I want to be a medical doctor, but I fail miserably at math.
So...since I work in the psych field, I guess I'd say my dream job is to be an LPC....
What's an LPC?
Wannabe CPN : -)

I really want to be pharmacist! Awkwardly I decided this after a BSc and PGCE, so would be quite tricky for me to go back now and do the MPharm :(
If it's what you really really want to do then do it anyway?
I'm applying to go back to uni to do mental health nursing, so I guess that's my dream job, which is compleeetely unrelated to my first degree. It is a bit frustrating to feel like I'm starting over but then again, life is too short to not do what I want to do!
Though my other dream job would be to have my own little community cafe and spend my life baking :D

Stay alive, feed yourself well, wear comfortable clothes, and don't give up on yourself just yet.
It'll get better. Until then, have a day."
I already have my dream job working in a children's home - not a career path I'd even considered until I got into it by accident but I absolutely love it now :)
Jelly Fairy - I'm so glad you've found your dream job!
I want to be a specialist play therapist and have always imagined that this role would be in somewhere like Great Ormond Street although now I imagine would be at the Manchester Children's Hospital. Just seems like the perfect job for me and one I am working towards.
I love my job already, but if I could have any second one, I'd love to look after poorly hedgehogs, or be a a hug therapist. I think hedgehog-looker-afterer doesn't exist and I think opportunities are limited for hug therapist, so I might become an Allied Health Professional (likely Dietitian) instead.

Tig, I know someone who does that job at the children's hospital! Health and social care is a small world, and I work in adult services!

The only thing I haven't done that I wanted to was lecturing but I don't know if I could handle a PhD. Wish I could go back to cheffing, I miss the pastry and finer elements of it :( At least I have my writing but it's a tough market and hard to win competitions, especially in Ireland and I've made no money from it.
It became like a sort of prison. Encased in a silver shell, words so full of bleeding need spilled like drops on dry leaves. And all the while laughter prevailed a long way from here. Nowhere land, nowhere time, nowhere space.
I think my dream job would be to be an aquarist at a public aquarium. Though I imagine it's quite a stressful job, and the positions are highly sought-after, so I probably wouldn't be able to do it in reality.
I'd also love to work at an animal shelter. I think that one's slightly more attainable.
