I'd like to edit research papers for an academic journal. I've applied to practically every job in the state that has even tangential relations to writing. No one wants to hire my sorry ass, though, not even as a waiter. Instead I'm a funemployed hikikomori.

I hate this economy. I hate it so bad. People just a few years older than me strut around in their business power suits and all because they graduated a few years earlier than me.

This life thing sucks. I want a refund.

I would love to become the director of a company or head of a section in a large company. I love business and how complex it is and I would love to give back something to the world

My ideal world dream one though would probably be a music writer, whilst I have the knowledge to do so, I just don't think I could make enough of a living to support a family. Defiantly when I retire

A couple come to mind:

- Being an SCPCA cop, or from a similar animal protection organisation.
- Being an animal caretaker in a zoo or waterpark, or a trainer of some kind giving shows.
- Being a bartender in a quiet, hidden little jazz club in the big city where only a certain clientèle comes.
- Working at any space program, preferably researching extrasolar planets, at either ESA or NASA.
- Lets throw in astronaut for good measure.

Some others come to mind, but they're a bit vague, so I'll keep it at these.

Owner of a traveling waffle bar. Get a team of caterers and a flatbed truck and just drive around third world or poverty stricken countries offering free waffles. This has been my ultimate goal for years now. Unfortunately, it's kind of hard to find some one to pay me to do this...
Hold on, I'd work for that. Sure, the pay probably wouldn't be great but come on, free waffles!

My dream job would be retired lotto winner.

Since I don't play the lotto I have a lot of work ahead of me.

What my father does. He is a 20 year senior mechanic/instructor for a public transportation company in a major US city. He makes near $40 an hour; he works the midnight shift. At first I thought working nights would suck, but he told me that it's the best thing ever. He has his own office, with satellite TV; and there are very few other employees working in his building at that time.

So basically my father gets paid to watch TV, and tell other 'dumbshits' (as he calls them) what to do.

Either a film score writer, or a ridiculously successful entrepreneur, they're my aspirations.

Either a film critic, or director/actor.

Either one would make me incredibly happy. :)

Owner/manager at a net cafe/comic book/trading card shop. Getting to sit around on the computer while reading comics and playing cards, yeah, I would be happy.

Certified public accountant or CPA where I would be hired by huge companies to do their accounting and assist them with anything financial related.

I'd like to be a pirate. Sail the seas on a wooden schooner, shouting curses and talking to me parrot. Oh, that's not a job? Well, I'd love to be a video game tester, or some sort of reviewer/critic.

I'd prefer to be a Professor of 19th century Austrian History. Or a composer of classical music. Or both?

Actor. I'm doing my very bestest to do that now though. I've been lucky enough to get bit parts in 4 movies so far, but trust me when I say the going for that sort of thing is tough.
