Cartith Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Today I called for an interview at a public library, which is my dream job while I'm in college. It got me wondering, what are you guys dream jobs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 For right now and college too probably, same as you, public librarian. Career wise, geographer/analyst for either international aid organizations or for diplomacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 I used to say "teen librarian." Now I just want something vaguely related to a library that will let me pay off my stupid loans and make me feel like I didn't get my degree for nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eerongal Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Billionaire playboy, obviously. If that's not an option, I'm generally happy working in a job that lets me live comfortably, which I currently have. As long as I'm working with computers, i can be pretty happy at my job. Obviously, though, if i was offered any sort of childhood dream job (astronaut, cowboy, astronaut-cowboy, etc.) i'd totally jump at it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Arum Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 For right now and college too probably, same as you, public librarian. Career wise, geographer/analyst for either international aid organizations or for diplomacy. I have a close relationship with the geographers at USAID. They are a fun bunch. I love the maps they make to help out with international aid and development. My dream job is to be a USAID Foreign Service Officer. And I'm closer than ever to actually see my dream come true! Five months back I received a preliminary employment offer, contingent upon a few outstanding things. Hopefully these outstanding items are accomplished over the next few months!

Mestiv Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 The Librarians are taking over this site I see. I must inform the Free Kingdoms! My dream job would be exploring new, unknown lands. Too bad there aren't any left :/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadoxicalZen Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Supreme Immortal Librarian/Archivist Alchemist charged with collecting and recording knowledge and this planet's (and Universe's) history from start to finish, both accurately and in-depth, free from any internal and external bias (and mastering biogenetic engineering and modification so I can finally create Dragons!) ^^ ....You said Dream Job, you never said it had to be real! Half in reality, I'm pretty laid back so I'd settle for being a Surfer....or if was to be business/corporation-esque, I'd lead a team of concierge/PA hybrid types 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Starship captain. This is pretty much what I wanted to be when I was a little kid. I was bitterly disappointed when I got old enough to understand that Starfleet Academy wasn't a real thing. Since I can't be that, I still don't really know what I want to be when I grow up. Probably do creative stuff. But that doesn't pay the bills, so instead, I work an office job to feed my creative hobbies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hmm. Top dream job that I've had for quite a while is a Senator or Representative, with the chance of becoming President. I want to do that so bad, and have for a while. Unfortunately, that's a long way off. Also, I wouldn't mind being a lawyer who argues Constitutional Law. Next, a doctor is a dream job. Finally, being a Core Collections Officer for the CIA. This has somewhat evolved beyond the typical "I wanna be a spy" phase that all kids go through. And I have less than one year to decide which of these jobs I should actively pursue! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) ... Dream job? Um, the guy that sits in a workshop and tinkers with spare parts all day. Wait, no, scratch that! My dream would be a musician, like in an orchestra or something. If only I didn't have crippling performance anxiety and had any idea how to play the cello. But honestly... I don't know.

Zathoth Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 In order from less to more possible Timetraveling, adventuring and universe saving Rockstar. Companion of a time lady. (A blue box could appear outside my house now, please) Experimental Metal musician with a small, but dedicated fanbase. Anything not too dull to earn money for whatever creative project I feel like doing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallamp Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 My dream job is teacher of literature and I'm finally studying to become one (at first I studied engineering as my parents wished), but there's one more obstacle to overcome - competition for these jobs is tough where I live and I have speech impediment, which isn't dream quality in a teacher... I guess my realistic dream job is to work in library or bookstore.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little wilson Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 When I was younger (grade school), my dream job was an architect. Then in early college/university, I thought a lawyer or psychologist sounded pretty awesome. Writer has also been frequently tossed around. Now my dream job would be a travel agent. I love planning trips. Not just for me. For anyone. I love researching airfares and hotels and all of that. Unfortunately, that's a dying industry. I realized my realistic dream job earlier this year. My aunt, who was a travel agent, told me about this time a deal came through for London. $400 roundtrip. So she called up her sister and they took off Thursday morning (I think it was Monday she saw the deal) and came back on Sunday. I want to be able to do that. So now my dream job is one that I enjoy, where I make enough for a good travel fund, and where I can give short notice for a short trip. Take off on a Thursday and be back the next Monday for work after having traveled to London or Sydney or pretty much anywhere. Yeah. That sounds great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaymyth Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 You know how I feel. Ayup. When I was a teenager I graduated to fervently wishing that the TARDIS would materialize in my backyard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
