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.
The question wasn’t what’s your dream life, it was what is your dream job. Are you saying jobs are equal in your preferences?
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.
A lot of animal lovers dream about being vets until they realize they are the ones to euthanize lost cases.
I realize there are definitely tough aspects of the job but I still imagine I would enjoy it despite the emotional aspects of it.
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.
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.
pensioner…
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.

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
In retrospect, I think I would have enjoyed being a librarian. It seems so peaceful, even if the pay isn’t fantastic.
I was seriously considering going to grad school for a library science degree years ago but in the end realized it was going to be tough to support a family with the pay. I think there are some higher paying library jobs but they’re few and far between.
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.

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.)
