Dream jobs

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?

  • I don't really need to work but it's something I'm not able to do any way because of my autistic problems but because I can't it makes me want it more. So I spend so much time thinking about different jobs and whether I should give it a go or not. My husband doesn't understand me and thinks I'm lazy so sometimes I really want to try to prove him wrong...

    My dream job would be to work as a vet. I've researched it and it's like a passion for me. I'm not a vet but where I've researched and researched it I now so much about it and animals in general, so I'd probably be okay at it lol. 

    If I could work this is what I'd do and I'd probably open my own practice as well. That's my dream job :)
