i would like to be a comedian an entertainer because what could be better than making people laugh for a living.
Getting money for no reason at all, so I wouldn't have to worry about money and I'd be able to do whatever I want with zero obligations.
I'd probably travel around the world, never stay in one place for too long, though I'd probably keep a permanent apartment in a major metropolitan area in Central Europe (possibly Paris or Berlin). I'd also take loads and loads of photographs (which is something I do now, but then I'd have more time for it and I'd be in more interesting locales).
Basically, I just want to live an interesting life but without any real obligations that come with a job.
I'm well-aware that this is considered juvenile by the majority, but that's what I dream of.

Musician in a rock band.
Headline ALL the festivals!
Preferably with a fanbase more like Enter Shikari's than, say, Muse's.
ES Fans, while there are distinctly fewer of them than most other bands on their 3rd album, all know nearly every song and sing along and get involved with all of them.
With big bands like Muse, everyone knows the hits, sure, but the older songs or even the newer ones that aren't singles are often left underrated.
I'd rather play to 4,000 people who rock out to even the B-sides, than 40,000 who don't know anything that wasn't a single.

Lead Developer and Owner of a Studio. I would be able to make games, movies, graphic noves, books, tv series, etc with a team of experienced people. I have a lot of ideas, but not yet a medium to get them out with.... So yeah, that is my dream job. Maybe even an engineering department that would create robots and try out new technology.
One of those researches/surgeons that poke around peoples head to see what happens or CEO of a gaming company. Seeing my minions bumping into each other because of an impossible deadline would be my only reason to go to work everyday
Fighter Pilot, the great part is that I actually have a damn good chance of attaining it. Im already in pilot training, so it will be a lot easier when I actually enter the military after college.
Well for the last three or four years I've wanted to join the Canadian Forces, but so far I'm having really bad luck with it. I've submitted multiple applications, gotten as far as my medical tests and background checks each time. Then had to hear something along the lines of; "We're sorry but there are no open positions right now." each time.
Starting to debate whether or not this means I'm being turned down, and the "no open positions" thing is a lie. So far I've been taking the fact that my medical and background both come back fine as a good sign.

I've always thought I'd missed my calling by not enrolling in Journalism in college, mostly because I was afraid of things like interviews and having to maintain sources and all that crap. If I could roll back the last ten years, though, I probably would give my past self a nice, big prod.
I'd still like to become a games journalist, or at least someone who makes a living out of writing or correcting things that doesn't necessarily involve being a professional novelist. If I could really, really dream? I'd set myself up as the CEO of a message board service catered especially to people who run roleplays or to organizers and participants of boffer roleplays who'd need some space to either organize their stuff or chronicle their heroic deeds. It's just too bad I don't know the first thing about database programming and upkeep, and that the very thought of using PHPBB gives me the willies.
Realistically, though; I'm more than likely to remain a copy editor or to move on to become a college-level teacher.

I wanna be a professional illustrator. not very glamorous or anything like that I know, but that would be all I needed. Then i could go to cons and give panels and autographs and interviews and special perverted posters for those that came to see little ol' me.
Thing is, I don't think my art style is where it should or needs to be [http://sageruffin.deviantart.com/]. Either that or I'm being waaaaaay too hard on myself. Either way, I don't see that happening for a quite a number of years.

Astronaut. Simple as. Failing that, Formula 1 driver, failing that, Ski Instructor. Though I might end up being a Ski Instructor for the rest of my life.
I really don't have much of a ambition job wise just anything really to get me off the soul sucking dole 
I hate going to the job centre. Dream job though, working in a game shop in the town centre where I live..not so much to ask arghhhhhhhhh

Realistically, I would love to have my own lab fully equip with an assortment of biotech equipment, a couple of grad students under me and never ending funding.
EDIT: Also I want the ethics board to disappear.

Well, children, I'm getting underway with my nine year plan:
Two years for my A levels, gap year, three years at university (not sure what I'll do there, possibly something with journalism) four years in the Royal Marine Commandos, then move to America, try to break into internet journalism for a site like this one. Hell, maybe I'll even apply here at the Escapist if it's still around in nine years. Once I've gotten my journalism started for some income, I'll try and become an author, as I have some nice book ideas.

My dream job would be a successful author of novels, short stories, and poetry, making enough money from it that I can just sit in my house or go out and do whatever I want. Something that takes as little physical activity as possible. On the non-dream job, I'm the kind of guy that would be comfortable just sitting in a small dank office all alone in a basement, just typing out whatever was asked of me. In a way that would also be a dream job, because that would mean minimal contact with people or random customers or something.
Other than that, being a game reviewer would also be a dream job for me.
