What’s your idea of a dram job ? If I had a magic wand ?

I think being on a boat in the maldives taking tourists to their islands and on dolphin watching trips etc could be fun

@IsThisOkorWhat I'd love a dram job 😁😁on a serious note my dream job would be a librarian

I'd like to run a children's library that had support animals to listen to readers.

It changes for me because in some respects I have my dream job , but when what you love becomes what you rely on for money in an increasingly challenging environment to be self employed, it kind of takes the fun out.
So at the moment I’m thinking of a job that is fairly boring, unchallenging, not physically taxing, wouldn’t notice if I wasn’t there, but reliably pays the bills. I’m thinking of an article I once read about a German Civil servant who , upon retirement, wrote to his colleagues to tell them he’d done nothing for the last fourteen years. I fancy something like that.
I won’t be bored as I can continue doing what I love in my spare time, i just won’t be pressured into earning from it. If my new job includes perks like private health insurance, even better.

I used to work in my dream job until covid came a long and shut everything down. I used to be a festival trader, doing festival make up and tattoo's.

Amazing fun... had a team of 5 MUA's , visited all the big UK festivals. Loved it.

Now i work in a office :(
