What’s your dream job?

Like actually put money to one side, shouldn’t be a factor here.

I would love to have been a marine biologist or a farmer with a huge chunk of land. Not commercial of any type, but just enough to make it by. Living off the land and making a decent amount of money on the side to afford my stuff, travel, and invest for retirement. Just be comfortable.

I knew I wanted to be an investment banker ever since I got a graded math test in 2nd grade and had a deep desire to fix all the mistakes marked in red by sexy Miss Kim ASAP.

JK. Dream career, probably a scientist or a detective. Someone who solves or works on mysteries either of the intellectual/theoretical variety or the more tangible kind… someone who goes out there and figures out what’s happening… someone who seeks to help humanity understand the world just a little better.  

I try to find bits and pieces of that inspiration in my day job as well. I’ve also at various times wanted to be a pilot and a film writer as a kid. 

 

I would like to just write essays on stuff I find interesting, and travel around admiring the beauty of nature

As a kid I always wanted to be an adventurer and explore new parts of the world and find treasures and world beauty. Unfortunately, I’m a few years late to hop on that trend. The modern equivalent in a weird way is thrifting and searching for value through things that are worthless. Sorta like that show American pickers or something, but not the same.
