      The question wasn’t what’s your dream life, it was what is your dream job. Are you saying jobs are equal in your preferences?

    Veterinarian, would love to work with animals. But I would need to go through sooo much school to make it a reality which I am not set up to do at the moment.

      A lot of animal lovers dream about being vets until they realize they are the ones to euthanize lost cases.

        I realize there are definitely tough aspects of the job but I still imagine I would enjoy it despite the emotional aspects of it.

    I always struggled with this question as a kid. It wasn’t until I was much older I realized it for the capitalist propaganda that it is.

    I made the move to my dream job as a UX designer from being a receptionist for a hospital. My work was fun, manager was great, people respected my decisions and input, I learned so much. I loved it so so much, but was laid off by my startup suspiciously timed with SVB going under. It’s been so hard to get another job in this tech economy, but I’m hopeful.

    If it has to be a job instead of being free while still having money…

    • 100% remote so I can live wherever I want.
    • 50k/year (€ or $, whatever).
    • Not waking up early.
    • IT job doing cool creative and challeging stuff with Powershell, Python and similar.
    • No dealing with users, meetings or burocratic bullshit.

    What? I don’t dream of labour lmao

    I would like to be able to do whatever I want whenever I want, and never have to sell my time, focus and body to be able to do so. Or to even just survive…
