My dream job is just probably go travel be a tour guide. Or maybe a band member, like a guitarist, not really popular, but someone who plays in clubs across the world. Stuff like that. Something that involves travel, and new experiences.

If not that, then a director, or a writer, something that involves creating something. That would be great. Even a special effects guy who helps with the costumes in horror or sci-fi flicks. That'd be plenty cool.

Then lastly, some guy who write reviews on stuff, like books, movies, cars, etc. I think I'd love to be an autocross guy too.

(ok, I'm gonna stop before my list gets tooo long)

tough isnt it

did afrotc in hs and college just so i'd have the chance. my eyesight going in was 20/30. 20/50 at the time was eligible, so i was happy. then i went to 20/100 then i thought ok, i could be a weps, then it got worst, beyond all flight status. i thought maybe i wanted to be a commercial pilot, but lets face it, its just a glorified bus driver and it doesn't have the thrill of going mach 2 with a mig on your ass.

I think it'd be pretty cool to be an astronaut. Especially if your significant other were an astronaut too, and you got to go to space together. Yeah. That'd be pretty dreamy.

My cousin is an Air Force pilot. He had a heart murmur I think, that prevented him from becoming a pilot, but after he got fixed, he got in. Now he's in the South, I think. Georgia?

Lawyer. A mommy/wifey. Interior Designer. Photographer. Politician. Businesswoman.

For a span of three or so year, I wanted to be a coroner. :ph34r:

I've always wanted to have one of those jobs where you travel a lot, "I have a meeting in New York on Tuesday, and then another on in Chicago on Thursday." where I'd have to wear lots of suits and stuff, and deal with business or advertising type stuff. Company relations sounds sorta cool. Am I making my own job up now or does it sound like one that fits a real job description?

yeah. i always wanted to do engineering.
ceramics or satellite. sumthing that was
in the general field of space exploration.

i wanted to build space shuttles.
hearing about the ceramic tiles falling off
during take off kinda hit close to home.
i wanted to do *that* make tiles that
would /stick/.

the closest i got to what i wanted to do is
computational fluid dynamics. that's what
the indian born, Dr Kalpana Chawla, who
was on board the columbia specialized in
when she first joined nasa.

right now. i totally feel like going back to
school. i dunno. maybe go do what i dreamt
of doing.

yeah.

-winces-
Oye.

I went through that phase of wanting to be Maverick/Goose/Iceman after watching Top Gun and other flying movies. After finding out my poor eyes couldn't take it, I said forget it.

Then I wanted to be a race car driver because of Days of Thunder (my sister is a Tom Cruise aficionado and therefore I wanted to be like him for a while, heck I even wanted to be a bartender for a while cuz fo that fool). But then I realized I could do better with my life.

Then after a period of not knowing what I wanted to do with my life, I looked at my role models in life, and realized I wanted to be a teacher. So I picked the driest subject I could (history), and decided that since I liked it ANYWAYS, I'd major in it, get a teaching credential and start making it more interesting for other people.

[DragonKnight]

Hmm...

-Music producer/recording artist

thought of being a newscaster before. but then i thought only pretty people had that job, since they'd be on tv all the time and stuff. but then i realized that a lot of them really weren't that pretty. i really want my face to be on a billboard with my name in big big big letters.

It's more about looking professional and having the professional attitude than looking pretty....most of the big shot famous stars aren't all that great looking...the fionest people are always people I either know in real life or the lesser known celebrities IMHO.... :blink:

When I was little, I used to dreamed about being a starting QB in the NFL for the 9ers, just like my idol Joe Montana!

My dream job is to become a dancer (choreographed dances like Missy's, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, etc.) on stage or tv (music video).

At least one music video would make me happy.

i've always wanted to be a pop singer/investigative journalist/attorney.

i bet a lot of the yw guys wish they became professional ballplayers.

as a kid: undercover cop (like in 21 Jump Street). writer/novelist (like Ann M. Martin, who wrote the babysitters club series).
later: entertainment news anchorwoman (like mary hart on entertainment tonite) or magazine journalist. pro volleyball player (like gabby reece, but an entire foot shorter). actress. nutritionist. entertainment lawyer.

(yes, this is an old thread. :smile: )

[John0101]

i wanted to be an astronout when I was a kid.
then I wanted to become a hedge fund manager making power moves.
Now... working at a think tank or in a radical NGO. I always wanted to be a father too, but lets put that off for now.

[SynRG]

Realisticly- an Asia-Pacific Regional Executive for an MNC that will pay me a nice fat cushy expat package and base me either in Shanghai or Taipei.

Unrealisticly (but who knows... I might just say "fuck this" one day)- Full-time Trance DJ and Producer, and perhaps the owner of a club.

I allready spin on the side... but I'm finding the farther down I get on my Career path.. the less time I have to really devote to DJing.. or making music in general. It really gets me down sometimes...

[rice cracker]

Dream job: trophy wife. Sit around in Versace drinking champagne all day.

Realistic dream job: book store owner. Or this other idea, which is kind of off the wall, but someone told me I should open up a library/coffee shop. That would be sweet. Spread literacy, sell coffee. Two worthy causes.

[yoMAMA]

Dream job: Attorney General of the U.S

....but realistically.....probably Micheal Jackson's public defender........;)

Realistic dream job: book store owner. Or this other idea, which is kind of off the wall, but someone told me I should open up a library/coffee shop. That would be sweet. Spread literacy, sell coffee. Two worthy causes.

we will go into business together.
we can do a library/craft store/craft club/coffee/tea shop.
and we will be known for our wonderful unique ice cream flavors
and coffee and tea drinks. and our inviting and comforting
furniture and atmosphere will attract customers world wide.
then we will franchise and our stores will be open
on every block and people will hate us and love us simultaneously.

then with our newfound fortune i will open a animal shelter
and you will buy a chestnut farm.
but alas, we need money to make money.

i'll take donations starting ASAP. thank you.

oh yeah ms rice cracker...that library/coffee shop idea is a brill idea, in fact i was reading just yesterday that it is thought libraries will cease to exist soon as people are choosing to go to bookshops where they can chill on sofas and drink coffee and stuff...so tis a good idea indeed!! i love libraries and would be traumatised to see them go, bookshops are cool but imagine the library scene from Ghostbusters in your local bookstore.....ok i know ive gone off on a tangent but you know wot i mean!! wouldnt be the same!! :biggrin:

probably been mentioned a lot, but:

Travel writer/photographer/documenter - get paid to go globetrotting and document new things. You'd also be helping people open their eyes to the world (if you do a good job).

I could probably do this for a long time, at least until my biological clock tells me to settle down.
