Dream job(s)

I would love to be an entertainer. Comedy/acting. Yeah it's pretty cliche, but it's what I'd like to do. I do it anyway in my everyday life. It comes pretty naturally.
 
Game programmer working for Mist Walker.
It would be interesting to work with the real makers of Final Fantasy. (Most of the people working for Mist Walker were the people who worked on the best of the series.)
 
Lol! Don't make fun of me for this! Most likely a librarian :) they make tons of money and I've helped out in the library before. If not a librarian, a history or English teacher. Before I was working towards being a veterinarian, but I realized that I can't work with blood or cutting things up open :(
 
My DREAM job would be Senator of the great state of Nevada. I wish it was possible but politics is a slippery slope where no two politicians road to sucess are the same... I want to help my state escape the tyranny of big governent and this hold Harry Reid has over us. Hard-working Nevadans don't deserve this and I deeply wish I could do something... It's a dream I'll always be chasing..
 
Since I've yet to find a creative outlet for myself, it'll be hard to imagine a dream job.

When I was a little child I always wanted to be a hero, and I genuinely believed I'd be untying young women from train tracks in the nick of time, using the same rope to apprehend the villain with the eccentric moustache. I was told this wasn't an actual job at the time, but I believed I'd one day prove them wrong. Too bad that never happened. :D

When I grew a bit older (5 - 8'ish) I wanted to be a storywriter or author.. And wrote terrible stories, but they were ace and imaginative for me at the time. Then the teacher crushed this and told me not to be silly, and to do football like everyone else. Since footballs are near lethal to me, I couldn't do that either.

When I first played FF I wanted to be a games designer or something, but grew to accept it isn't going to happen.

So now I'm not too sure. I'm studying Ancient History at the moment at Uni so one could say my dream job would be something archaeological / museum related, but I'm unsure if that would be my "dream" job. I still have an interest in my imagination, but have no outlet for it at the moment...

My "dream" job doesn't exist, and it is still to become a kick-ass hero wandering from place to place where help is needed. But that's just a fantasy.

This is going to make me sound so gay...

I want to be in Musical Theater. I've loved it since i was very young. I go to the Theater alot and love every moment i spend in those fantastic buildings!
Ideally I would love to be the Phantom Of the Opera. Not in it, I'd have to BE the phantom.
My ambition is my music/acting, I feel thats reason enough for it to be a dream job!

Hey man, do what you love. I don't see why people think that because of a chosen occupation that it auto assumes your sexual orientation.

Like I've already noted my dream job would be running a HUGE gaming center. Like maybe a hotel that is connected to one, so who ever pays for it, can stay over night.. type thing. Eh, dreams baby.. gotta have them.
 
My honest to God dream job is to be a high school history teacher. I've wanted to be a teacher since I was five. I've never changed my mind. Its something that I felt I was meant to do. It's weird though because most people don't want to be teachers and even the ones that do never admit to wanting to teach high school or history or math.

I've always wanted my job to be something realistic. I guess that was a flaw when I was younger. I lacked imagination I suppose. All the other kinds said stuff like astronaut, dentist, racecar driver, stuntman, professional gamer, but for me it was always plain and simple; a teacher.

I guess that makes me sound boring huh?
 
There are a lot of things I want to accomplish in life, but whether or not I want them to be official? That's when I start thinking about a dream job. People say thier dream is to write a book or a play or something, but obviously the connotations behind that is to get recognition. I've written both and people liked them, I've put some shows on for free and they went down well. My life is fufilled in those departments, I don't need to make a profession out of it. But If I really had to have a dream to reach out, it would have to be a place at Cal Arts of film school. Gneral film and animation are things that do generally require the public opinion proper to be considered fufilled. So if I keep working...or creating...
Who knows, eh? Hehe. Failing that I'd like to at least be a small time animator or the owner of a comic book store. Those would all suit me to the ground.
 
Either being a video game designer or being a video game player/tester.

I could never actually do designing because my programming ability isn't very good. Actual design work is pretty boring too, but the idea of creating a game would be absolutely epic. Even if it was a design or refining of a current game, like Final Fantasy, that would be awesome too.

Being a video game player/tester would be awesome as well. Now when I say player, I don't mean a Major League Gamer, but I guess getting paid to work on games and possibly find secrets with them and such. Just playing games for a living would be a lot of fun. Being a tester to new games would be cool too. Being a tester is a kids job, one in which I'm probably overqualified with (as a result of having a degree and wanting more than minimum wage money). I don't put a lot of stock into money, but my rent and other necessities would require I make more than a typical tester makes.
 
Dreams..who hasn't dreams in nowadays? ^^''

-as for me I got plenty,but I don't know if I can accomplish One of them at least,such as: cooking Chef [started recently cooking lessons], to be a Writer [not for fame or money,just to see a book wrote by me and to be pleasant to read] : D
Also,of course as we all know you can't get your dream fulfilled if you don't actually WORK to make it true,as here we aren't talking about the Job will fall right in your arms just like that[well maybe if you are very rich or smth >.> ]
But I think we can make our Dream Job's true if we work hard,as the satisfaction after it will be great! :cheer:
 
I've always wanted to be a stand up comedian, a rapper, or a history teacher. Now that I'm almost 19 I realized I'm not gonna be any of them. So now my dreamjob is something that pays $14 an hour and is easy and leaves me with an open schedule.
 
I want to join the circus.

but, I dont think my body will hold up. im not built for it.
got bad knees...
hey, but id take being a freak too. but still
how does one even join a circus?
if I knew. id probably try harder to make it happen XD
 
I've wanted to create videogames my entire life. I was too young to think about it when I got my first videogame system: Intellivision. But by the time I got my NES, I was always talking about how cool it would be to create games. I would comment on how "whoever made this game could beat it with no trouble at all!" I'm working on it, but I've got a LOOOOONG way to go. At the moment, I'm learning Python on my free time. The following code is the closest I've come to making a game (which isn't very close at all):
#Import and Initialization
## Import Modules
import pygame, sys,os
from pygame.locals import * #import everything from locals, which is in the pygame module.
## Initialize Pygame
pygame.init()

# Screen Variables
screen_width = 480
screen_height = 60
white = (255,255,255)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((screen_width,screen_height))
screen_size_converted = pygame.Surface(screen.get_size()).convert()
screen_size_converted.fill(white)

# Image Variables
cloud_image = pygame.image.load("cloud.png")
cloud_image_position = [240,0]
cloud_image_move = [0,0]

# Clock Variable
FPS_clock = pygame.time.Clock()

# Keep the program running until the user decides to quit
program_open = True
program_closed = False

while program_open:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT or event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
program_open = program_closed
# Allow movement of the image with user input (ARROW KEYS)
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
cloud_image_move[0] = 1
print "Move RIGHT, Cloud!"
if event.type == pygame.KEYUP and event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT and cloud_image_move[0] == 1:
cloud_image_move[0] = 0
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
cloud_image_move[0] = -1
print "Move LEFT, Cloud!"
if event.type == pygame.KEYUP and event.key == pygame.K_LEFT and cloud_image_move[0] == -1:
cloud_image_move[0] = 0
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_UP:
cloud_image_move[1] = -1
print "Move UP, Cloud!"
if event.type == pygame.KEYUP and event.key == pygame.K_UP and cloud_image_move[1] == -1:
cloud_image_move[1] = 0
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_DOWN:
cloud_image_move[1] = 1
print "Move DOWN, Cloud!"
if event.type == pygame.KEYUP and event.key == pygame.K_DOWN and cloud_image_move[1] == 1:
cloud_image_move[1] = 0
screen.fill(white)
screen.blit(cloud_image, cloud_image_position)
pygame.display.flip()
cloud_image_position[0] += cloud_image_move[0]
cloud_image_position[1] += cloud_image_move[1]
FPS_clock.tick(45)

In order to execute the code, download Python for free and run it within either IDLE (the usual Python interpreter) or Pyscripter (included with "Python Portable"), which is what I use. Also, I've uploaded the image to imageshack for you: http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8748/cloudz.png Simply download the image, rename it to "cloud.png" and include it in the same directory that you save the code to (as a .py file). As for who created that image of Cloud, I forgot who, but I do know I got it from a free sprite bank online. ** EDIT: I forgot to tell you that you will also need to download and install Pygame. **

My dream job, as someone else here, would indeed be to create games for Square Enix, as they are RPG-heavy, and I know I'd love to create story-driven RPG's.

I've also always wanted to be an author, but never really got serious about it. I have a couple of ideas. One is to write a fictional narrative about a clinically depressed man. I think it would hit close to home for a lot of people. Another is a fictional narrative about an animal living on a factory farm, destined for the slaughterhouse. I would like to add personality to the animal through the narrative; explain how he/she wonders who it's mother is; wonders what it feels like to breathe fresh air, all the while describing the horrors it is going through, such as watching it's brothers and sisters being brutally murdered.

Last but not least, I'd love to own my own "mom & pop" retail comic book/trading card/videogame/book/movie store. I'd like it to be generally large enough to have a wide selection of products, but small enough for me personally to work behind the counter and interact with customers. I'd have multiple TV's with different sports games on some, visitors playing videogames on others, and maybe a few for cool movies, such as the original Star Wars trilogy. I'd even have a snack/coffee bar. I'd basically want my customers to feel at home and enjoy a personal experience as they purchase enjoyable, entertaining products.

But now, I work at a grocery store. I started last year as a bagger (courteousy clerk), then got "promoted" to day-stocker (Oooh $0.10 raise!). Then I went to the produce department and was eventually trained to check. Now they have me working in the meat department. I became a vegan shortly after they started me in the meat department. My starting pay was $8.10/hour, and now it is $8.50/hour; $9.50/hour when I check (which is rare because the company is cheap). I'm going to see if I can get a job at Chase Bank. Not my dream job, but their starting pay is way better, and I wouldn't have to walk around in ground meat & bleach-soaked shoes for crap pay.

Edit: The above code won't work because the forum doesn't preserve indentation. If you're really interested in seeing it work, PM me and I will E-Mail the actual .py file to you.

My dream job is going to become a reality in about 9 months when I graduate for nursing.....I've been a nurse at heart since I bandaged up my teddy's leg and stuck band-aids all over my dollies when I was 2. I can't wait for the day when I'm done with school :cry:
 
My dream job I guess, is to teach at a college or university where I can do my own research and participate in other's.

Although partaking in an RPG in some capacity would be cool, not sure how my background would help but there is always room for creative input right?
 
I want a proper, professional job where I can dress in a suit and am appreciated. Not being scolded by some guy for spilling grease and having to wear an apron.
