I'm lucky enough to have mine as well--training horses, and exactly the kind of way I want. I've done it totally freelance with a lot of different clients, owned my own place, etc. and got burned out, but now I work at this lovely little breeding farm where I have just enough work to keep me busy, very nice horses ranging from 2 y/os to be started under saddle to seasoned show horses that I'm just fine-tuning (a life-long process LOL) and campaigning. We show at a national level but the owners are laid-back and don't freak out if something happens and the horses don't win (within reason, of course...I imagine if we never won I wouldn't still be working there, but I'm comparing them to clients who freak out if their 3 y/o spooks in one class and you place third
). I also just love the owners on a personal level, to the point that I spend holidays with them! My only complaint is that the otherwise perfect facility is up in the mountains and has no indoor arena, so every winter I wind up with 2-3 months of very little work.Fortunately I'm also a pretty decent freelance writer, so I just step up that work and do just fine. If my current job ever goes away, I'll probably do that full time and would love it as I really enjoy writing as well. Actually, my dream would be to load up the dogs in my truck and travel around the US, blogging and writing online. I could actually do it, and if not for my job and my boyfriend I would do it in a heartbeat. So all in all, I'm very fortunate when it comes to work. And when I start posting substantially less here in a month or so, you'll know why...back to the grind!

My dream job would be to have enough money fall into my lap to
(1) work part time as a forensic chemist (I actually AM a chemist by training and education but could not afford to work as a bench chemist as the pay stinks) (2) spend the rest of my time as a cadaver dog handler who actually had all the time I needed to train and money to travel

I would live to be a stay at home mom but first I would need a husband and kids. Outside of that I have two options for a dream job; study zoology and work in a zoo (undecided animal) or open a pet supply store that only sells products I approve of and do grooming. The zoology is a dream: I hate school and I don't see myself going back for it when I am in the middle of a complexly different area of study. I need money to open a store, so maybe one day.

Right? Matt's currently beside me on the bed talking about how we should do that.
He's lucky he's kidding lmao.

It took me a while to come up with this but I think my dream job would be in medical research. I would like to be a virologist working with diseases.
