I don’t dream of labor
None of the dreams where I’m happy involve me having a job.
I always struggled with this question as a kid. It wasn’t until I was much older I realized it for the capitalist propaganda that it is.
I made the move to my dream job as a UX designer from being a receptionist for a hospital. My work was fun, manager was great, people respected my decisions and input, I learned so much. I loved it so so much, but was laid off by my startup suspiciously timed with SVB going under. It’s been so hard to get another job in this tech economy, but I’m hopeful.

Veterinarian, would love to work with animals. But I would need to go through sooo much school to make it a reality which I am not set up to do at the moment.
A lot of animal lovers dream about being vets until they realize they are the ones to euthanize lost cases.
I realize there are definitely tough aspects of the job but I still imagine I would enjoy it despite the emotional aspects of it.
Just a few of my daydreams whilst getting kicked by The Man:
- Video editing in TV industry
- Owning a cycle/Segway hire place at some beautiful tourist spot
- Buying, improving & selling property
Anthony Bourdain’s job.
Doing my dream job now. I hustled hard in my 20s and 30s with several internet-based businesses that were successful. In my 40s, a bout of depression occurred where I realized I was unfulfilled (money truly isn’t everything). These days, after selling the businesses, I retired for a couple years, blew through my hobbies and interests, became bored out of my mind and set out for a new path.
I’m now in a career that allows me to help people finance the first home (mortgage lender). In the career, I’m meeting a ton of new people each week, clients, referral partners and more. This is what I wanted/needed, to not be a hermit in my home working online, and to start working with others.
The job is challenging but it’s also very fun. At the same time, I wouldn’t recommend it to those that need consistent stable income because interest rates have provided fewer transactions nationwide. In the perfect environment, most struggle to make decent income for a couple years and I’m no exception.
Looking back, it turns out I choose a good path, but in reality, had I just started volunteering in the community, I would have been just as fulfilled.
What? I don’t dream of labour lmao
I would like to be able to do whatever I want whenever I want, and never have to sell my time, focus and body to be able to do so. Or to even just survive…
A job with very low responsibility, and very high salary.
