Nah, too predictable. Everyone says that when they find out you work at a fast food factory. Try for something more inventive. :p
Sorry I'm old school it's what I really like and what I do order.....

1. What is your current job?
Law student.

2. What is your dream job?
Writer of fiction.

3. Why is that your dream job?
I love to wrestle with ideas and find story-telling to be a fascinating form of art.

It is fun too! Playing with concepts and historical personalities like a kitten with a ball of yarn (and getting paid to do it by an expectant audience) would be a great way to live.

4. What's stopping you from obtaining your dream job?
A little thing called personal responsibility. I'll hone my skills story by short story on the weekends while here in law school and when I get out? Well, let's just say I'm thinking of two ways to pay off my loans.

If I am a bad lawyer and a good writer, I'll be happy. If I am a skilled lawyer and a starving artist, I would be happy too.

Bad lawyer and bad writer? Well, at least I can say I did my best to execute the visions God has set before me.

I am a personal care aid.
Dream job is own my own bakery.
Why? Because I love to bake and create using cakes as my blank canvas.
Why don't I do it ? I'm needed at my current job, I don't think I'm organized enough to run a business to be honest and I need a little more skill.
You know Pipp, you will make a great bakery shop owner - you have that perfect voice for a perfect bakery shop (not to mention necessary skill). Let me know when you get your own bakery place because I wanna make sure to try out some of your signature cupcakes (by the way, do I get a discount if I mention I am a member of 'ChristianChat' or the keyword 'Pipp'?)

4. What's stopping you from obtaining your dream job?
1) Nurse
2) ohhhhh now you're really asking for it! Depends how big I wanna dream. I love my current job and would prolly only do it part time while working with youth at church for free. Then if I really wanna dream big, I would also have a dance studio geared towards youth and young adults where we do play dances for outreach ministry. Then, if I really really wanna dream big, a studio for filming and making movies or short films etc.
3) . I love youth and I want to see them knowing and growing in God's love and I want them to know who they really are instead of letting the world define them. And these jobs would just be plain fun!
4) My mom wanted me to be realistic so I became a nurse... Though my tv studio teacher did tell me I could prolly get a job right away in film I decided not to take my chances. No regrets because my job is a huge blessing as well. My lack of dance skills and limited finances also hold me back.

1: Tech support on printers/ scanners / copiers
2: I don't know, I never feel like I find something that suits me, I feel like I fail at everything :(
Either something outdoors or something with writing
3: I hate feeling like I am trapped at work, and I like writing
4: I can't quite figure out how to get a job without 2-10 years of experience (which all employers seem to expect)

Think we all need to adopt this line of thought:

Don't settle for less just because you're not getting what you want right now..#Persevere

1. What is your current job?
Stay-at-home Mom/Nanny

2. What is your dream job?
Small-scale sustainable farmer

3. Why is that your dream job?
Lots of reasons: I would get to play in the dirt, grow what we eat, raise animals of all kinds, breathe fresh air, finally have horses, be my own boss, improve the soil, live an active lifestyle, and have a family business to leave my kid if they should want it.

4. What's stopping you from obtaining your dream job?
Lack of time, money, and skill. But I'm working towards it, slowly, but surely.
Wandering_Here - I love you and I hope beyond hope you get exactly what you dream, but I'm also praying you win the lottery first. By fate, I live on some land and I try to grow my own food, etc., but it's that old joke with me - the one that says I intend to have that turkey for thanksgiving and I fattened him up all summer long and when Thanksgiving Day came, I did have that turkey for dinner. He sat on my right - That'd be me. I can't slaughter anything. I have before. I slaughtered some chickens but I just don't want to do that again. I can't even hunt. It's pathetic. If I were vegan, I'd be all over it, but painfully, I need electricity, a ton of different kinds of food, insurance, money... you name it that just doesn't allow sustainability or even a goodly portion.

I wish I could show you. There's chicken farmers near me and everyone of them will tell you the same thing. They don't farm - they are growers, or mass producers. All of them answer to Co Ops. They can't afford the house or the feed or the hatchery and besides that, the fryers we buy are hybrid - they cross breed under enormous safeguards. No - they get the chicks the Co Op provides and get the feed the Co Op buys for them and keep and feed the chicks and clean the house the Co Op built for 10 weeks and then ships them to process and work 7 hard days a week and get a check from the Co Op listing all the deductions including the chicks dead along the way. The Co Op gets the lion's share, the farmer gets the rest and pays taxes on that and his land making most of the his kind land rich and dirt poor and just guess who gets the subsidy $$'s from the govt? I know I'm ranting but I'm sick of the little guys getting raked. Point is - the sustainable farmer is something of a pipe dream, though I think it's admirable and noble and takes a clean spirit to dream of it. So I hope you win the lottery first.

1. What is your current job? Marketing officer.

2. What is your dream job? Whatever I am doing right now.

4. What's stopping you from obtaining your dream job? Though this is the dream job, I would like to be working for P&G or Unilever or a big firm some day. But I will let God use me the way He wants to.

Kenthomas, I wouldn't mind winning the lottery first :) I live in a agricultural area and know a lot of farmers, both poor and rich. I appreciate the dose of reality, and have considered those same issues. The slaughtering is the biggest part that concerns me, I have yet to kill and gut anything other than fish (although I came *this* close to butchering an aggressive rooster who jumped at my kiddo's face. He didn't belong to me though, so I didn't).
