America’s Top Dream Jobs

What Is Your Dream Job?

August 24, 2010

Travie McCoy may want to be a billionaire, but it seems most people just want to be actors. Almost a third of the people polled by Marist want to make a name for themselves in Hollywood as actors or actresses, says New York Daily News. Being a professional athlete is the next dream job on the list.

Surprisingly, about 13 percent of the participants want to be the president of the United States. Judging by the state of the economy, I imagine it must be one of the most stressful jobs around! What about you — what is your ultimate dream job?

i desperately want to be an actress and although it will be tough and i might not ever make it you only live once and thats all i want to do. You only live once but if you do it right once is enough. good luck to all of you with dreams out there and i hope they come true

A writer. I love to write but I'm too scared I wouldn't be able to make a living

Job of my "dreams"? Ahh to find out I had a rich relative I never even knew I had passed away and left me all of their money....LOL I'd love to be a stay-at-home mom. And hopefully someday soon I can finally find out why I can't get pregnant!

I'm in school studying software engineering, and I can't imagine doing anything else.

I wanna be my own boss and have a business as a fashion stylist. Not for famous people, but to help regular women like me show outside how beautiful they are inside.

I'd like to be a writer (YA fiction and chick lit), but other dream jobs are artist, illustrator and decorator... party planning might be fun too!

I've always wanted to become a veterinary since kindergarten. But the thing that's in my mind right now is to become as a person like my doctor as a person. He's very well known in his job, everybody respect him, he save life every single weeks, he's very passionate in his job. He is such a inspiration for me. He's personality, he's knowledge, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MAN!

Fantasy dream job- I would love to be a singer/guitarist in a band, but I can not sing and would hate the attention, so that will never happen. My actual dream job that I am currently working towards is owning/running a doggie daycare and dog boutique.

I've always wanted to be a lawyer, which is what I'm in school for. Maybe being a legal correspondent for a news network after a few years? I'm still thinking about the logistics! A different job that has always appealed to me is being a soap opera star. I was raised watching General Hospital, so maybe that's why!

I would wanto have Paris Hilton's job whithout the slutiness ;) Wait, what ecactly does she do? I am studying to be a teacher and that's really what I want to do, just get paid better and maybe work only half the year ;) That would be awesome. I don't think people actually want to be actors, they just want to be rich without doing much work...And I can see that proffessional atheletes work hard, but the money they make is insane! I know a lot of people who work harder than that, and they just get by...

I'm currently an Accounting student and I have the passion for it. However, I have this artistic itch as well. I would also love to be an interior designer or something related to decorating. Even a florist!
