I'll be going back to work soon and I've been giving a lot of thought to my career. I absolutely love 'what I do', but not always the environment I have to do it in. For a bit more clarity I work in a creative role (when I am working). I would hate to be prime minister, hate to be a big time banker, and I really don't think I'd have much fun being a doctor/dentist/restaurant owner. The money wouldn't be worth it for me. But some people's ideal, according to some I've spoken to about this, would be the job that gives them the most money regardless of the role.
So anywho, being the daydreamer I am, I realised that my ideal job would be a much more independent, creative one. That's the type of job that I would never want to retire from. So think maybe children's book illustrator. Heaven for me. But hell for others!
There are well known dream jobs out there. But what's your dream job? What could you see yourself doing for the rest of your life? And I am including being a stay at home parent in that category.
