Dream Job?

As some of you may know, I am about to graduate from a Bachelor of Nursing.  This is pretty freaking awesome and I can't wait to be freed from the shackles of student oppression and be freed into the paid workforce.  People ask me if I have always wanted to be a nurse and if it is my dream job.

Let me start by saying that I didn't realise I wanted to be a nurse until recently.  Looking back it all makes so much sense, but that is the beauty of hindsight.  HOWEVER. Nursing is not my dream job.  Who in their right mind would think: 'Yes. It has everything I could ever want in a job!'  Don't get me wrong. I totally love it.  The satisfaction and happiness I get from the care I give people when they need it most makes my heart sing.  But who in their right mind is totally happy that they have to deal with every gross bodily waste known to man? There are at least 5 jobs I would rather do instead of nursing.

'Why,' I hear you ask 'Don't you pursue those dream jobs?' Because real dream jobs don't actually give you any money and, in reality, they are probably things you would end up paying someone so you could do it.  Here is my list of top five jobs I would do if it were possible. I don't think it will take you very long to realise why no one would pay me a wage to do these...

1. Professional At-Home Sleeper
If someone paid me to sleep I would be a millionaire in no time.  I am the kind of person that can sleep anywhere, anytime.  I have slept through new year's parties (with no alcohol involved.  I once fell asleep halfway up the stairs (some alcohol may have been involved...).  I once had a nap where my torso was on the couch and the bottom half of me on the floor... You get the point.

2. Casual Cake Taster
The reason it says casual is so I can choose my own hours and cut them back when I start to put on the cake inner tube.  Imagine the kinds of cake I could eat... *drools* Piece of cake.

3. Dog and Cat Snuggler
Does your beautiful pooch or sweet kitty need an extra cuddle during the day? I am totally your person.  Also available for rat snuggling.  Grumpy owners and animals with attitude need not hire me.

4. Zombie extra
Do I even need to need to list why this would be awesome?

5. Video Game Tester
As long as I don't have to test kids video games like Dora the Explorer or some rubbish I could do this full time plus.  I would never need to leave the house! Sunlight? I don't need that, I have vitamin D pills.

Any of these jobs would be great.  I could even do them part-time after I finish my nursing shifts. Actually, you don't even need to pay me.
