I suppose i'm one of the luck ones who can say i'm working in a job i love, with people i can depend on. Dream job? No, if you're working, you're doing exactly that, working. This job is a close to ideal as it gets for me.

Also, for me it's not just the job, it's the people you work with. You can be deeply unhappy in a job that you actually like if your co workers are not very nice people.

I'd love to work for:

1) The ESA (European Space Agency)
2) The SETI institute (SETI uses real science to search for signs of intelligent life outside our solar system. i.e. it is not some "OMG, the UFO's are everywhere" load of bollix).
3) A decent computer games company working on rendering engines or similar
4) Run my own business. I have several ideas that I think could all be worthwhile, but financial stability is more important at the moment.
5) If I were independently wealthy I'd love to devote myself full time to the Thai Boxing while I'm still young enough.
6) If i were independently wealthy I'd contribute to / work on open source software. Would love to understand the linux kernel better and perhaps contribute to it.

Holy sh*t I'm a total geek.

You'd be a busy man with all that!

How Strange

Running a lodge style guest house somewhere in the country, not necessarily Ireland. Maybe Connemara, West Cork, South Kerry, Donegal or in France. I'd offer hiking, kayaking trips etc which the OH would run as a separate business.

Oh I can dream

Mr Yellow

POLITICIAN (genuine & uncorrupted mind you) who could sort out this f**ked up country once & for all

Cause you're always being lapped by him?

Those are two diverse jobs. I was the same though. Thought I'd want to work in environmental/ecological arena, but as it turns out i just liked it as a hobby. Now I work in IT and I love it.

NothingMan

Top gear presenter, Wouldn't care about show quality though as long as I got to drive mad expensive cars and crash all the cheap ones in a game of car football i'd be happy.

Realistically i'd love to open up a relaxed atmosphere venue bar in Dublin city. I'd love to have a stage set up constantly with stock equipment where acts could just get up and play without too much hassle. Lots of comfortable seating, cheap pool table and a reasonable priced pint. I'd work the bars on the quiter nights and hire some actual barmen for when it's busy! Dress code would be anything as long as you don't look like an arsehole, and by that I mean tracksuits and skinny jeans on guys!

beks101

Best selling novelist / investigative journalist / documentary presenter...

But I'd settle for the novelist part! I work in broadcast so I guess I'm not exactly in the wrong field

But sometimes I think being a solicitor or accountant would be a better idea...

xzanti

I'd love to be a Make-up artist.. did a course a few years back but never really followed it, it's too hard to get into and a friend of mine who's at it years is finding it near impossible to get work these days..

minidazzler

What I would be good at: Psychologist. Maybe I will some day, who knows.

What I would like to do: Actor, proper actor, either West-end, Broadway or Hollywood. None of this Irish film industry ****e.

What I would love to do: Military. Too bad about these old eyes huh.

Also some other thing's I would be good at.
Writing really crap Mills and Boon books because I can write erotic literature surprizingly well :P.

Security work, proper security. Though I am too lazy to get a PSA licence!

Running my own company....I have Idea's they just haven't been put into motion yet.

No, no it's not.

nialo

love to be in a ski instructor during the winter and diving instructor during the summer, to live between the slopes and the sea, half and half!

Pigwidgeon

My dream one was to be a radiographer, then to specialise in either MRI's or ultrasounds, I even got accepted to do it in Scotland this year, but after killing myself for the leaving I didn't get the grades to get in there or here.
I'd also love to do music photography.

At the moment though, all I know is I want to get involved in a job that's caring and deals with people. I'd go crazy at a desk job.

I love hearing when people have dreams like this. It's amazing to me that, no matter how many people want to get rich and famous etc, there's always people who wanna do things that actually matter to people on a personal level. It amazes me that, for every job that could be conceived of in the world, there's someone who wants to do it. From bin-man to politician, door-to-door salesman to actor, child psychologist to secondary school teacher. The diversity of people's personalities is immeasurable sometimes.

That's a good question!

I change my mind every day about what I want to do. I'll probably end being a writer of some kind, don't know in what field though.

Occasionally I get an urge to do something random like work in a prison as a warden and kick some criminal ass. I think it's the batons that do it for me...:p

Yeah, you aren't allowed hurt them, and most wardens just wouldn't anyway unless they were attacked. Keep life simple for themselves!

Prison officers don't walk around with batons, they have to be issued and thats only when something serious kicks off with multiple people.

I think it's happened twice in the last 10 years.


Me?
Body piercer.

But that ain't going to happen so I'll take pe teacher
