Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.This is a hard question for me because I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up. Like many, I am doing a job I don't love, but that pays me enough to keep me. At this stage of my life, I think I would enjoy doing a simple job in support of the vacation/resort industry. That would keep me around people who are traveling and having fun. This is going to make you laugh, but I love Disneyland and WDW, and I think a fun job for me there (which does not really capture the fantasy nature of your question, but whatevs, LOL!) would be as one of those geezers in the white hats. They are part security, part Park Ambassador, part Walking Information Kiosk. They are always providing directions. I'd be good at that. LOL!
As for fantasy jobs (and these also don't fit your question) I think it would be great fun to operate a pub (where everybody knows your name). Maybe I should buy a Cheers franchise? Or, I wouldn't mind owning/operating a gym/health club. After doing a lot of wine-tasting (cuz that makes me an expert, don'tchaknow) It might also be fun to be a winemaker. I realize that this is a science and would have quite a learning curve (especially for me). Well, there it is.

Amending this. I'd love to work in the film industry. Not sure what I'd do, but being around that would be cool AF. LOL!
ive always wanted to start an animal sanctuary for the less desireable critters. three legged dogs, cats missing an ear, blind horses, featherless birds, and especially emotionally traumatized animals. i want it to be out in the sticks somewhere. and i want to invite kids(especially city kids) to come spend some time there, learning and helping and growing. that sounds about right.

A Musician in Margaritaville. The pic says it all. And don't forget the plane. I used to want to be a Playboy layout photographer, but I kinda like musician now better.

Dream achieved by retiring this past February 3rd.
From Office Space:
Bob: Looks like you’ve been missing quite a bit of work lately.
Peter Gibbons: Well, I wouldn’t say I’ve been MISSING it, Bob.
I can't say I've been missing work either. Work is highly overrated. My retirement funds are meager, so I'm going to say money is overrated too. LOL

No retired. Was a freeze on hiring after my internship and my boss couldn't hire me.
I'm working on my MSW
I'd write comedy. I'm already doing it, but to make it at it would be the dream!

I wouldn't focus on a career. If I were independently wealthy (i.e., enough to live on comfortably for the rest of my life), I'd seek out a variety of volunteer opportunities (more mediation work, start doing literacy tutoring, etc.) and spend the rest of my "productive" time writing, practicing visual art, etc. My more passive time would include reading, Netflix, light chores (e.g., gardening), and leisurely physical activity like walking.

Helicopter pilot. It cost so much to train and get a license. I had to settle for flying gyrocopters.

You could have joined the Army and gone Warrant Officer.....
@SkotlandSkye. I was 18 in Vietnam welding on jet engines 12 hours a day. I was airforce. I didn't have a pilots license until I was around 30. You have to have a fixed wing before you can get a license for a rotary wing.
In Army...you don't have to have fixed wing first - helicopter pilots are WOs. But thank you for your service!
@SkotlandSkye I was to dumb back then to be any good at it. It took me a year before i soloed in a gyrocopter. It's like flying a tricycle with rotor blades. A simple yaw on a land would tumble you. Its a gutsy aircraft. Ive known some guys that died flying these things. I was at a fly In at Bensen Days in Florida. One day 2 guys crashed their aircraft and two guys died the next morning.The flight instructor had a heart attack and they crashed and died. Ugly. Sad.
Stage actor. It is the only time I actually feel like myself, as silly as that sounds, lol.
