Personal Dream and nightmare jobs

Post by Tom fod »

A: What are the nightmare jobs that even the thought of makes you want to hide

B: what do you think your dream job is/might look like

C Has anyone here tried or is doing any of these jobs?

So as a starter

A) Hell No way/Not a good idea for me personally: - Waiter or Chef/fast Food service Team member - DoctorNurse/Care professional - digger operator - Lumberjack - Electrician - Sewing Machine operator or other manual repetitive factory/production role - Barber - Computer programmer - Farmer

If only: Gigolo (I need to think of something better/more appropriate but it's late and I'm tired!).
. . Ok then; Tank crewman (now having second thoughts as being blown up/burned alive/crushed does not appeal!).

I had a go in a 360 Excavator once, they need a surprisingly light touch and much better fine motor control/coordination than I have.

Haha, well apparently I am the opposite, because I used to be a Software Developer (as in Computer Programming), but I've been doing a bit of it since I was 15. It's quite creative, and it balances out well with the piano and reading up on random things from Wikipedia. :P I am totally with you on the rest though, although I'd likely be an even more severely bad doctor than anything else.

Definitely not: Olympic archer or Roman Consul, obviously.

Ideal job: Musician or Software Developer again.
