I was a tour guide for Green Meadows Farms when I was between jobs. It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately, it was only seasonal.

Airline Stewardess,we were a big poor family so I thought free travel to exotic places would be like a dream. I have been married twice raised 5 children and now have 6 grandchildren and I absolutely loved it allEdited 17-May-24 12:47pm

Business. For some reason I'm drawn to it. Being in charge.

travel agent

Perform autopsies

I once dreamt about being a pilot, this didn't work out for me. There are many twists and turns in everyone's life that either gets you to your dream or they just continue to dream, or regret.

my dream job is to work with kids, another idea is to work as a bagger to place the stuff in the right order so they dont get ruined my last idea is to work to rate movies because some of them say there raided r but i think other wise

Pizza delivery

Paranormal researcher. No joke. I always wanted to be the "Giles" of Buffy or the "Bobby Singer" of Supernatural.

Air hostess

Being a mom

Never had a childhood dream job, but the best job I ever had was working in Age Care, Visiting people and listening to their stories, and helping them with their everyday chores, etc. I did 4 years and miss it so much, but now that I need my own care support, I can relate to the hard job ahead of them every day, love my girls, and they keep me focused and very much on my toes

When I was 15 I got a job in a bank. Women could not be seen by the public, they could not be tellers or anything other than a clerk. So we were hidden away as batch clerks or ledger keepers. We even had to resign once we married or ask permission to be kept on. I had long left the bank when married women were permitted to remain working and they even joined the tellers line. Good for them I thought. I was a stay at home mother for 16 years when things started to get tight, my children were all at school so I started looking for a part-time job. I saw one advertised by my old bank for a proof operator, the job titles had changed over the years, and I knew I could do the job so applied. I sat a test and got a call to tell me I didn't get the job in proof because they thought I was too good for it and I was offered a job as a teller. At the age of 39 I joined the tellers line, and if I say so myself I was very good at it. There were other tellers who always wanted to work with me because I always balanced, I had thought that was the point of the job, and someone noticed that I was good at my job and I was promoted to a back office job. Someone always noticed I was good at my job and the compliments were always sort of back handed such as, you're intelligent, you're analytical, you know more than I thought you did, I started to wonder if I looked dumb. I continued to get promoted until I was made a manager. I guess that was my dream job because I had gone from a job that had no prospects to a job that once only a man could have. I loved my job, and my customers.

Archeologist but never got there. It as always my dream to be one in Egypt.

I only ever wanted to be a primary school teacher. When I graduated, in 1977, there were more teachers than there were teaching positions. However, I got into tutoring and absolutely loved it. I tutored different ages, different levels and different subjects. It was very fulfilling seeing my students' progress. I had to stop when my health prevented me and I'll soon be retiring age, so that part of my life is over.

A nurse

I would have liked to do forensics but would no way have the stomach for some it,, lt would have to have been in a select category!

Archeologist

Archaeologist but my vision is not good enough.

Owning a riding stable.

I always wanted to be a teacher for the blind. I even learnt Braille. Dreams are great to have.

I am doing my dream job... it is volunteer but I am happy doing it

Photo stylist

I worked with an aero-space Company for a number of years and met my husband there. We had such a happy time together with various members of the staff but all good things come to an end and I had to leave when my hands started to let me down from too many hours spent on my electric typewriter.

fortunately all my jobs were dream jobs but wife & mother has been the best

Counting penguin's in Antartica

Mine is I am already retired and just do what ever I like

Realistically I thought that being a natural therapist would be a good job. I have way with sick people. I can pick up on illnesses and health issues just by looking or being near someone. I went back to school doing year 12 chemistry but just couldn't do the maths side of it ,so I trained to work with children instead ,running programs for all ability year round( arts,cooking,sports etc.) Loved it.

I once did a interior design course but didn't manage to finish it.

Electrician...but I had to study this and that so...having a few diplomas...but still I’m pretty good at repairing everything electric! Just the other day two electrician came to repair a ceiling light, it was too high for me, they wanted to change the whole lot. I suggested to them a simple solution, they looked at me and followed my advice! I was so very proud...

To work in the research & development Department of a major chocolate manufacturer. Funnily enough, I live in Ballarat Victoria, and have a diploma in Food Technology from the University of Ballarat. Alas however, it wasn't meant to be!🙂

I am retired

my dream job?.... was no job at all, lol THAT was my dream 'job'.....

I wanted to own a sweet shop just like the one in the original movie of " Charlie and the chocolate factory". Thank goodness I didn't .I would be in serious debt by now.😅

Never had a dream job, ambition was beaten out of me

I would like to be a taster in a chocolate factory !

Beer taster at the brewery. One can dream.

never had a dream but my dad was a ambo and i think he wanted me to follow in his footsteps.BUT i could'nt do it as too softy in nature

Working for a Natural Therapies Clinic - sure opened up my eyes to drug pushing in this country. Best job I ever had.

Psychologist

Good on you!

My own retail aquarium...

Marine biologist

A nurse

Teacher. Now these days it’s not worth it

I always wanted to be a Mum. In the process I have been a nurse, a psychologist, a teacher, a companion, a protector, a carer and so much more. It has been my greatest joy and sorrow, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It was just the ass I chose to be their father that was the problem.

Policeman

I wanted to act... then become a vet

As a kid we had satellites, people (and a dog!) flying around the Earth and walking around the moon...so wanting to be an astronaut was a fairly normal dream for any little boy....seemed the whole world was obsessed with space travel back then... Edited 16-May-24 14:21pm

I wanted to be an actress

I'll let you know when or if I ever find it !

Yes, I always wanted to be a vet, I nearly started doing some work experience but I had to get there very early in the mornings, which put me off, especially being in Winter time. So, ended up doing secretarial work, I was a fast typist and great at English.

It took me most of my working life, at a job I hated as much as you can hate anything, and I finally found my real job: Labour Lawyer. Sadly, I figured it out too late to get the necessary training, I can still advise others in Ontario, Canada about the law.

My dream job was that I wanted to be a nurse, but I was too emotional when I saw people in too much pain ,so I worked in stores for a very long time.

surfing the internet

Staying healthy and alive at my age.

My dream job is the one I got now. I'm nearly 60 and it took me 36 years, but I slowly worked my way up the ladder and now I'm here. The trouble with the younger generation is that they don't stay in a job long enough to reap the rewards. The "I want it now" generation that is so use to getting things instantly with a push of a button (eBay/dating sites/welfare) don't know the true value of sticking with something and slowly over time keep improving yourself and your situation. It takes time but in the long run (long meaning stick with it) it is by far the better option. I worry about some younger family member I know, that by the time they get to my age will have nothing. No job, no house, no savings...and welfare will be their only goal in life.

My dream was to get a job and I got it!

Working as a Mechanical Engineer which I outgrew 46 years ago now and now I work in the Computer Security Area which is far more satisfying and I can get a job if I leave this place without a problem.

My dream job was to be an air hostess but never got there.

I wanted to do some thing with animals like a vet or a zoo keeper. Wasn't smart enough for either and when I was little all I wanted to be was a mum and well we all know how that ended so very very sadly. Oh well such as life and we get over things and move on.

I just wanted to be rich enough to build houses for the homeless and feed the hungry :( no where near that :(

My dream job was to be an Author and an Artist. One of the reasons I never got there is because the internet came along and took over. I am still a good writter, and artist to a certain degree.

radio technician at commercial; station in Melbourne....I have a 'ham radio' license and a volunteer at a community radio station in Canberra......been involved with radio for 50 odd years

traveling, meeting different people

I always wanted to do something creative

Contortionist and exotique dancer😇

I had always wanted to be a teacher , but life got in the way there, as the kids came my focus became being the best dad I could be, I worked very hard at that, but as a grandpa and everything I have learned in life I think I have found my dream job, took me 60 odd years to achieve it but it's the most rewarding thing you can do, and in a way i suppose I am teaching in a way

Fitter/Machinist did my apprenticeship, ended up in shipping repairs (shoe-side) then heavy-duty engine repairs, now retired and paying for it with a very bad back.

My dream job was to be a lawyer because I thought it was cool to dress up look good and put people in jail

When I was a little girl, I loved to play with paper dolls. I would spend hours designing new outfits for them. I thought that I would grow up to be a fashion designer. I studied Fashion Merchandising and I got a job working in the Display department of a large department store. My job was dressing the women's mannequins, choosing their clothing, accessories, and styling their hair. It was such a fun job, like playing with life-size Barbie dolls.

Loved writing,travelling and wanted to be a journalist.

To be an author ever since I can remember I believe at ten is when I started writing my memoir. As of today, I have written 7 books. My dream job fulfilled . 😆

I am currently doing my dream job which is owning a business.

My dream job was to be a radio operater in the merchant navy If I’d bont that I would be out of work now. So I became a plumber and never had a day out of work

I always dreamed of being a nurse but due to circumstances never got there which is one of my biggest regrets in life! My advice to young people today would be to follow your dreams and don't end up having regrets when you're too old to do anything about it.

My dream as a child was to become as famous actress in which I always wanted to be on TV shows or movies. If that didn't work out than I wanted to open up my own clothing line and open up an online to store.

I was either going to be a journalist like my father , a beautician or a chef .. all creative jobs I was told much later in life .. when I had finished up with chef's work and still deciding what else I could possibly do? Would have liked to do floristry too but wasn't prepared to get up and go the early markets ! As a side note that picture looks extremely like my little sis as a youngster .. tomboyish ;)

My dream job would be to be able to do Data Entry and also Secretary duties as well as office work.

TO BE A UNIVERSITY PROFESRO AND AND THANK THE LORD I GOT IT AND DID IT WELL

My dream job was to become a massage therapist and I did my course and recided a distinction when I did my exams being able to help people in need was very rewarding

Navy Pilot but bad eyes

A hairdresser but my path went a different way.

To work with kids with special learning needs

Being a teacher, so much wore this ambition on my sleeve that people actually asked me if I was one, so got halfway there looking the part ... but managed to do it as well helping out the teaching staff by helping children with "motor skills" difficulties in a separate classroom ie little gilrs didn't know how to skip others didn't even know how to hold a pencil. Had guiding notes from the Children's Hospital and the results spoke for themselves .. all these children needed was one on one attention as they did the same process at their own speed with amazing results. I looke behind me one day in the school yard and some of them followed me around like little ducks following the mumother duck.

I wanted to be an English teacher.

Because of my passion for food I wanted to be a chef but I remember for yr 10 work experience I went and worked in a big commercial kitchen. At the end of it the Head Chef suggested that due to my diminitive statue and the amount of heavy lifting and carrying involved it would be too physically challenging, so I never did go onto be a Chef, I chose to be a mixologist instead and saved the cooking for family and friends

My dream job when I was young was to be in the Navy like my dad, he was in WW2. I did join the Navy at 17 and that is where I met my husband.

Thanks everybody for liking my comment.that is very nice of all of you. Very Very cool

To be retired :)

To go to sea. And I did. Grommie only appeared on the scene when I swallowed the anchor.

I’m in my dream job now, living my life! I get to choose what I want to do every day; I can be an artist, a chef, a gardenerette, read, a photographer 👌 I’m also a proud mum, nurse and a preschool teacher…

either a police officer or a typist... managed to be a typist cos the entry age for the police at the time was 25, and I wanted to be married with kids by then.

My Dream Job would have been working with the baby animals in the San Diego Zoo's Petting Zoo, where all the people could interact with the animals. It was inside the main zoo but, stupidly, I married at 18 instead. So Stupid! I feel like I wasted my live...over, and over again. ;-(

Always wanted to work with animals. Now I am an advocate for them

Mine was just à dream lol.

I work for a water well company making 36 inch diamiter wells up to 150 feet deep for farmers in Saskatchewan.
