  1. My dream job is to become a pediatrician. No I am not a pediatrician now, but I am working towards it. For me to become a pediatrician, it will take me approx. 7-8years.

  2. My dream job is to become a police detective.I have five years experience in the field of homeland security. I have already completed all my minimum requirements for joining the force, so hopefully it will be another year or so.

  3. My dream job is to become a nurse anesthetist. I am currently working towards that goal but with God's willing and strong perseverance I hope to achieve that goal in another 6-7 years.

  4. My dream job would be a worldwide 5 star hotel critic. I would have to "investigate" the various spa packages they offer. I would also have to bask in the sun and experience beach life in the various countries. I would have to sample each country's finest food and wine. It would be a tough job but I think I'd manage! I can't say I'm working towards that dream right now but it's definitely nice to think about!

  5. My dream job, well currently i'm a computer technician. I'm going to school to be a nurse. Hopefully within 10 years i'm hoping to get the credentials i need and be able to combine to two fields. Until then, i think i would really enjoy being a nurse because i really like to help people in need and blood and gore doesn't bother me in the least. But honestly, my dream job would be to simply win the lottery and live my life with the utmost comforts for me and my daughters. lol, i guess in order to achieve that one i should probably start playing the lotto.

  6. My dream job is to become a teacher. I have always wanted to become a teacher and i am working towards that goal right now in my life. It should take me a couple more years to finish my bachelors. But, I sometimes would like to try forensic science. I always love the C.S.I. shows and would love to figure out how someone died, or figure out who did it. But, then again, i love how teachers have summers off and never have to work a holiday.

    I have already accomplished my dream job which is becoming an OB/GYN. I practiced for more than twelve years in my country, Haiti, which was recently devastated by an earthquake. Now, I am trying to become a physician assistant in New York to join the work force. NY is a very stressful state, and learning a new language remains a real challenge for me.

    I am already a nurse so I guess I can say I am living my dream job now. However I am still working on furthering my career. I have approximately 5-6 more years before I will complete all schooling necessary to specialize in maternity. Then for a few years before retiring, become a nurse educator to prepare others for the world of nursing.

  9. My dream job is to become a dentist. I am currently working towards it. It will be a long, arduous road but I will eventually get there. I believe it will take me at least 6 years before I can become a dentist. I have a lot to learn.

  10. I once held a dream job. How many people could actually say, "i could walk into work with a smile on my face?" i was the many few who did. but sadly, because of the "economic crisis" i lost that dream job and dont think im ever getting back. But this does gives me the opportunity to work for a better one. Anything that involves in helping those who are in need, would consider to be a dream job to me. I was born to care for others besides for myself.

  11. In order for me to have a dream, I have to be completely happy with something I enjoy doing, the people I'm surrounded with, and the financial outcome of the job. Honestly, right now I can only dream of doing what I want to do in life but striving for something else that seems tangible for me in my upcoming future.

  12. Well I would prefer not to work at all. I really have no dream Job. I just would like something with a light work schedule, like a nurse, or even a teacher, with summers off, holidays, etc. Maybe down the line I will have the credentials for something like that, But Until then I am gonna be doing what I am doing, working and going to school part time, and should hopefully be a cop or fireman within the next few months.

  14. My dream job is to be a professional singer and actress. I'm not living the dream just yet but I am working towards it. I major in performing arts in school to help prepare me for the career a head of me. However i will be studying science when i graduate and then maybe med school or a science teacher. I'm not sure yet. The only thing i am sure of is is music, and to live that dream would be amazing.

  16. My dream job is that... a dream. I am currently working in a full time job that at the end of each shift, I die a little more inside. Someday I want to do a job that I love (like everyone), I am hard working and will put in the hours and effort it takes to make it, I just have no idea what it is yet, and unfortunately the job i have now leaves little time to figure that out.

  17. I actually have a good job that pays good and is very easy. I really don't do much. I work as a doorman. But i still have a dream job. My dream job will have to be working for a very important company at a big building down in the city. I want to have my own office, and work banking hours only.
