    I was thinking about this earlier and I have yet to realize what I aspire to be. I am 20 and only have a few years of college left and I don't know what I plan to do with my life in the long run. Many of you may have already obtained your dream job, but if you could be anything else what would it be and why?

    My dream job is to get paid to sleep. Because it's what I do best. I am 27, it's 8 in the morning, and I'm trying to wake up... and if I didn't have the job I do have (teaching at a college) odds are I would have to be up a lot earlier than that. Surely the world has some use for the talents of a person who can sleep indefinitely and come up with plenty of weird dreams. :)

    (more realistic answer coming if/when I feel like being awake)

    I'd like to have my own dessert shop. I love making desserts, pastries, cakes, etc. and it would be a dream to own a little shop churning out the goods.

    Goto France, learn under some of the best pastry chefs, come back and get started.

    If I won the lottery, I'd:

    Travel the earth for at least a year: most notably and including, but not limited to, Australia, New Zealand, France, Spain, Italy, and the West Coasts of North and South America. I'd visit every winery I could, learn everything I could about winemaking, take soil samples, do Internet research on the various climates at these wineries, beg, borrow, or steal as many cuttings as I could (don't ask me what I'd do with them in the interim), and generally enjoy and educate myself. Then I'd go back to the Pacific Northwest and really do some travelling......looking for the best spot. A spot that hasn't been "discovered" yet, a spot that offers the right mix of growing season, overall climate, soil, scenic beauty, and a spot that makes me "feel it."

    Oh yeah, and I'd have to be able to buy it.

    Then, I'd buy it, and start a winery. Not just any winery, but one that concentrates on the wine, but also offers a bed and breakfast/lodge experience along with fine dining. As many of my friends and family wanted to join me, I'd allow them to and expand operations to include them. Expansions would include botique cattle operations for spectacular beef, a commercial garden, dairy operations and cheese making, and an extensive bakery.

    It would a whole little village built around catering to fine diners.

    That would be my dream job.

    sSnce 7th grade (am now 28) I always wanted to be the urban planner for Monterey California. Its not likely to happen, and the closest I have been is to have played sim city mere days before being in Monterey :)

    My dream job has changed in the last 5 or so years though.

    Now, it is to run my paintball business on the scale that I want to. But then again I might as well include the lottery to afford that dream. Another dream "job" is to own a professional soccer team and act as its manager in some regards.

    Incidently this costs less than the paintball dream, so I am hoping that the paintball dream happens, and then I can get the soccer team also.

    I think its saying that too little or too much sleep is bad for you. It probably has to do with lifestyle.

    If you don't get much sleep, the likelyhood is that you are stressed, overworked..ect., and that's what leads to heart disease.

    If you get too much sleep, that's caused because you have a high chance of being lazy, overweight..ect. thus leading to heart disease.

    I think too little or too much sleep is probably a result of other factors that lead to heart disease not the cause of heart disease itself...in most cases.

    Oh, my dream job is professional chef!

    Now that will cause heart disease...eating all my cooking.
