Well? Are you? And if your not, what are you trying to do about it? Do you need Tyler Durden to come and hold a gun to your head to get you to do it?

I sit on my ass all day surfing the internet and playing video games. So I voted yes.
In America I have bad teeth. If I lived in England my teeth would be perfect.
My dream job is actually to be a writer. I have a degree in Journalism so I dreamt of being a freelancer. Unfortunately the writing jobs here in the Philippines don't pay well. Of course I chose practicality over ambition for now.
I am simply myself, no more and no less. And I only want to be free.
My dream job is to be a Space Marine.
I'm currently unemployed, and have only worked at a carousel in my life.
My dream job would be to own my own private Island.
yea, that would be just right! Mhmmm...
I could make enough from my resorts to vacation elsewhere during hurricane season!
I own my own helicopter business, fly helicopters, and play with my kids. Is there anything better? I think not.
Honestly I never thought about a dream job. Ive tossed numerous ideas around, but the cynic in me finds a reason not to persue these ideas.
I never planned on being a GIS analyst, but thats what I do. I also manage a 45 PC network which processes extremely large data sets and imagery. I dont mess with the database stuff, just the hardware, software and some of the networking issues. Its a very geeky job, which I enjoy a lot. The place I work for is extremely flexible in that we work our own schedules for the most part as long as we meet our salary hours per pay period. Theres no strict dress codes since I work in a SCIF.
In a nutshell, its not my dream job buy I do well. Its low stress, plenty of opportunity and gives me a creative outlet in GIS map design as well as feeding my geeky technical side with IT.

dunno really, i spend most of my free time repairing things for others, comps, furniture, just about anything really heh. I've been helping out others for so long now i guess i just never thought about what i would want to do for myself.
Got a house paid off, several cars, some old ones to rebuild, play games when i have a chance, work work work heh. i love work...weird...anwyays.
I dunno anymore, not sure i ever really thought about it, maybe a farmer? i love growing stuff...also love building things....meh i'll never know i guess haha.
I did get some schooling for Graphic design, out of high school, but had to drop it to take care of Grandparents...was interesting learning since i have done art for most my life.
eh i'm tired and rambling sorry.

I never had a dream job so I went to college without knowing what I wanted. Started as electrician, got bored after 1 semester and dropped the course, but one of my uncle had a business and I got a taste of electrician work there, really repetitive job..
So then I had a 12k course in computer technician, worked in an hospital for 2 month, got bored beyond human understanding. The job was non-challenging and anyone could do that. Old ladys (most of them) don't know shit about computers and you receive call like this one: "My computer do not start!!" you get to her place and her screen is turned off, or "My mouse is not working" and the second you get there you see it's a wireless mouse with a battery socket.. Did you change your battery? OH! I didn't know there was batterie..
And after I left that place I went back to college but droped after a year, my grandad offered my to manage his part department and said yes. I am now one of the owner and it's a lot harder then most job I did.
Well my dream job would be psychiatrist, but I never had the high grades that it needed to enroll to a medical school.
But after a few years I realised that I enjoyed a lot working for the tourism industry so I do my best there:)
A friend is not him who provides support during your failures.A friend is the one that cheers you during your successes.
LOL I could hire you all to do your dream jobs on my own private Island!
Daendor flying choppers over the island, Scalebane the local Pineapple farmer, N25Philly with the sex in the tropics porn studios, sniper running the resort ... hahahahah!
I think I'm kind of like Scalebane in regards to liking to fix things. I spend quite a bit of my time fixing random stuff for myself but lately more so for my friends and people they know. For the past couple of months I've been asked to go with friends to check out cars they plan to buy. Apparently I know more about cars then they do.
I think in general I just like working with my hands. I'm pursuing my Journeyman's Electrical License which should be done in a year or so, give or take. I've done plumbing, carpentry, drywall and so on. Nothing major but enough to have an understanding of how to do it. I find the longer I work in one trade the easier it is to wrap my head around the others. To me it just kinda flows from one to another. Not so much into the farming thing. As a kid I grew up on a farm and I don't think I want to go back to it unless I had to.
So when it comes to a dream job, I think anything that lets me build stuff or make stuff work. Something where I can at the end step back look up and say "yep, I built this".
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
GIS as in Geographical Information systems? I ask because I am an Urban Land Use Major, and am currently taking GIS 4860 and it is a required 4 credit class that is an absolute pain in the ass. And the instructor is totally horrible. Talks to us like we are in 1st grade during the lectures, and then when the lab comes, hides in the corner on the PC and helps no one. Shit if I fail this class I will not graduate next year. And I'm like 114/120 to graduate. /slashwrists...
do you have any tips or suggestions to help me? I think imma buy a tutor to help me ; ; I'm supposed to be in class right now, but I don't want to go cuz I know I'll just sit there and get hella pissed/fumed/frustrated, I'm about to start hitting things. XD
LOL, I'm an Urban land use major only because I was washed out of 3 years of Air Force ROTC at Arizona State University at the time pursuing a meteorology degree. Even passed field training with honors in top %10 percent score for pyhsical fitness tests...just had to graduate and get my 2nd Lt. bars....
(holy shit this major should be called atmospheric engineering because thats what it basically is) stuck with all the Mechanical engineers, Electrical Engineers, and physics majors... I walked into a class full of Asian and Indian kids and was like "oh shit, I'm way in over my head, and I knew it too... lost the scholarship, crash and burn, into a state college...
So thats where all of the credits transferred the most.
I was trying to be a pilot in the Air Force, but failed.
If I could pick any other dream job, it would be a professional F1 race car driver. Man, those guys get mad tail, and get to drive the most sophisticated race cars on the planet.
I'd have no trouble with that!
as for me im currently making my way up to my dream job. i cant afford to send myself to flight school but i have time to earn it through my day job. also im taking MBA so i could earn $$$.
Professional actor. Currently studying and acting my balls off in college to be able to achieve this, and keeping my foot in the door to actually be able to accomplish it.
