What's your dream job?

[BlueKarou]

I don't like my job, but the benefits of staying far outweigh the benefits of leaving for somewhere similar. Changing career entirely appeals greatly, but is too much of a risk financially (single mum with an over ambitious mortgage.)

So... just for fun, I'm asking you all to just spill out a whole load of other jobs so I can live vicariously through the idea of ditching my current job and doing something completely different.

Dream jobs, actual jobs, things you just think might be interesting. I wanna hear them all!

Solicitor with own firm.

I make and sell art, from my beachcombing finds.
I get to spend ages on the beach, and then crafting on piece.
Then I get to talk about it with other people as crazy as me
Pretty much couldn't get better, unless I was making more dosh, haha

I have my dream job. I'm a senior executive in consulting. Drives me fucking bonkers half of the time - but the other half is so over the top awesome that I average out at just about "brilliant".

Always wanted to be a midwife. Instead I just had lots of kids 🙄

I currently work in IT support/development, to answer my own question, and am definitely reaching burn out.

Ideal job would be something less developer-y and a little more laid back. Not necessarily even in computing. I would love to make/grow things and sell things. Or even skipping the creative side and just selling things in a little independent shop.

I used to want to play video games for a living, but I don't think I could keep up the enthusiastic commentary!

I'd like to work in a small company of like-minded geeks, doing something geeky, or worthwhile. Definitely not on my own, although some time working from home would be fine.

Opera singer

Owning a shop means working in the same four walls every day and being polite to everyone who tries to take the.mick who walks through the door. It's not all it's cracked up to be!

On the plus side I would like Monty Don's job. All the nice bits of gardening with a minion to do the menial boring bits. And mega bucks pay.

RAdio presenter with guest stars on panel shows. I can't really act but I love music and talking. I'm an accountant and facing burnout at the moment

If like David Attenborough's job. What a lovely life! He's been going it for decades and just seems to love it more and more! He seems to have an increasing zest for life! 🦋🦑🐬🦍

Nurse lecturer actual job. Job I dream about doing - post woman!

My dream job is to create sci-fi make-up and costumes for theatre/film/exhibitions . . . Sadly I don’t have the art gene!

Librarian.

Postie. Random but true.

Any job where I can work about 6 hours per week and earn about £60k.

Mechanic in the army. Too old now and have dc so wouldn't be fair either ☹️

Paramedic but I claim up in panic very easily

I would love to be inheritance heir ( BBC used to have a programme on a few years ago) Delving into the lives of the deceased to find a family member, who may inherit a small fortune or a bag of socks. I guess I'm just really nosey

I've always wanted to be a Dr. A GP or a specialist in microbiology and strange diseases.

However, whilst I would love to study medicine, in real life I'd never cope with the responsibility, stress, workload, politics and difficult patients once I'd qualified!

My dream job would be Dr pimple popper 😂

Id really love to do something outdoors, for the RSPB or a national park

Something to do with anti trafficking. Not sure what or how to do it! I'm a cook so not exactly on the right path.

Vibrater tester!

I'd work on a perfume counter in a posh department store. Or a posh chocolate shop.

Spot squeezer like in all those sporner videos.

Wildlife rescue and rehabilitation or working in a cat rescue centre.
