What a great effort RS well done .
Great story Besoker well done too.
I have had a dream job.
Not going to put it here .
Suffice to say it was wonderful .
Combining my love of horses with adventure .
Now if I could chose another career it would be as an art restorer or a forensic artist .
I would love to do that …
When I left school I didn’t know what I wanted to do .
The career advisors at school were useless .
Never suggested anything like that but maybe these jobs were not well known then .
They seemed to be stuck on being a teacher or the civil service !
Well done all that have gone it alone. My motto is if you don’t try you won’t succeed, and regret not trying for the rest of your life.
Great stories Besoker and Realspeed. There is nothing more satisfying to read about that someone who has become self-made.
So far:
Business owner: Bought my university’s most popular college bar with my brother when we were working on our business degrees. Dream job? Hardly 
.
Statistician: No one dreams of being a mathematician for a living. Why did I? Nerd city. Dream job? Ummm…nope.
Educator: Nothing better than teaching young minds, especially those in low socioeconomic areas. From Hawai’i to Kansas, I loved every minute of it. Dream job? Only if having a personal life is unimportant. If you are doing the job properly, it means 60+ hours a week because the work matters so terribly much. God bless Rhian 
.
Editor, educator, mentor astrophysics: Nothing better than looking at the stars, wondering what is out there, and then putting all of these beautiful numbers and algorithms to suppositions to find locks falling open exquisitely. Had I to do it over again, I would have stayed in Hawai’i in my early years and made a career of it. Dream job? You betcha 
.
Mom: The best, worst, most low-paying, most richly rewarding job there is. I worked really hard to “earn” the position, but I realize now that the shareholders are eternally demanding and don’t let you retire. Ever. Dream job? Yes, and nightmare too ;-).
Brilliant, SM!
A Dream Job?
Now and with hindsight, I would have thoroughly enjoyed being tasked with finding and applying the right and fitting soundtrack for films that really enhance the theme of the film.
For those of you who saw Kill Bill, then you will probably remember the sound track and The Lonely Shepherd which was exactly the right choice for that part.
It’s a bit of an oxymoron, most folks dream “Jobs” involve earning so much cash early on that they never have to “Work” again for the rest of their natural lives
