Dream job?

[Johnnythefox]

Thanks i have a look at them,might get some ideas !

Well I had my moment some years ago when my marriage fell apart and I took off to Edinburgh with my two credit cards and switch card. I basically bumped the cards on a hedonistic indulgence and may have checked into some hotel under a pseudonym. I dropped some shrooms through there also that I bought from a tobacco shop. I then went abroad for a couple of years, Germany (a smokers paradise) Holland (when foreigners could use the coffee shops) and some other places, mostly Belgium which was great.

I dropped some shrooms

Awesome !

 

[OkTotti]

i had a my dream job that paid well but i was so stupid and pigheaded, disagreeing with my boss all the time. Why didn't i just comply and agree with him? One day i came into work, and they eliminated my job. My job search has been so disheartening and all i think about what an awesome job i had... so stupid so stupid...

 

[Jodes]

As kid I was obnoxiously ambitious, wanted silicon valley type job.

Them half my life crumbled but with some moderste ambition remaining I eventyallyvwent to a business school.

Rinse and repeat. I try to get into mental health work. I got the crazy idea that I can help everyone with similar experiences, & more given my new open mind.. But the extreme socising and changing nappies was insane. Rince, repeat.

Wanted to get back into programming, take it slow and eady but time at home since by now Im a total fuck up. Headaches, bad vision, finding air and negotiating my pay for almost every task, responding in mihutes to texs and phones to keep up with society's demads and competition from big busineses.

Its surprising how much damage is done by going though chronic and/or acute stress,especially repeated, extended periods of isokation. You forget how to even talk, let alone fit in

Not seen much hope for life since then since I'm agoraphobia etc etc etc

 

[Jodes]

i Why didn't i just comply and agree with him?

Maybe it was that bad

 

[DeaduMenuWalkingu]

Porn star (male).
Just kidding.
Having enough money NOT to work in any job is my dream job.

 

[deathbycakes]

i'm living my dream job as a freelance artist, i take art commissions and have the luxury of doing it at home while playing video games.
doesn't help at all tho, most of the times i just stuck at art block and feeling depressed. and ever since i start to consider death, art doesn't give me the enjoyment as it used to anymore, heck, nothing gives me enjoyment anymore now

 

[Morbid Cam]

I've been doing everything I can to chase my dream job but absolutely nothing is working out for me, I often have a hard time talking about it because it just makes me so sad that I honestly dont think I will ever even make it to my dream job and I think I've given up at this point because every time I try to get up and chase my dream then I get knocked down and end up getting sent 10 steps back and after a while of trying you start to notice that things probably just arent going to work out, it really really sucks but not like it will matter after I'm gone anyways

 

[Throwawaysoul]

Growing up, what did you want to be?

I never had an answer for that. It's probably why I ended up a loser at 40.

Now my dream job would be something working from home and not interacting with many humans. Minimal wage is fine, as long as I don't have to leave every morning and get in that line of traffic.

 

[divinized]

Fashion designer, artist, actress, or something in forensics. These all seem pretty far-fetched for me now that I think about it, lol.

 

[Kyrok]

Physicist at the Institute for Advanced Studies.

Kinda in the ballpark of where I landed. But I'm now burned out.

 

[Christina]

It was to become a nurse or occuptional therapist.

 

[N-IsMyHope]

I wish I am a male. I want to have my own construction business.

 

[Karl]

do not work and enrich

 

[therhydler]

I used to want to act in a theatre or work with small children

 

[Misanthrope]

When growing up I wanted to be a veterinarian. If I had pursued that career I am sure I would have ended up less of a misanthrope.

 

[kkatt]

Language was the only talent for me. I received distinctions in English Language and Literature studies.
But Science is my Lady and I always wanted to achieve a place at medical school. This would have been the more difficult option and I was far too lazy to opt for the more challenging subject. In the end I fell for Psychology and later Health & social care (which I loathed).

Yet I did find the dream job. A few years beyond leaving school,I worked in a large department store. I was described as a "floater" and an interpreter on call. However two particular activities reigned supreme. One was "wedding lists". People would choose from a bridal list then guests would give me their credit card and a price range. I would then spend the day shopping in a very expensive store with other people's money for what I like to call "posh tat".
After people brought gifts instore,especially at Christmas,a giftwrapping service was available. Wrapping gifts may not seem fun but when everything is available in dispensers and you spend all day twisting ribbons and making things sparkle and look inviting,it's not so bad afterall.

 

[GlowingCactus]

Racing driver although I'd hate having to respond to interviews.

 

[Thoughtforms]

I wanted to be a vet too but didn't want to do science at school. Also wanted to be a piano teacher!

I worked from home as freelance for a number of years and I don't think it was good for my mental health. I was lucky I lived with family and had a stable relationship so interacted with people but personally I wouldn't do it again.

My dream job now is just to have enough money to buy a home. I've applied for so many and don't even hear back.

 

[Tragoedia Vitae]

Right now, my dream job is to be a gravekeeper (if only I could make a decent living from it!). For me, there are very few things in the world more calming than walking through a cemetery and tending the graves. The sense of peace, however melancholy, soothes my soul a little, as does quietly contemplating the lives of countless souls who have passed before me. Tending graves in old beautiful Gothic cemeteries like Bonaventure Cemetery-what a dream!

But I would also be happy as a librarian or archivist working the graveyard shift. Or as a genealogist!

 

[15dec]

I want to be a detective, probably wouldn't be able to pass the police entrance exam though. I'm looking into a policing degree apprenticeship just in case though.

Being a palaeontologist would be pretty cool and I love dinosaurs (I'm basically an overgrown child lmao) but studying it for a few more years sounds like a pain and I'd rather be earning as soon as possible

 

[NotWorthLiving]

Never thought I'd end up making it that far...

 

[stellabelle]

I wanted to be a train engineer

 

[Watson]

I wanted to be a professional snowboarder + extreme sports photographer, and architect.
My dream was to board during the season and design buildings off season.

Minor snowboard injury turned into a major injury since I didn't have health insurance at the time, which meant I couldn't snowboard unless I had surgery, and also meant I couldn't do extreme sports photography since I could no longer board. After so many years, I still need surgery... lol. :/

Never actively pursued becoming an architect due to being told I would never be good enough and believing it.
Did at least pursue photography after I learned to remove my family from my life and stay far away from them as possible.

 

[Watson]

Also, can I just say how happy and sad it makes me hearing how so many people wanted to be veterinarians?

It's really beautiful reading how much you all love animals and I'm sad that your dream job didn't come to fruition but I know you all would have been amazing at it. <3

I've dealt with so many vets / vet techs that don't give a crap about the animals they are treating and it's horrible to experience for the person, but especially horrible for the animal.
Granted I know some vets lose passion over time from the traumatic experiences but I'm talking about the ones that just straight up hate everything from the get go.

 

[Plankter]

Ive always wanted to be one of those guys on tv who get paid to travel and film documentaries

More realistically speaking though architect or programmer or physicist

 

[RememberWhatUCameFor]

retired billionaire at age 18.

That's the dream, right there.

thats the only dream


i noticed a lot of rich people got "rich" when they were already old as fuck


but whats the point of having money when youre only interests are golf and talking about your prostata?

 

[Autumn Winter]
