Dream Job(s)

In talking with a wonderful friend the other day, I was reminded why they are a friend and how much alike we are. I made the comment to them that “the voices told me to lie on the questions about the voices” in regards a personality test, and their immediate reply was to the effect that “you should always lie about the voices.”

In discussions with that friend, some others, and even a former professor, I have been considering what makes an idea job. I thought I would share and ask you what makes a dream job for you.

For me, it is:

Fun challenge. Something that takes work, expands capabilities, encourages thought inside and outside the box (and even why the box is there), and makes me stretch a bit.

Team challenge. Something that brings together different talents and ideas to increase the synergy and opportunity for growth

Educational. I love to teach, and to learn. My ideal job is one where I can both teach by example (or even by class if needed), work with people, and learn from others.

Travel. I am a travel slut, and still love to go all over the world. So many places to explore and experiences to be had.

Does good. I like to work with things that help individuals, and larger groups where possible.

So, what is your dream job? What makes it such for you?

Hmmm, my dream job ... well in the fantasy world it would be formula racecar driving, in the real world ...

I need a job that is challenging, constantly. I always have to be learning something (could explain the 3 degrees I have). My motivation suffers if I am not learning something.

I also like to solve problems (could also be why I'm in Quality).

Dream Job, huh?

Well, by definition [mine, natch], it'd be any number of things that I'll never have an opprotunity to do in real life.

First sword in the court of Deja Thoris of Barsoom... [She deserves better than that John Carter wimp. ;)]

*ahem* Ok... serious answers now. But I really like my first idea.

Deep space frontiersman. Probably won't be an available option in my lifetime, but I envy the people it will exist for.

Professional Hunter in Africa. I'd of had to of been born a hundred years earlier for it to be really viable. The golden age of African hunting was over before my dad was in his 20's... *sigh*

Computer Game Designer. Possibly still an option if I ever get serious about it. Every new game release I play convinces me there's still a LOT of room for talent in that biz. Oh BOY is there room...
