My dream occupation would have to be a professional game designer, Web designer and Illustrator. But my favorite would have to be an Illustrator.

I'm already a teacher, so I don't need to dream of that. :p  I don't really have a dream job.  I just went and found something I liked, went through all the schooling and certification exams, and it got me where I am.  I think a lot of people's "dream jobs" are more like "dream hobbies", not something I'd see a reason to pay someone to do that.

I'm studying to become a pharmacist, but it's not really my dream job. I don't have one. Chemistry is interesting and it pays off well. All natural sciences pay off well, because not that many people choose to pursue a career in these fields, like they do in for example law and economics. When I get a job (most likely in a drug store) I will have lots of money to use in pursuing some of my other interests.

That shouldn't be too hard for you.

A park ranger specializing in interpretation (i.e. leading campfire talks, hikes, and wildlife watches).  I've got all the qualifications, and now all I need is for NPS to hire me for good :yes.  There are a few places that have taken an interest in my resume, so while I wait to hear back from them I continue to keep applying for jobs ;).

Internet Marketer.  Technically I currently am one, but I have a lot more to learn.  I can rank websites for lower competition keyphrases pretty easily, but I still need to study design, ad placement, keyword research, and competition analysis in much greater depth than I'm currently doing.  I just started Internet Marketing less than 6 months ago but over time I'll become better and better at things.  I'm running 28 websites concurrently and collecting data based on what I'm doing.  

I have a website ranking on page 1 for "berry smoothie recipe" which gets 1,300 searches per month, and a website on page two for "dog grooming" which gets a hell of a lot more than 1,300 let me tell you!  Then I've got my own computer repair website ranking on the first page of Bing and Yahoo for 13 different keyphrases.  I started Internet Marketing with my computer repair website and I've just went from there.  I hope to someday become a great Internet Marketer.

I did make a pitch to go into Film Production with my undergrad degree but sadly it didn't work out (lack of contacts and opportunities). I haven't completely given up on it, it's all on the backburner, but I would really like to get in on some proper A-list movie making. T'would be awesome! :D

I want to write both comics and novels. I'm doing a webstory which can be read on my Deviantart account and I'm also doing a webcomic. Now I just need to have confidence in getting my stuff published.

Since my imagination is usually off the rocker, I'd like to have a job that would allow me to use it, especially when it comes to creating characters and stories. I guess that would be a screenwriter or something...
It would take a degree in Creative Writing to do.

10 years ago, my dream job was building roller coasters. 8 years ago, my dream job was producing video games. 6 years ago, my dream job was becoming an actor and or singer. Now, I don't really know what my dream job is. At this point, my dream job is something that I will be happy with; one that I may use to help support myself and my family if and when I have one.

I'd say my dream would be to become an animator. I'm best with traditional styles, like cel-animation and stop-motion. Just a shame that traditional 2D animation studios are nearly impossible to find nowadays.

Either that, or a voice-actor.
