Have you ever daydreamed about The Ideal Job? If it wasn't about money... if you could do whatever you wanted... anywhere in the world... what would you do?

I came up with a few here, which are brief but could be elaborated upon (if an archaeologist, what culture? time period? concentration? if an artist, creating what?....)

If yours is not listed, what would it be? and where?

ETA: The Poll Options can be 2 or more... ie Multiple Choices Possible!

I'd take Paula Abdul's place on American Idol.

What are your dream jobs?

Aside from an ice-cream tester for Ben & Jerry's ( ), I can't think of specific roles I'd want. I know I would want it to be something where I'd be able to travel, it would have to be working with people (introverted jobs suck, to me), and I'd prefer it have something to do with aesthetics, nature, or some sort of visual beauty. And, like, 90 days of vacation a year. ha ha.

Writer. I have been told I'm quite talented, now I just need to stick to it long enough to finish my novel.

For a paying job, I'd love to be a host of a travel show
If I didn't have to worry about money I'd really like to do aid work in Africa and India - that's my dream job, and that's why I'd like to try to retire early (I'm starting my own accounting firm, so hopefully it's not TOO unrealistic!).

I put captain of the high seas, but I'm thinking I should have put archaeologist instead. I love being outdoors under the heat of the sun as both imply, but the relevance of history gives archaeology the edge. Those are some varied and interesting options!

I would love to be special FX makeup artist. Or a props person for a movie set. OR a personal dresser for Shania or Dolly Parton,,,got to admit they do have some wild get ups.

If I didn't have a family, I'd choose astronaut. I think I would love exploring space, perhaps living on a space station or walking on another planet. Just the view...

If I had to stay on Earth, I'd choose Movie or TV Actress. But, again, only if I didn't have a family.

I would act and/or sing in any medium--movies, TV, live theatre, radio.....

Definitely the chef. My second choice was going to be an airplane pilot.

Oh, on second thought, I've recently fantasized about hosting a Rachel Ray-type show!

Feeding baby lion cubs with a bottle or dolphin trainer!

Being a World Traveller...doing write ups for travel magazines about exotic locations....places they have to send me first.... Hehe!!! I love travelling!!

How about a job with the Army? You would travel alot, work with other people, you would be doing PT (physical training) outside every morning, and you would get alot of days off (government holidays are nice).

Be careful what you wish for!!!

Mine would be to own my own bakery. I love baking and making cookies. Never had a complaint yet, but who complains about cookies??? So that would be a chef for me. In fact I plan on going to culinary school soon.
