41 comments

1. Professional layabout

2. Incredibly ambitious: Entrepreneur, pilot or air traffic control.

   Somewhat ambitious: Software developer

   Achievable: Recovery driver, moving on to heavy recovery

3. Anything involving problem solving with constant changes to keep me sharp (I have this fear of becoming lazy and complacent if it’s the same stuff repeated over and over).

   Currently in it so can say I have my dream job right now. I can find that in a lot of places which is nice but it comes down to how the rest of the company is which going on 12 years now has been great. If that changes I don’t think I’d hesitate in moving on though.

4. Getting paid $1000/day to push a button like that guy from Lost.

5. Corpse in a cemetery. Alternatively, ashes from cremation. That sounds nice too.

6. Professional Classic Physique Bodybuilder or Professional Fisherman

7. Infantry soldier. Too old now.
   Have to find something else which isn’t really work.

8. to start my own buisness

9. Musician

10. Service tech for very, very tall towers, wind turbines, etc. Good money, travel, work mostly alone, climb giant towers, and even get to be lowered onto a tower from a helicopter sometimes. Still young enough to get into it, maybe I should…

11. Getting to a position of software engineering where I’m able to help younger engineers.

12. Comic book artist

13. Host of Family Feud but I get to kiss the girls like Richard Dawson

14. Football star or manager

15. Astronaut. I’m 23, and still my dreams from my teenage years haven’t declined inspite of all the reality and discouragement.

    🤞

16. To run my own limo business

17. Being a firefighter

18. Professional oxygen tester that can work from home

19. Owner/brewer of a small brewery. Nothing making me a millionaire but something where I can share my craft and bring home good money.

20. Test driver for sports cars.

    I’m at my happiest when behind the wheel

21. Passionate short film actor

22. A career that I don’t hate that pays me a lot of money so I can be comfortable for the rest of my life.

    If money wasn’t an object and I could do anything I wanted and didn’t have to worry about money or the implications of not making enough I would run my own dog rescue. I would just spend all day taking care of dogs and hanging out with dogs training dogs socializing dogs.

23. Law.

    I wound up in finance though and I’m pretty happy so I plan to stay put.

24. Solo Game Dev

25. Day trader, fantasy novelist, petty aristocrat, poet, geopolitical analyst, pop singer, adult model, TV screenwriter, folklore scholar, electronic music producer, journalist, travel agent, kava farmer, meat insect farmer

    A few of these a more obtainable goals than others

26. I don’t work in my dreams.

27. I just want to get paid a lot

28. Retired early and rich. Absolute dream job.

29. Whatever allows me to very heavily skew towards life in my work-life balance.

30. I’d like to be a filmmaker/ writer. It has been the one constant desire I’ve had since I was a kid.

31. I would open temporary Halloween stores like Spirit stores

32. Big lottery winner and retiree

33. I would love to design a tank :/

34. Helicopter pilot.

    In summer I would fly tourists into very remote lakes to go fly fishing. In winter I would deliver heli-skiiers to the top of mountains. Maybe a little bit of search and rescue as well.

35. Earning millions in royalties from that one show/song I made a decade ago.

36. Fighter pilot, alas childhood asthma precluded that, so firefighter, which I used to be.

37. To not need a job. Why the fuck would it be my dream to work?

38. Being in the military or working in a morgue

39. I always kinda wanted to be a stay at home Dad. For my days to be spent focused on improving the quality of life of those I love most in this world sounds like a fine deal to me.

40. Mechanical engineer in a prestigious racing team. I am a mechanic now and I’m saving up to go back to school in 2 years to fulfill that dream.

41. Drinking beer and reading books I mean it’s a dream job right?
