I understand that many of us do not have jobs, and I know that those who do (myself included here) struggle a lot with them. This got me wondering about what dream job(s) we can think of, or even hope to do one day. It may be inspiring and help some of us find something that allows forum users to get a job or get a better-suited job.
I will put down some thoughts to get the ball rolling. My main priority is to be away from an office or busy environment.
1) work from home permanently doing some kind of PAYE employment for salary certainty. this would ideally just be for 2-3 days a week. if money was not a constraint then I would not do this work at all, and I would do something more fun like a gardening job in the summer, maybe become a landscape garden designer, write novels and short stories professionally.
2) design board games 1-2 days a week.
3) volunteer at a charity in a non customer-facing role 1 day a week.
4) maybe a part-time bike mechanic and/or frame builder 1 day a week. i can't afford the training costs and time needed to get the qualifications to do these things now but maybe in the future.
A 'portfolio' career is my ideal because I can get bored doing the same thing and this also allows me to think in terms of escapes - when things get too much doing job X I can flee to safety with job Y. I think this mental trick would be very beneficial for me.
How about you?
To work for forge world creating Warhammer boards scenery and painting up Warhammer armies all day long. I couldn't think of another dream besides that.

Me too!!! Have you ever seen the programme where they mend old possessions? I forget the name but I'd love that job!!
the new right to repair law in the UK makes this even more interesting.
Yeah I mean it's alright but still limits creativity a little not sure I'd like doing for a job but I'd be ok with working forge world
thank you! i will try that out, it sounds amazing.
Repair Shop - Every Wednesday BBC1 . Best program on at the moment, their skill at fixing stuff is incredible.
