If you could have one job for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Me, I would definitely say a Jersey City Firefighter. I mean, there is absolutely nothing like it. Living across the river from the city, people ask me why not FDNY, but I tell them that it is just not the same as Jersey City. If not a firefighter, then I would want to work as the head anchor of ABC World News Tonight. |

If I could make a pretty good living off of being a photography or DJ, or even both, that'd be awesome. Or something related to those. I've got to get a job that I enjoy doing or else I probably won't make it!

A famous drummer.
But more realistically a forensic nurse. I can't believe it's real job that pays so well. It's so perfect for me that I know somewhere deep down it's too good to be true. |

I'd work at Seaworld training the dolphins and feeding the fishies.
Some evenings I'd work behind the bar in some nice busy pub somewhere and write a book on the life stories of the people I met that way. I'm not into fame. |

I don't really have a dream job, but my goals are slightly idealistic. I'd want to reform schools' curriculum/system nationwide, to make every type of school actually useful and not just a way to waste people's time to "test" their willingness to stress out about going into college, where the real work begins, but discipline ought to start from grade school.

I've always wanted to work at a major publication particularly Vanity Fair. I love how their magazine balances elegance with informative information.
I always wanted to be a freelance writer and created a book that really impacts the world. That would be better than cake. |

I wish I would have went a different direction when I was younger so that I could work with special needs kids. Sure, it's not a typical "dream job" but it is something I wish or "dream" I would have done. I've seen the near miracles some of the therapists have down with my boy. They are amazing.
Sometimes I miss bartending as well. I didn't do it for long, but bartenders are the unsung psychoanalysts of the world. |

I remember there is a lot of these threads. o.o
- Film Director / Film Maker - Film Producer - Anything is associated with Film/Cinema - Real Estate Agent/Investor - Professional Hip Hop Choreographer/Dancer I think that's pretty much it but I really want to be the first one, it's my main goal and the rest are like back up or along the way. xD |

Freelance journalist <3 that would be a dream job
Cardiac Suregon Those jobs are nice & all BUT its kinda hard to pull off. Being a freelance journalist will mean that I will have to live like a starving artist forever (& I like money...ALOT!) Cardiac suregon does make the money I like...BUT...I won't be an established/successful suregon til bout my 50s if I'm lucky because of the fact that I won't be done with med & surgical school til I'm about 36-37 yrs old! So thats why I'm a RN major. Its the same path as pre med students so if lets say if i suddenly wanna go to cardio, then it won't be such a drastic change. I was also thinking of minoring in journalism. Take a few classes (including the 1s involving working for the school newspaper for a bit of experience) Sry if that was long  |

I would like to be Vanna White. God damn I mean she stands up there and presses the little screen to make the letters pop up and gets paid extremly well for it. Or one of those girls on Deal of No Deal because they get to wear a new dress every show and they do even less than Vanna...They stand there with a case and open it when they're called. |
