Probably The owner of a golf club/Course. Right now i help out at a local golf, Receiving no pay, But getting alot of discounts and free green fee's and driving range tokens (Sounds cheap, But it's a great deal.) Besides Maintenance and keeping the golf course in nice shape, It sounds like a pretty fun job.

I don't know although I would enjoy being a recording engineer however given today's music I would probably hate it more than anything ¬.¬

Seriously, though, I think I'd want to be a video game writer, which is what I'm planning to do.

Edit: By writer, I mean dealing with story, not a programmer.
As someone who is currently behind writing a story for a game (Characters, setting, plot, etc etc.) as well as parts of the script, let me tell you it's alot of fun. However, i will give you two pieces of advice.

1. ALWAYS have more then one person check your work. Trust me, what might look good to you may end up looking terrible to others. Besides, it's always good to have other opinions and you might even end up with some good idea's coming from them too. Not saying don't get creative, but it never hurts to have someone check something..especially when you're essentially the only writer.

2. Check for plot holes and make sure things flow smoothly. I probably shouldn't have to say this one but, you'd honestly be surprised how many people have written works that just jump around, leave unresolved plot threads hanging (And not for sequel purposes), or literally flow terribly. Can't say you can't leave things open for possible sequels, but it never hurts to make sure things which are built up as important aren't just completely abandoned and forgotten about right?

Anyway, that's my two cents and while i know you didn't ask for any advice..well, we're both budding writers so it never hurts to have someone give pointers sometimes now does it? ^^

Librarian... I know weird right, but I love my books...

Am currently a tour guide at a historical center (I get to dress up in the lovely big dresses, gloves, bonnet, the works :D).

1. Being better than Opeth. Impossible, but I can dream, can't I?

2. Roadie for a band I love, or the bouncer at a venue/sound tech at a venue.

3. English teacher. Teachers these days don't teach well. Just last year, we were assigned an eighth grade level book. I was a Sophomore in highschool. What the hell.

It would mean the World to me if I could become an Anime Cartoonist or something to do with Art itself in Animation. However, at this point I can't even get a job anywhere including at McDonalds. This just spits on the foundations of my life, to ever hope getting my dream job... *sigh*.

EDIT: OH and a Game Designer!! I love games, so working for a company like Bethesda would be the best career ever!!
I know what that's like, I can't even get the easy stuff in life right and am having doubts I can make my dreams come true. *more sighs*

There are a few options I'd be more than happy with:

Option A: actor. Obviously I'd prefer to act on TV or in films. Probably TV if only for stability. I would love to voice act on video games but I think the best bet would be to get in on a daytime soap or something. You know, the kind of show that's an actual TV show but has no ending.

Option B: writer. Once again, writing films or, episodes of TV shows would be awesome but I really want to do novels or, collections of short stories. I have some stuff posted on a pair of deviant art accounts and I write movie gists on Cracked.com but I'm not paid for that crap. Still, it's better than nothing at this point.

Option C: multi-billionaire. I wouldn't actually do anything here. Nothing productive anyway. With that kind of money though I'd definitely have a production company and probably a game studio. Otherwise I'd just be dicking around at home. I don't want to work. I'm a Peter Gibbons.

At the moment I'm doing exactly nothing even remotely close to one of my three ideal 'jobs'. I'm working at a local Target, stocking the shelves from the ass-crack of dawn till about noon. Every blue moon they have me on a register. I haven't acted since last Halloween when I was a part of a haunted trail/house and I don't write for money (I do write though, just for fun since nobody wants to pay me)

As for the billionaire part...I'm currently sitting on a three-figure bank account e.e

I'd love to be a comic book writer, I love comics and the works of great writers like Morrison, Ellis, Moore and countless others. I'm actually studying to be a Doctor though, so I can't really complain.

My dream career is to either be in a band or to become a successful writer. Right now I'm a florist so that doesn't really help with either of those but next year I'm hoping to study English at university so that'll help with the writing thing.

I want to be a trauma surgeon

Currently doing a masters in Japanese linguistics.

Life is funny like that. Medical school is sos competitive in the UK so I am going to an ex-communist country instead.

Seriously, after stupid Nick Clegg and his fees I will take on whatever nationality of the country who lets me have a medical education.

I'm already in the middle of my dream career/s really. I want to work in theatre, which I am in Stage Management and also technical production - usually with lighting. I am also writing plays and radio dramas that keep me busy in my spare time.

Would be nice if I was actually getting paid though.

If I could have the ability to do the job, and pick anything, then aerospace engineer. If it has to be realistic, videogame writer. I've already got my own sci-fi universe running, albeit barely, and it's probably easier than programming. My brain overflows with ideas faster than I can write them.
