Costume designer for period dramas or a theme park set designer, like proper theme parks, not UK ones.

I'd like to set up a not for profit outdoor activity centre and community orchard. I would employ lots of experienced instructors and encourage courses for kids and adults from all walks of life and volunteer participation. Lots of climbing, tai chi, horse riding.

I’m going to assume the dream job wand provides a good salary because otherwise I could just quit my job and follow my dream tomorrow.

I would like to be an artist.

FredtheFerret · 21/11/2020 19:13

Lots of fab ideas.

I'd like to do something crafty. Upcycling one off pieces of furniture.

Or Antiques Dealer/Auctioneer.

Stylist to the rich / famous / wealthy.

Misandrylovescompany · 21/11/2020 19:29

If money was no object I think I’d like to be an art historian.

My job usually gets mentioned on these threads too. It IS more fun than real work, but I still get itchy feet sometimes.

Lardlizard · 21/11/2020 19:38

Of course the wand provides your dream
Salary as well, how much would you like 🤣

Paid 30 million a year and no human interaction except the odd email once or twice a month. I would just read, research, type or maybe design jewellery or fashion. Send it away to people that do all the boring parts.

So jealous at posters with realistic dream jobs. How the fuck would my dream job ever come true... 😭

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 21/11/2020 19:48

Retired on a massive pension.

Lardlizard · 21/11/2020 19:49

Lemon what would you do with your 30 million per year ?

running my own ebay, business , headquarters in a large warehouse, then on the side, a travel photographer. (if money was not a factor)

Bluewavescrashing · 21/11/2020 19:51

This has just made me realise how lucky I am because mine would be my actual job pre-covid measures which have taken all the joy out of it. I’m a teacher.

Me too.

Either a professional singer or a dog groomer

I had to do this as an ice breaker on a course once. Every single other person got it and did something amusing like ice cream taster or backwards skydiver and I prepared something ernest about working with disadvantaged children. It's funny now but it was awful at the time.

LemonBar · 21/11/2020 19:55

Dc in private school, staff like cleaner, chauffeur, and cook in daily, massive lovely house in an expensive area, country estate, beach home, lovely cars, luxury holidays, charity donations, jewellery.. i would save and invest. I just wish to be want for nothing when it comes to money. I actually visualised 500 mil a year but then felt embarrassed and greedy so dialed it down Grin

Lardlizard · 21/11/2020 20:00

Lemon 🤣🤣oh I can see how you could spend that amount quite easily then !
Yes I like your choices
