Childhood-dream jobs have become a reality for some people and for others their dream jobs may remain a dream. This is what Epoch Times reporters from Brazil to Sweden found when they asked locals: “What is your dream job?”

Since I was young, I admired my teachers and said that I would eventually become an English teacher. Today, I have reached what I thought; I studied, got prepared, and I keep preparing myself. I’m doing a postgraduate degree in translation, and I will be able to be a translator. Now my dream job is to become a translator.

It would be a high-ranking official, a key position one. I have my own theory about doing good things for this world, and I think a job like that can be exactly the instrument one can have to help the world a lot.

I had wanted to become a surgeon. It’s something I wanted since I was 10 years ago, but it does not look like it could be that way. We’ll see if it can become a reality in the future.

In my youth, I worked 8 years as a foundry-man, and 35 years in the rolling mill in the department of the delivery [shipment] of goods. If I could choose again, what I’d like to do, I would be either a tailor or a cook. I would cook and bake foods for the wedding parties here in my home region of Kysuce, and I would enjoy doing that. I sometimes had to live in other people’s houses, baking cookies from Monday to Wednesday, and cakes from Thursday to Friday.

The job of my dreams is what I’m doing right now. I am in the constant company of my children and my husband, and being in my home because I love watching them grow and share their growth from conception to crawling, to their first steps and words. The reward is, to have two children who have a very good guide to pursue their dreams and achieve them, and to provide constant support to my husband.

The job of my dreams is to be an actor, because I like television work. I like the audience’s admiration, but more than anything, I like to be recognized. So I would like to be an actor more for the appreciation of my work than fame because I know I would do it well. To develop myself as an individual that would be my dream come true.

I’m interested in cars. I’m studying to be an auto technician, that’s also my dream job. I like working on cars, but mainly [I like] driving them.

My dream job is to cook in a restaurant that I own. I am studying gastronomy, so I would like to buy a house with all the amenities I have dreamed about for my parents—to thank them for their help.

My dream work would be working with animals in their natural environment, taking care of them, and helping to preserve them. But also I would add, teaching people to have love and respect for the animals too.

My dream job would be working and caring for the animals. I believe that the animals are often neglected and forgotten about, after seeing the devastation with the natural disasters that happened locally and internationally. It makes me aware and conscious, maybe, seeing that the animals get neglected, and I don’t think enough people stop to consider what the animals actually go through. After seeing the animals that were affected by the Queensland floods I donated money to the RSPCA.

Note: RSPCA is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
