"What Is Your Dream Job?" or "Why Is It Still Called European Vacation?"

What's in Europe, anyway?

France = Wine
Russia = Vodka
UK = Scotch
Germany = Schnapps

My point is that the General Topic title has been weird since before I left.

But, I was looking through old threads and I was reminded of that one time I tried to join the military 'cause my life was turning to plotz. (It's a Yiddish term, you non-Europeans wouldn't understand.) Because I'm a pasty face white, privileged, wannbe poet, I wanted to go into the Priesthood. My uncle was a priest and me aunt was a nun. It seemed apropos. (A French term.) Then I thought that because I lacked discipline, or any sort of motivation, I should join the army! (Also, because my life was falling apart, and in tragedies they tend to join the French Foreign Legion.) Now, I think, (keep in mind, it's been years that I've thought of signing on to anything that's not medical) I want to be a writer. I've heard that I've got to sleep on a lot of couches, 'afore I can be recognized as a "proper writer."

I was wondering what you guys really want or wanted to be; fantastic or otherwise. But nothing European, because apparently tjey're into vodka, which is the poles. What is your favoured job, dream or otherwise?

(And fifth, I'm too drunk to reference the specific job post, but I know you what when had pretty girls in with southern accents all up ins, so what's up with that?endparenthesis

In my youth I wanted to be a lawyer. Everything is corrupt as fuck down here and I wanted to do something about it. Then I decided I wanted to work in politics, and try to change the rules so that we would be less corrupt.

Now I just want to be an international transient.

As a kid I wanted to be a pilot. Now I don't really have a dream job.

Bells · 11-17-2012, 10:46 AM

i still really do want to come one day where i can pay my bills just with my writing...

at one point i really, really wanted to be a historian, but i learned that where i live there was no money in that, so i was looking into Psychology but learned that what i really wanted was Psychiatry, but not enough to go through medical school...

I still want to write my books and make them good enough and big enough for an international release though, that's the dream!

I wanted to be an inventor. I wanted to create useful things, to make the lives of people easier but mostly to build really convoluted machinery for simple tasks. Instead I'm a mediocre musician who works in customer service.

I literally never wanted to be anything. I wanted to do science when I was eight, then when I got older I wanted to make comics, then have a lot of money, then live without being dependent on money, and now I have come to terms with the fact that all I want to do is write. Well, that and raise a family but I guess we're focused on jobs. Still, I don't want to be anything.

I've always wanted to enter politics, either as a politician or working directly for one. I don't have any grand reasons for this, I've just always wanted to.

Melfice · 11-17-2012, 11:39 AM

I've had a few dream jobs.
And my latest and most persistent is becoming a train conductor.

I LIKE TRAINS!

Also, becoming a superhero, but a conductor is more reasonable.
