Dream Jobs

Hey friends,

I was passing by some fo the buildings today ang got thinking about the so many shops there: barbers, laundries, grocery shops, tailors, plants, vegetables, cafeterias amidst so many others. I was wondering how happy they would be in their job. I am sure they would be happy in the sense that they are at least holding a job and not one of the many unemployed out there. But sometimes I think they might be wondering of how they would like to be in a better job. The true joy is when I see someone who is truly happy in their job. I see some people who are really unhappy in their jobs, and that's unfortunately they are stuck with.

However, when I was growing up I went through a phase where I had dream jobs in my mind. Here they are:

1. Chef- was told cooking is for women, not men, and if you see, maor chefs around the world are men! Hah!
2. Pilot- was told I need to have perfect eyesight
3. Environmentalist- the usual "what will the people say mansur?"
4. Working in an orphanage- "you will not get paid enough!"
5. Working with deaf children- I spent a month learning how to sign language
6. Dentistry- for which I even studied a year of at college
7. Architecture- this was never something I thought of when I was a kid, but somehow fell into my lap at the right place at the right time

Still sometimes I think I want to do something different.

8. Cabin crew- for the sole purpose of travelling
9. Hospitality and Travel management
10. Employee at a major theme park
11. Taster at a chocolate factory
12. Employee at GAP, for the clothes

However, my ultimate job would be:

13. The employee at a major theme park who gets to test the big thrill rides before the park opens up!!
