What was, or is, your dream career?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 15, 2008:

My dream job was always to be a doctor, a lawyer or a teacher. Those were my realistic dreams. Then I started to dream big. These were the less realistic dreams but still achievable with hard work. I wanted one of two things and I guess deep down inside I still do. I want to be a rock star. I use rock star very loosely. I mean I could have been in a rock band, or have been in a boy band or have been a 'pop' star or a salsa singer. It didn't really matter. I wanted to sing/play music for people. Let them feel new emotions and see new things. Be beyond this world for about four minutes. The second dream job was to be a filmmaker and writer. Yes, write books, stories and poetry and make them into screenplays and then films. Or I could've have started my career with one and ended it with the other. Then I went to college. I'm going to a state school and I have options to take English classes and film classes, or music classes, but I only seriously looked at medicine and education. Not children but college. I still could slip writing in there especially if I taught English. It looks like I'm heading down the medical road. Where will I end up? Is this my dream? I don't know. I could change it all singing one song, writing one story, starring in one play. My dream job is whatever will make me most happy. When I find it I'll know.
