Rules
I've always found this a weird concept. I don't dream about working, I don't want to work. Making any activity I enjoy a job will automatically destroy the enjoyment as I am now obligated to do it.
So no dream job here, just a dream to have enough money to live comfortably without needing a shitty job!
OP answered that their dream job is cuddling with cats. I think you're taking the question too seriously.
I want to cuddle cats for a living.
I currently work as a developer because it’s something I could study on my own and have a good salary, if I didn’t have to worry about money I would choose to study medicine. The science is very interesting and you get to help people with the knowledge you get, seems like a win/win to me. But med school was expensive.
I used to think it was making video games. And then my dreams were strangled by the game company I worked for at 21 and they made me watch. I also got sexually assaulted at work.
This world will take advantage of you and your passions. It will work you to death, pay you just enough to afford a meager apartment, and force you to smile through abuse. It will gaslight you into thinking your hard work will always be rewarded. And then it will discard you in your most vulnerable moment.
Dream jobs aren't real. You just get comfortable doing what you're good at in order to afford doing the things you actually dream about
I currently get paid to do what I’d be doing if I were financially independent and didn’t need to work for a living. The only difference is that now I’m building and fixing things for other people - whereas in that alternative scenario, I’d be doing it for myself. I’m enjoying it nevertheless. Right now, I’m building a deck while enjoying the sun and listening to the birds sing. I’m also my own boss, which definitely helps.
Can I get paid to eat?
I'd love to design new types of Rubik's cubes and other twisty puzzles.
Being a reporter.
Nailed it.
Probably a mix of cleaning places, weeding, and refactoring sloppy source code.
