What is your dream job?

My dream job is being a fighter pilot in the Air Force. I didn't know that until pretty recently, but because of this cool program called Civil Air Patrol, I was able to get up in the air piloting a small airplane. Definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life, and I highly recommend that others look into it if they have any interest in flying.

Other jobs I have some interest in are: lawyer, freelance marketing advisor, and normal Air Force officer, if I don't end up getting a pilot slot.

I can’t imagine doing something like that. I have a very strict solid ground policy. You make it sound amazing, though.

Vets seem like an amazing job until you realize all of the disgusting things vets have to do
I think about this a lot! :cry: I would also be way too sad if any of my patients (which would probably be most) weren't doing well. One day I think I'd like to volunteer at a shelter though! Sure, some of the animals may not be in tip-top shape, but it'd be nice knowing I could help without having to do doctor things.

Yes and no about the veterinarians. Depending on where you live they actually have specializations. For example, one of my dogs goes to physiotherapy and it is pretty much as it says in the tin: lots of treadmills in the water, acupuncture and other exercises, the veterinarian won't do surgery (but she had to do it to complete her studies).

Or alternatively, you can go for zootechnics. I'm kind of biased because my dad is a professor at the uni.
Basically, it is the specialist that takes care of the animals on a continuous basis before they get sick. They make sure the animals got the vaccinations, they are the ones who formulate the dogs' and cats' food you get at the market (animal nutrition specialists), and can also be specialists in animal reproduction and all these things. It is part of agriculture science and zoology in general. There are many areas too: domestic animals, animal husbandry, fish and wild/zoo animals.

Right now I think I'd love to be an accent/ dialect coach! I have a background in TESOL but formal lesson planning really isn't my thing. Accent coaching has all the stuff I like about teaching without as many drawbacks, and it's a subject matter I love.

Also, that's pretty cool! Very specific and honestly I didn't know something like that existed.

Yeah, it's a little niche! Most people who get dialect coaching are actors, but people in other fields like business will also get accent training sometimes to try and sound more "professional," and second language speakers may attend to brush up their pronunciation for similar reasons.

My one ideal job, is bartending. But thanks to "speed bartending" and "freepouring", being basic requirements, i cannot do that job at a professional level.

I am knowledgeable, i have the tools, i know how to make what, but fixing something for more than a small group of friends, with the clock ticking aggressively, without jigger and me being expected to do the joggler or something... Nah, just forget it!

Career wise: Nursing or Teaching. I injured my back and had to give up nursing then became disabled entirely and had to give up teaching. I missed both jobs like crazy. It’s so rewarding to give of yourself to others.

Ultimate dream job: I always wanted to be a mother but that dream was crushed when I miscarried our only child, then got so sick I had to have a total hysterectomy. We can’t adopt due to my mental health diagnoses.

So my current job irl turns out to be a chronically disabled person getting to have so much free time and having no ability to full enjoy it since I’m mostly bedridden. I do find little joys like in playing Stardew Valley, watching tv and cuddling with my husband,
gathering virtually with my Church through televised Mass. or snuggles and short walks with my furbaby when I’m able. ☺
