well, I actually knew that there were some people doing jobs that doesn`t even look like stressful ones. they are very lucky indeed; I have to admit that some of those 10 jobs didn`t catch me though, but let`s be honest: who wouldn`t prefer to be a Doll Fashion Designer instead of being in an office for 8h!
ReplyDeleteI`d definitely choose to be a video game designer due to the several posibilites you can develop...well, actually I love video games, that would be the main reason
If I had to choose any job for me...I have more than one option, for example being a world wide known architect (which I actually aspire to become. I`m really curious about the S.A.S (it`s the british Special Air Service, if you want to know, please ask or google it), so another example would be to try to become a member of it(also as an experience, to know what is like). As you can see, I have a very wide variety of dreamed jobs, those were only 2 examples...I wish I knew what will I become!
Well, that's actually a difficult question for me, because I really have no idea of what I want to do in my life! It makes me nervous sometimes, not having a clue of my ambitions. But what I know is that I would like my job to be something I love doing, and at the same time is able to give me finnancial support and free time to spend with familiy, friends or doing other things i'm interested in. Basically, a job without stress, isn't that what everyone wants?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I've never been asked that question before. But if I had to say, I think I would not choose something related to maths, because my whole family works with maths and I really want to do something else. I think i would choose to be a writer. I always been fascinated by books, specially mystery and adventure ones.
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose any job in the world, what would it be? This is a difficult question to answer.But I think that it would certainly be a work in which I feel comfortable, that I like and of course in which I'm efficient. What I'm sure is that I would love to work to help people, not only for my own benefit. However like everyone else, I would like to have a good salary.
ReplyDeleteI think we all are studying, with the aim of reaching a good base to college. All these years are a preparation for what is really the most important.
Particularly, I like the side of literature, history, social sciences and communication, so in the future I hope study something related with these matters..
I've done lots of different jobs over the years and I can honestly say I actually have my dream job which is teaching English here in Buenos Aires! The best thing about my job is YOU, the students!
ReplyDeleteYou aren't just stars, you're galaxies!
I don`t like much any of these jobs , if i could choose a job , i think that i would choose to be an investor. if you think about it you can loose money , but if you do it correctly you can win much more without much effort and you also have a lot of free time to do whatever you want.
ReplyDeleteHi everybody,
ReplyDeleteThere were two jobs that caught my eye after reading the article: Video game designer and brew master.
The first one took me to my childhood when I was a big video game`s fan. In my opinion, you need to be very creative in order to make new and amazing video games. Besides, you should have exceptional technical skills as well as a playful spirit. I would have done anything to get this job 15 years ago!!!
By the other hand, being a brew master seems to be a wonderful job. Some of my friends do home brewing…it is an inspiring hobby.
Finally, I decided that I like making things on my own so I prefer to be a brew master at the beginning of his career. Starting up your own business from a product that you really like is definitively a dream job!
When i started reading this article, i could't belive how this jobs can be the most required and so well payed..
ReplyDeleteIf i had to choose one, i think that it would be the "Hollywood Wardrobe Stylist"; because i love all the things related with clothes and fashion!
I see it really amazing and interesting how the differents stylies changes along the years.
Also i can say that this job it is made for me; because you are always in contact with people and never alone, so as i'm a gregarious person it fits!
hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteto be perfectly honest, i didn't like any of those jobs.
as juan pablo said, i've got loads of different 'ideas' of what i might become.
for starters, i'm deeply interested in these aspects: medicine, grammar, literature, english, cinema.
the best job for me would be the one which fulfilled with all the aspects mentioned above, but as i know that's not even close to possible, i'm willing to discard 'medicine' as an option.
as any of you cared... but anyway, that's my story.
see ya
Good question! Some of us know almost from birth, a sense of destiny. Others sort of stumble upon their occupation. Myself, I would like to believe in a´¨purpose¨or ¨calling¨. I´d also like to think that life will all make sense one day, maybe looking back on it!
ReplyDeleteto me,like rocio said is also a difficult question. i'm finishing school next year and i have to decide what am i going to do with my life.
ReplyDeleteI would love to travel all around the world and experiment with different cultures, but i think there is no job with that activities so i'm planing to study lots of languages and be a translator..
but that's just one of my options..i'm not really sure
If I had to choose one from all the jobs in that top ten list, I would choose to create Video-games. I know that the gaming industry generates a lot of money annually.
ReplyDeleteBut i'm looking forward to studying electronic engineering. First of all, I would start working on a company but then I would like to create my own company, starting as a little company and then make it grow.
I don't really like much any of this jobs but if I had to choose, I would choose concert promoter because is the one which is nearer to what I would like to do for living.
ReplyDeleteTwo things I would absolutely love to do in my life are, travel all around the world and live for music. So, my dream job is to be a musician and travel around the world doing concerts.
If I had to choose, i would definitely choose "Ice cram creator". Every week I´m used to spend lots of time trying to prepare new sweet reciepes, like cupcakes, srawberry cake, chocolate cakes, and any other argentinian deserts, for example, flan or chocotorta. So, I think I´d probably be very interested in making new ice cream flavors!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I´d also think about the "toy designer" job, because is also known as industrial designing, the carrer I´m actually going to take.
To my mind, if I had to choose one of the jobs from that list, I would choose video game designer, as I'm keen on playing video games.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, when I grow up, I would like to work abroad as a civil engeneer.
I think this jobs are absolutely wired and a few people decides to go for them, however I liked so much the video game designer job. That's why I'm studying a career quite similar to that and I think it's really interesting and full of new opportunities.
ReplyDeleteIf i had to choose one of those jobs, i would go for "Concert Promoter". It cought my atention because it's more related to an artistic and creative part, which is the one i like the most. Also i considered it benefits like going to your favourite band concert...
ReplyDeleteTo the title question, i would answer that i don't have idea because i don't even know what i want to do in the future.
