I don’t dream of labor

Dream Job is such a funny phrase.

I think most of us don't want to work at all.

None of the dreams where I'm happy involve me having a job.

Veterinarian, would love to work with animals. But I would need to go through sooo much school to make it a reality which I am not set up to do at the moment.

I always struggled with this question as a kid. It wasn't until I was much older I realized it for the capitalist propaganda that it is.

pensioner...

I made the move to my dream job as a UX designer from being a receptionist for a hospital. My work was fun, manager was great, people respected my decisions and input, I learned so much. I loved it so so much, but was laid off by my startup suspiciously timed with SVB going under. It's been so hard to get another job in this tech economy, but I'm hopeful.

In retrospect, I think I would have enjoyed being a librarian. It seems so peaceful, even if the pay isn’t fantastic.

If it has to be a job instead of being free while still having money...

• 100% remote so I can live wherever I want.
• 50k/year (€ or $, whatever).
• Not waking up early.
• IT job doing cool creative and challeging stuff with Powershell, Python and similar.
• No dealing with users, meetings or burocratic bullshit.

Just a few of my daydreams whilst getting kicked by The Man:

• Video editing in TV industry
• Owning a cycle/Segway hire place at some beautiful tourist spot
• Buying, improving & selling property

I currently do my dream job. I’m a software developer.

I started recently and I’m semi-old. It’s true what they say, if you do what you love you aren’t really working. That said I don’t code for fun so much anymore.

I am a fuck up. Until I was diagnosed with ADHD a year ago I wasn’t doing great, but I had stumbled into a role at Apple working the GB do I was fortunate to get private health care. My point is is me a complete fuck up can make it into my dream career then I think anybody can.

What? I don’t dream of labour lmao

I would like to be able to do whatever I want whenever I want, and never have to sell my time, focus and body to be able to do so. Or to even just survive…

Garden Hermit. Taking interviews from any interested rich people who want a weird guy hanging out on their properties

Anthony Bourdain's job.

I’m quite into linguistics so as far as potential jobs kinda related to that I don’t think I’d mind working in translation.

Unfortunately not sure how great the future for that is with the improvements in machine translation, especially since the only languages I speak are pretty widely spoken and so those for which that’s going to be most developed

Doing my dream job now. I hustled hard in my 20s and 30s with several internet-based businesses that were successful. In my 40s, a bout of depression occurred where I realized I was unfulfilled (money truly isn’t everything). These days, after selling the businesses, I retired for a couple years, blew through my hobbies and interests, became bored out of my mind and set out for a new path.

I’m now in a career that allows me to help people finance the first home (mortgage lender). In the career, I’m meeting a ton of new people each week, clients, referral partners and more. This is what I wanted/needed, to not be a hermit in my home working online, and to start working with others.

The job is challenging but it’s also very fun. At the same time, I wouldn’t recommend it to those that need consistent stable income because interest rates have provided fewer transactions nationwide. In the perfect environment, most struggle to make decent income for a couple years and I’m no exception.

Looking back, it turns out I choose a good path, but in reality, had I just started volunteering in the community, I would have been just as fulfilled.

Operating a small art/manufacturing studio. Designing and hand-crafting things out of cloth, wood, metal, etc. would be the ideal situation (as long as I could still pay the bills with it.)

Doing nothing, enjoying life to fullest

A job with very low responsibility, and very high salary.

I know that folks have & will continue to do the "I don't dream of working"–thing, but I'll answer sincerely.

If I could do it in a way that could sustain me, I'd love to be able to design & make my own line of stuffed toys! I kind of do that right now, but it's not something I can do full-time and still survive.

I'd also love to do bearded dragon rescues/fostering/specialized veterinary care. I'm definitely not able to handle the schooling required to do any vet stuff, though. But I've done rescues/foster work in the past before I just couldn't handle the costs anymore.
