space our house would look even better.  I could even have it featured in HGTV or Better Homes and Gardens.  It would also be fun to see celebrities homes and in a dream world they would be pleasant to work with.  

IRL I would like to advance my nursing degree someday, either master's or NP.  I don't want to back to school though for a while!  I do enjoy my new role as a nursing supervisor, so I will see where that takes me!  

[gradschoolmama]

I enjoy every single career idea on this thread. That is all.

[emilypk]

I always thought it would be so fun to be on Broadway! I have neither singing nor dancing skills, so... not exactly realistic :-) I would also love to be a toy designer or an Imagineer at Disney - both of those are a little more realistic since I have an engineering degree, but not exactly in line with where my career has headed. Love reading other people's dream job ideas too!

[erien22846]

A therapist. Is that weird? I just want to take the emotional hurt away from people.

And if I didn't have two left feet, I would enjoy being a ballerina. I even took a ballet class in college after not dancing for six years. Unlike calvinfoster I have the body and feet for ballet. My high arches are wasted on running instead.

[bookworm87]

Book reviewer. And movie reviewer. I can totally watch all the movies (except the scary ones!) and read all the books and write reviews of them. I would love my job forever if that was it. "Ok hun! You have to watch the kids while I read this book! Work, don'tcha know!"

[saintelizabeth]

I would want to be a beauty blogger. Get paid to review products and have companies send me free stuff all the time. A more realistic dream job would be a stay at home mom.

[things]

Master botanical perfumer

Tenured college professor

Movie reviewer/critic

Independent midwife/CPM

Video game tester

[mommarochelle]

I would love to be paid to be a stay at home mom, but that's not how it works in America.

I love baking. Anything and everything. If money wasn't an issue, I'd love to open my own bakery/coffee shop in my little town.

If I could be a personal trainer, I think that would be awesome (except that nobody wants a fat personal trainer, lol). Getting paid to work out would be great!

I would enjoy being a personal shopper! I love shopping, and spending someone else's money (and getting paid for it) would be a dream for me

[nbateman5]

corinne that sounds awesome!!!!

[kookooma]

I would love to have been a dancer. I was a gymnast and competitive dancer from age 3 until the end of my teen years. I would love to be a singer but I've been told that a bag of angry cats sounds better than my singing voice.

[babyrn2009]

I have my dream job: labor and delivery nurse! I work at a fantastic hospital, and love my coworkers. The only thing I might like more is being a CNM...but not sure I want that kind of responsibility! ?

Ok I lied...my dream job would be SAHM. But since I have to work part-time outside the home (I carry the insurance and $$ is kinda a necessity too, lol), L&D nurse has been my dream since the age of seven and I am thankful to be where I am.

[jesster88]

I would love to be a contractor/designer but without clients to please so maybe a house flipper? I would just want to plan renovations and manage the work, but not necessarily choose furniture and accessories.
