I'd be more afraid of being a cop! I have no idea how old you are but go for it. They always need police officers.

I have my dream job. I'm a television producer. It's all I've wanted to do since I was about 12 years old. But, now I have a couple of dream projects, so I still have something to shoot for!

A writer and a musician. I've worked as a writer for a long time and lately have been triying my hand at freelancing (hard but fun). Still working towards that, but am now working in admin (ughhh). But I've passed the first round of interviews for one writing position and am waiting for them to schedule round two, so prayerfully I'll get it and I'll be back writing again (oh yeah!!!)

Editor for something like IBM Redbooks. They pull together multinational teams for an intense six weeks or so, to create instant books on highly technical subjects.

I'd have to say novelist, publisher, or musician.

If I could be a musician and a novelist that would be the best ever.

Very good question. I am still trying to figure it out. But, some ideas that have crossed by mind:

1. Biblical scholar - The Bible is fascinating. The study of God is amazing.

2. Journalist - It is time for this profession to have an infusion of people who understand about putting the facts out there before injecting their own bias opinion. Sadly, as you know, the current members of the media, generally speaking, have forsaken their commitment to what journalism is all about.

3. Member of Congress - it is time for a shift. A return to common sense, national pride, intelligence, integrity, and a turn toward changing the landscape of our country for the better.

4. School teacher - the importance of shaping young minds is incalculable.

5. Concert pianist - too late for me, and not enough talent, but, a nice dream.

6. Radio and/or tv talk show host. Instead of looking at all the symptoms of our sick society, let us focus on remedies, and the only True answer...

7. Author - I love words. To write a book, fiction or non-fiction which encourages others would be fabulous.

8. Philanthropist - If I were rich, to change people's lives by giving away money, how fun that would be...and rewarding...

That is about it. The only question is, how do I move from my current job which is a complete dead-end, toward something better which will help to not only provide better for my family, but, provide my mind with the stimulation it needs to grow. I am grateful for my job in this economy, but, my mind is shrinking...

Thanks...

Imaginative literature creates a direct mind-to-mind connection between writer and reader. C. S. Lewis once recommended the arts as the most appropriate means for Christians to influence the general culture. It is as we celebrate life that the merchants of death are revealed in all their shabbiness. Writing novels, screenplays, etc. may well be one of the most profoundly pro-life things we can do.

This article on the role of science fiction deplores the way a defective theology has led us to abandon the genre to other faiths. To our shame we must admit that the most effective voice raised in honor of the Lord Jesus Christ belongs to a Mormon, Orson Scott Card.

Having done many different things that qualify as 'dream careers", the one constant is that every 'job' has rewards and every 'job' has elements that get old after a while.

In thinking about this topic, it dawned on me that I preferred to think in terms of opportunities rather than a 'dream career'. For, if we are always ready to serious consider an opportunity when it comes along, then we can find that a full rich work life might cross many different career paths over a lifetime... with each new path being a offered by that that went before.

Seeing one's vocational life as a series of opportunities, rather than a series of jobs or a 'career' also helps when one's dream career disappears. In my lifetime I have seen careers like Linotype operator completely disappear and others, like computer operator, that paid very well in the 1960s becomes less valuable. Those focused on those 'careers' were crushed. Those who could see that the loss of that profession was due to displacement by other technologies offering new opportunities kept right on going and growing.

At 65, I am still confident that new opportunties will come my way. But, as I look back over all the wonderful vocational opportunities that have come my way, I have to say that being a junior high science teacher was the most personally rewarding from an inner point of view. I've videotaped world leaders and the great National Parks, I've sat on the floor and played video games with the CEOs of the world's largest toy companies, created computer software for the mass market and designed software for companies like Mobil Oil and international organizations. But, NOTHING matches the memories and great feelings that I have from the few years I had as a teacher. I STILL feel that was one of the most important things I ever did with my life.

My DREAM job would be to own a sports franchise. An NBA team would be my favorite and baseball my least favorite.

Concerto ... after working in this field 15 years or more, I can honestly say that I and EVERYONE I have worked with understand the need to be fair and objective. However, people often see what they want to say.

But I cannot let that go without giving the following piece of advice:

Daddies don’t let your babies grow up to be reporters
Don’t let ‘em do readin’ and writin’ too much
Make ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such
Daddies don’t let your babies grow up to be reporters
‘Cuz they’ll never be home and they’ll always be broke
Even if they have a job
