The BBC are running a series looking at dream jobs, starting with Chocolate Taster and Professional Lego Modeller.
So what would yours be? 🙂
OK so i voted none of the above as my dream job would be textile designer! yeah yeah whatever its rugged!! Do you remember taking that test at secondry school were you punch in some answers to random questions and it tells you your ideal job.... well mine was BUTLER - now i'm married with kids i can saftly say am doing that job 😆
Final post before I head away for Christmas break, chocolate taster sounds good to me! Would find the 'spitting out' rather difficult though. 😉
That's something I'm struggling with finding at the moment. I was a teacher, but at the moment am unemployed and waiting for supply work, while also looking at other job options. I would love a job that is involved in the education of children in some way, for example as part of a team that goes into schools, but have no idea where to start looking for something like that. I love working with children, but if have found it hard to have a good work-life balance, especially with the demands of the jobs and having two young children. Any suggestions anyone ❓
Dream Job's a good question. I love the job i have but i'm a musician who works in I.T. Dream job would be getting paid (same salary i'm not after millions) to just play my music full time.
Im too old to say a professional footballer,but i'd love to be involved somehow in the beutiful game-maybe as a commentator or recording the stats for Opta or something. 😀 D
I chose the one I have now,
Because seriously.. I love my job right now..
What do you do Matsuken - and are there any vacancies!!!
I wanted to join the army as a combat medical tech, do my time then look at joining the police.
but the wife (girlfriend at the time) didn't like this idea.
can't do it now as i earn more than i would as a CMT.

Hated it .....to be frank it just wasnt me, but after my oldest came along i felt even more trapped and kinda rushed along buisiness plans i had for years to start my own buisiness. worked my [censored] off with buisiness gateway and working on the project while (sshhhhhhh) i was on the sick ooops...it was yeaars ago lol,anyways in the end i was awarded 1700 more from bgateway and i was over the moon. it was a mural painting business e.g kids rooms ,winnnie the poo nemo scooby doo etc etc etc,all free hand original artwork,even done my kids school for nothing to promote the business, picture in the paper the lot. but......wasnt no where near prepared for all that was involved got myself in a mess and it failed. and so did i.lost my family my dignity my self esteem .....my [censored] was on the floor for a long time. just teachng guitar here n there n generaly doing nothing for 4 years ....... although i have plans to restart the business i am now painting canvases peoples pets old pictures of family members etc etc. the mega out there dream is still music though ,i love my guitars almost as much as my girls lol but we have to dream i suppose.................

Sounds like a great plan.
Wow painting - what a great way to earn a living. You obviously have a talent.
It was brave to give up a job and start your own business. That takes guts. Good on you mate.
