What's your dream job?

[overthinkersanonnymus]

I work in finance and I bloody hate it!! It's so stressful and all I'm doing is making other people rich.

My absolute dream job is to be a midwife. I'm absolutely fascinated by pregnancy and birth.

Unfortunately I'm too old and skint to go to university 😩

It's a nice daydream 😌

All off on stress isn’t a good sign!
We only get 2 postal deliveries a week, I thought it was mostly down to the fact that people get less post than years ago.
I remember when I was a kid we used to get 2 post deliveries a day.
Sadly looking at the wages for a full time postie I’m not prepared to take a cut but maybe once all of mine have finished uni…
I just like being outside 😂

A talk show host or producing the music that goes behind movies lol

But I work in IT!

I’d like to raise orphan kittens from home.

Lighthouse keeper.

I’d love to be a wedding planner, part time of course because in dream land I’d have staff and we’d specialise in (hot) destination weddings in the Mediterranean.

Dominatrix. Being able to say exactly what I want to people without people complaining I am too assertive or direct and getting paid for it (probably more than I currently am paid) and not having to put up with people half arsing their jobs and then trying to shift the blame to me would be lovely.

@Marchintospring but do they know of your dream? Surely your siblings in law would not be so cruel as to put their toast racks monetary value ahead of such an amazing idea?
I think you should tell your mil now so she can write it into her will as a request, my dil to have all my toast racks on condition of running a museum for children.

I’ve always secretly fancied being a bounty hunter but in real life I’d be shit at it because I’m really conflict adverse so I’d be like “I’m sorry I kicked your door in. Not sure if you forgot but you’re up on 86 charges today and you’re running late. Would you mind coming to the court with me? Only if you want to though” 🤣

Florist or shop window designer/stager.

Dream job? Vibrater satisfaction tester! And you could work from home too. 😆

Florist

I'd like to be a casting agent for a TV or film company. I quite often "people watch" and imagine who I'd cast as characters from books I'm reading.

So you want to be Angel? Me too!
Or a saddler. Or get paid to read books.

This is my winner! 😁

Hosting a history podcast.

I’d like to be a restorer in The Repair Shop. I’d waft about all day in the blissfully calm and serene barn, making people feel happy by restoring their treasures. I’d also enjoy perving over Will Kirk.

@00deed1988 I'm so jealous!!

And you get a uniform so you don't have to think about what you're wearing everyday!! I hate having to do that 🤣

I love the repair shop but I don't think I'd like to work there because I imagine it being drafty and cold, and there might be spiders!🤣

A detective. Love a bit of true crime. I don't like the dark though, so I can only solve daytime crimes.
I actually worked as a fashion designer for 15 years which was always my dream job, never felt like a job and then I had kids and didn't want to work 24/7 or travel. Now I've retrained in something different.
I always envisaged I'd have different careers! Why not chop and change. Don't think the detective thing is going to work out though.

I'd like to design the Xmas range for M&S

Or be an author (but an anonymous one where I didn't have to market my books in public)

Or a food critic

I have several things I would like to do (ADHD so my mind changes a lot) 🤣

I would like to work in a funeral directors.
Run a garden centre.
Run a food van.
Be a zoo keeper.

In recent years I decided I'd like to be a mountain walking guide as where I live that is a genuine possibility, I am quite good at navigation, courses are in abundance around here and I love hiking. However, I then thought I'd actually hate moaning clients who didn't realise we might get bad weather, or didn't realise they would actually be walking up hill. All of that would ruin my love of the outdoors. Plus I myself don't like walking in the rain or the fog so I'd be wanting to cancel all the time 😂I ruined my own dream by thinking it through to reality!

Backing singer for Pink Floyd. I think that ship has pretty much sailed and now I'm too old/not glamorous enough to do BVs.

That's it @reesewithoutaspoon! That would be my dream too!
