A Dream Job
When most people think about a dream job, they imagine a profession that suits them well and a job they love doing. A job that has good pay, good hours, good benefits and that they feel comfortable doing. It will be a job that they have the qualification to do and to do well in that post. It could be a job that has all of the niceties a person could want and has a great work environment. It could be a position to which they have struggled for years to obtain. Dream positions are sometimes just the imaginings of a person and turn out to be a nightmare instead of something they thought it would be.
A dream job for someone who loves animals might be a veterinarian, a vet tech, or a person who cares for animals at a zoo. They might gravitate to groom or train pets. They might combine the love of the outdoors with their desire to care for and to protect animals and become a game warden. They might love the outdoors and animals and become a cowboy or cowgirl on a ranch or for something a bit more exciting ride horses or bulls in a rodeo. Perhaps the person could join the thoroughbred elite and jockey for the position of riding or caring for race horses. The opportunities are nearly endless.
If the oceans have a certain allure the options range from sailing in the United States Navy to working as a fisherman, a shrimper, or a crabber. There are folks who enjoy repairing boats or building huge sea-going vessels.
There are those who relish the feeling of independence and choose to live in the far reaches of Alaska and Canada. Some dream of living a secluded life on an island whether in the tropics or along barren coasts.
This thought of a dream job started with a dream about being in the middle of a job. I was still working and was getting extremely frustrated because things weren’t going well. The part of the dream I can remember was that I was retiring and that although everything was going all wrong; all I needed to do was to hang in and finish my shift. The dream blurred about whatever was happening but it was chaffing the living daylights out of me, then I woke up. That was a “dream” job but it came awfully close to being a nightmare.
