My job of choice is doing research for and then writing health related articles to include in person interviews with subject matter experts, kind of a heath news journalist so to speak. This job of choice would include the option to work from home up to three days per week to complete health articles I’ve researched with deadlines. I must be willing to travel up to three days per week to attend health related conferences and/or interview subject matter experts and occasionally interview patients who have undergone certain medical treatment. I love it, writing my own job description. In addition , I must complete continuing education credits as a health journalist since this is a career with bachelors degree, masters and a PhD. ( I made that up and am not sure if this is true or not).

Oh my reality, I have a medical based education background and in the past enjoyed writing health related articles for a medical newsletter(it was one aspect of my job). In reality I’m searching for the ever perfect opportunity, of my dream job. In reality I do analyze and summarize medical data, but stressful so I will continue to search.

I've had numerous jobs in my lifetime. I got pregnant early on and had to quit school and dash my dreams in order to raise my children. I love them dearly and would not change anything. But I never was able to make a proper career for myself. I never became the architect I had set out to be all those 33 years ago. I am so proud that my adult children are following their own dreams as I worked so very hard to encourage and instill in them.

This question has made me think though. Of all my jobs I keep coming back to the idea of being a tourist counsellor again. It was pretty crummy pay but it got me through two years of university. I loved it. I was passionate about what I was doing and enjoyed the job everyday. There was not a day I woke up and said 'Ugh, I have to go to work.' Yeah, it sounds silly but I've never since felt that I belonged to a job like I did to that one.

My job of choice would be a professional soccer player. I have always loved playing soccer and have played since I was little and only stopped because of what happened to me.

Some of the best jobs to me include a challenge, helping others in some way, and a boss who supports and helps, yet does not micromanage.

I am happy exactly where I am. I don’t know if that’s good or not like if I’m not challenging myself enough, or maybe I’m just being lazy. I’m just a retail worker but I feel like I have it pretty good and I feel pretty comfortable.

Umm no, the castle. I fell in love with the castle many many years ago. But I could get you in to the air and space for free if I were a director!

My dream job is to work for myself as a full-time clock maker and restore antique mechanical devices in my own shop. I also want to make kinetic art out of metal. Presently I'm working as an apprentice tool maker. This job will eventually get me to my dream. I really enjoy it. The money is good and my coworkers are a great bunch of guys.
