My dream job is to one day work for myself and earn a good amount of income doing what i like which is art and music and for my incone to support a future family. I know its pretty cliche to say but i would like to work for myself and not have someone manage my everyday tasks and money. I believe in being an independent worker. As i promised, what is your dream job or job lifestyle? Open your mind and post freely!

Probably R&D where I do all the fun stuff by inventing things but not the boring stuff of making it reliable. That and write, but I couldnt write full time. The thing about hobbies is that they're not jobs. Put pressure on them and they become less fun.

In medical school right now, situated in Auckland but for obvious reasons I'm regretting not taking biomed at Vic. Just hope my work ethic isn't as shark this year as it has been recently, Nix aren't helping my confidence :)

But seriously my dream job would be like being a mountain guide or someone who travels the world going to remote places on adventures. That would be awesome.

There are some referees that are like toasters the way the cards pop up out of their pockets.

I would have liked to have been a football player when I was 18-19. I love flying but at my age I shall have to ponder on what might have been.

Mine is very specific but here we go...

I'd like to own an independent craft brewery of significant size and then host clients and friends in corporate tents at cricket matches around the world. Too much to ask?

That was the dream for me too. Offered a trial at Brighton back in 2012 but stupid young me didn't realise how much that meant so I declined it. No surprise that I'm terrible now

Ah Geraldine. Such a cool wee town is Geraldine; I like it.

Going that way this weekend actually, well sort of: going to Mesopotamia and then hiking into the mountains for about 8 hours to climb a peak called The Thumbs (2546m high). Sleeping under the stars too.
