  1. My Dream job would have to be a travel writer, that way I could visit every place I've ever dreamt about. I would make life one big adventure! I'm unfortunately not living this dream at the moment nor do I have any plan to. The reason being, I have a another dream that supersedes the other. I dream about having a big family one day soon and I'd like to be settled somewhere cozy with them.

  5. I'm not exactly sure what I want my dream job to be. I definitely want to do something that involves writing, because it has been a passion of mine since I was younger. For a while, I wanted to be a journalist, but a lot of newspapers, magazines, and other publications are becoming obsolete, so I'm not sure how realistic a career that would be at this point. However, I am hoping it could still be an option. I'm attending Barnard College in the fall, and ideally, I would apply to the Columbia School of Journalism when I graduate.

  9. My dream job is to work for the government as an undercover detective and go beyong the laws and experience new adventures. The main reason for this is because I love the adrenaline and the action that is involved doing this job. I'm not quiet yet there and I wont be there for atleast another eight to ten years but I'm working hard to have this job soon. And I also want to become a business owner and have my own dealership of costome cars.

  11. My dream job is to be a professional drummer. Ultimately, I would like to get to the point of being a band to travel the world and play concerts. I have been and still am working towards this goal since I've been playing percussion since I was 9 years old. To be playing music and travel to different countries at the same time would be something I'd fantasize of doing.

  17. my dream job is to become a police officer. I have taken a few test here and there. I am working towards my goal but i find that one of the requirement is killing me, college credits! I have never been one for school! Im doing the best I can and hopefully within 6 months to a year I will be a police officer, because working for family is very very stressful!

  19. My dream job is to become the head of Public Relations for The New York Yankees or a large fashion company. I would love to be able to travel between headquarters and events in Paris, London, New York & Los Angeles. I'm currently not in that role but I'm working on getting my degree and I have a few connections within the ideal locations I would like to work in. Ideally I think within the next three to five years I can obtain the goal of at least working and traveling for the brand. It should take another five to seven years to become the head of the public relations field
