ok, I was thinking about the fact that my dream jobs greatly differ from work I've actually gotten into and such.

So the question I put to all of you is, What is your dream job(s) and your real job(s). Are you still shooting for your dream job or doing it through a different route.

So for me, my dream jobs basically make me out to be a storyteller in different medias. Author, Manga-Ka, Game Storyline/Maker, movies, guitar folk story music, etc.

Funnily enough my jobs have mostly been helping people. Right now it's security and I'm training to be a pharmacy tech. I also love Americorps and want to do another year of it along with some time in Peace Corps. I always say kids annoy me but I tend to do alot of volunteer work with them (art classes mostly). I don't think I want to be a big wig anything. Just want to be happy with my work, pay the bills, with enough left over just in case and to save for things I want.

So, what are all your stories?
 
Original dream job - Nonverbal Communication Focus in Advertising
Second dream job - Freshwater Ecologist
Actual job - paper-pusher in the psychology department of a university. (I hear a fog horn: booo-riiing)

Better luck to you all out there.
 
My dream job is actually a series of jobs, I might sound retarded when I say this but,

I planned one being a touring musician(even if it was a one town tour lol) a rally car driver, a pc technician, and grow some marijuanna on the side all at once as a dream job lol.

What I actually do: Construction.
 
My dream job is to be an author of sorts. I want to create stories for video games, like Final Fantasy, or something I came up with my self, which I barely started working on: The Greatest Story Never Told.

My real job: nothing. I just got out of high school and I'm still looking.
 
dream job : animation/gamedevelopment

actual job : dairy queen :P

Startin uni in honors anthropology, will probably continue to a masters with it, if not further, and that'll take me wherever it does.

Dairy queen rocks! Mushroom swiss FTW!
 
not in quebec... no fries nor burgers here... least in montreal o.o
 
Dream job: writing music for big video game companies and becoming best buddies with Mr. Uematsu-Sama. :3 I'd also like to be an opera singer for classical music and perform, and on the side have a secret identity in which I go by a different name and sing in some symphonic metal band. And one day people will realize that both people are one person and there will be some conspiracy about it.
Actual job: very part-time piano teacher =P and going to university.


I originally was enrolled in pure and applied science and always had this conflict between going into music and science. I've done a fair amount of science and then realized I wanted to go back to music and that's what I'm aiming for now. =)

Music is hard to do. My SO was stuck deciding between Music or Accounting. They eventually went with Piano/Sound Recording. After much effort, all that was attainable was a part-time piano instructor gig (which you already have) and a full-time waiting position  :-\
Maybe after we make more money something can be started from scratch. But it seems like anything music related is kinda cut-throat. So best of luck!

Hopefully, I'll work at GameStop soon. :D

I actually tried to get that as a part-time job on the side. But since I work on a university campus, basically everyone here between the ages of 18-30 is also applying there. Man I'd love getting a deal on my games, and getting to play the displays when it's slow :(

Real job: none
Dream job: none

XD Like Office Space!

-What would you do if you had a million dollars?
-Nothing.
-Nothing, huh?
-I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.
-Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do ***.

Sorry, love that movie!
 
Dream job: Voice actor. I know I could be damn good at it. If David Hayter dies, his Solid Snake replacement WON'T be as good as I would be. But it's a hard field to get into.

Real job: None yet, but I'm starting my junior year of college this fall, going for a major in musical theatre.
 
dream job: Own my own car audio/customization shop, or be a high up network architect

real job: CNC machinist @ a fire hydrant company

Im currently attending college for a BA(possibly masters) in network development.
