Dream Job?

[Carter_Blane]

If you could have your dream job, disregarding money location requirements etc..
what would it be? and why would you choose to do that over anything else?


now.. if its realistic how come you dont go for it and achieve your dream.

& if you have your dream job, what steps did you take to get there?

I would love to have been a pro golfer. I started playing in my early 20s which is way late, but didn't practice hard to get better until 5yrs ago. I'm down to about a 10 handicap and getting better each month. Maybe I'll eventually take up teaching golf that could be very rewarding. Golf is my "church" per say. It is the one place I can leave my work, home and family for some peace to myself. I don't think about anything else but what I'm doing and thats a nice mind cleanser.

Olympic dreams

"If you could have your dream job, disregarding money location requirements etc..

No doubt in my mind, that if my legs could perform equal, my place was right next to Usain Bolt in the Olympic Arena... and run the 100 meters, and 200 hundred meters as fast a human can.

Who wouldn't want a day job that takes 10 or 20 seconds, and that pays millions!

PS: My age holds me back.

My dream job is to be a stay at home mom and housewife. I did that for 9 years, but it's hard to maintain my shopping habit on one salary. I now work for my wardrobe and accessories and mostly, shoes!

If I could go back and choose a different career to study for now other than teaching,, I would be a broadcast journalist.

Gosh, Carter, your question is much harder to answer than I first thought.

I love words and also fear them, words can be so powerful and require an enormous amount of respect. So, I think I am doing my dream job, although I hadn't thought of it in those terms. For the past few years I've been writing for an online ghost writing service, so I get to play with words everyday, at home and get paid for it.

99% of my assignments come from the US and when I first started writing I had to redo almost every task because of the differences in the language...sounds crazy, but true. Lol

Although I love words I really, really dislike commas and fullstops, which is why my posts here, often have too many or not enough, this is where I can allow my grammar and punctuation to relax...

My dream job was to be a ghost writer, but my position was out-sourced (apparently to Australia). lol

 

[Ms. Kianna]

I am going in about three different directions on this one. Grace was right, it is a harder question than I thought.

Oh my gosh, hahaha...

Up until recently the dollar exchange made out sourcing to Australia very attractive to the US, so when the Aussie dollar began to catch up and then slightly overtake the US dollar, I did wonder what would happen. To my surprise my workload, if any thing has increased, although I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop...

I sincerely hope you can retain your position as long as you are having fun doing it. From what I have read in your posts here, you write well enough to be the ghost writer I could only dream of being. lol Just having some fun with you, dear. I hate writing actually.

Well, you obviously write well enough to fool me...and having fun is a really good thing

I would be a musician! IN a heart beat. I would learn to play as many instruments as possible. I would then love to write music and play and record music with me playing all the different instruments.

I have always had respect to musicians who can play the guitar, harmonica and sing in the same song ie: Neil Young and Bruce Springteen. I have zero musical talent so this just amazes me.

Wow a fellow Neil Young fan... Neil was my late dad's hero and I was left loads of his albums and cds. He is now my fav all time artist and although I can play a few of his songs on acoustic guitar, I have yet to master the mouth organ.

I go along with JLipps4u and my dream job would be a musician. I would love to perform in front of thousands, either as a soloist or in a band.

Jon, from your posts here over the years, I get the impression that you are a master of the "mouth organ".

But seriously, you know that I too am a huge fan of Neil Young, and in fact within more recent years, my friend turned me on to his Harvest Moon album, and I love just about every song on it.

I don't remember that album, I'll have to go and look it up.

I generally don't listen to the new music of my 60's & 70's icons as they try to stay relevant, as it is usually embarrassingly bad, and I'd rather remember them as they were. But my friend Tim who went to college with me is still a huge Neil fan, and he turned me on to this fantastic album during a 1994 vacation where we stayed in various beach towns, from Virginia Beach to Myrtle Beach to Hilton Head island and Jekyll Island off the coast of Savannah Georgia. We listened to Harvest Moon that whole vacation. This is the title song.

Neil Young is a musical genius. Have you seen Dead Man, starring Johnny Depp? Neil Young created the music... so impressive...

"Dead Man is the soundtrack to the 1995 western-themed film of the same name. Neil Young recorded the soundtrack by improvising (mostly on his electric guitar, with some acoustic guitar, piano and organ) as he watched the newly edited film alone in a recording studio.

The soundtrack album consists of seven instrumental tracks by Young, with dialog excerpts from the film and Johnny Depp reading the poetry of William Blake interspersed between the music. The version of the main theme used over the film's beginning and end credits is not included,[SUP] [/SUP]but was released as a promo single.[SUP] [/SUP] The soundtrack differs from the film that it uses background noises of a driving car while the whole plot is set in 19th century (before automobiles were invented)."

There is concert where he performs the whole album, I think it's taped in Nashville. I remember he had Marylou Harris singing back-up vocals. I might have saw it on the PBS channel. I too love this album, but Everybody knows this is nowhere and On the beach are my favorites.

hey, here we are, a NY fan from the Netherlands, the uk, and America. Don't forget Neil is Canadian though. I played a few of this songs tonight in between the olympic finals. I play quite well too, apart from the mouth organ...

What does that mean ?
