My Dream Job

As promised... my dream job blog...  here's the problem: I don't exactly know what my dream job would be!

I'll just write down things it would include and not include because I really can't honestly say what my exact dream job would be!  I mean honestly I'd love to try anything in the arts/entertainment stuff...

I'd LOVE to be a famous actor for a while on a comedy show on NBC or CBS or Fox or any of those...

Like if I could guest star on ANY sitcom... that would just do it for me right there.

I also wouldn't mind being a famous musician for a while and touring the country or world.

I'd like to work with helping people in some kind of disaster relief thing for a while.  I'm a big fan of helping those in need... so that would be pretty rewarding.

Anything outside would be pretty cool.  I wouldn't mind working as a ranger in some wilderness thing for some time.

I think it would be interesting to do set building on broadway.  That would be way cool... I was a behind the scenes theater major on the technical side of things for a while... but I also love being on stage too!

I'd love to try and get the band photography thing happening and photograph like maybe big events too that would be pretty awesome.

I think maybe it would be cool to sit around by a pool all day and blog for a short while too.

It's funny but of all of those things I just wouldn't want to do any ONE single thing for a long period of time.  It think maybe my dream job might include doing lots of things and switching it up.

Maybe a like short assignments for a week or 2 or 3 then on to the next thing.  Here's the problem...

I also want to have maybe some home based business so that I can actually have enough income to support and raise a family... like have a house... and have a wifeypoo chicka who can also maybe work from home or whatever so that me and her can help equally raise the little kiddos.

So I don't know what would be some kind of combination of all those things but I think that whatever that job might be... I'd be down for that.

Ok I said I'd write some stuff I didn't like... let's see...

I think some tings that I don't really enjoy about work might be stupid things... like:

Dress codes... I like to be free flowin (that sounds like I like to walk around with my zipper down or something... I just mean... wear something comfy!) and be able to express how I like to dress...

I like to have fresh air... I'm not all abouts the being trapped in a windowless room.

I think it would be cool to be at different locations each day for work... sometimes going to the same location day after day gets a little boring or stale...

Same thing with seeing the exact same people over and over and over in the same spots too can get kinda boring... so mixing things up like that can be fun... But not toooooo mix up... so still see some of the same people in some of the same spots just have to keep things rotated and fresh.  Does that make sense?

I don't know, at my work we play chinese fire drill with desks and offices... it seems to work fairly well... but my gosh it's a lot of work moving everything all the time!

Just incase you've never heard of a chinese fire drill...

So that's pretty much most of what I like and don't like.  The thing I think about a dream job is that it's just that... it's a dream... and with most dreams you don't really worry about all the technicalities of it... so everything looks awesome from far away and then when you actually start to do it you realize whoa... this is WAY more involved then I ever thought it would be!  But if the awesome love of it outweighs the technical things that have to be done then it's worth it...

I think for the most part the biggest factor of what I want to do in life is kinda of like... greater good... especially with music and things... if my songs make people feel better then I'm happy that they are enjoying them.  If I were a famous actor and I could bring comedic joy to my viewers then I'd be pretty happy there too!  And then if I could do some kind of volunteer or disaster relief effort thing and improve the quality of life for people then that would be super duper ultimately fulfilling.

But I don't really want a job where all I care about is making tons of money.  To me that's kind of a side effect of working... as long as it pays enough to afford basic things that I need and then maybe some nice little new toys every now and then... cool... but my main thing for working would be doing what just ultimately makes me happy inside and as well what helps greater good for society.

Soooo there ya go!  If you had asked me when I was 4... I would have said... "I want to drive the choo choo train!"  Or so I'm told... I don't remember saying that... but apparently all I wanted to do was be a train conductor... I was all about the trains when I was a little one!
