Hi, I’m a producer at the BBC
and I really enjoy my job.
I’m not sure it’s my dream job
because I’ve always wanted to be in a successful band, but it's pretty good.
Today, I’m going to be talking to people about dream jobs.
What do you do?
I’m a school teacher.
I’m a minister with the Salvation Army.
I’m a stand-up comedian.
I make French horns the musical instrument
and I repair other brass instruments.
I’m an architectural technologist, I design and build houses.
I’ve finished my degree in education
and I’ll be teaching history and maths.
I’m a student.
I’m a student nurse.
What did you dream of doing or being when you were
younger?
I always wanted to be a teacher,
my dad was a teacher, my brother is a teacher.
I wanted to be a footballer,
that’s what I wanted to do.
I wanted to play for Liverpool or Arsenal
and I was quite good but not good enough
When I was a child I dreamt of being a professional Cellist
and performing to whatever audience I could,
within orchestras or on my own
I always wanted to build things and design houses
so now it’s part of my everyday life
and it’s kind of good.
When I was a child most of the time I wanted to teach.
For a while I wanted to be a paediatrician,
so a doctor for children.
I wanted to be a vet then a solicitor.
As a child I used to play a lot of guitar
so I dreamt of becoming, starting a band
and becoming a world famous guitarist.
When I was younger I loved sports
and I had a vision of some kind of career in sports,
professionally perhaps.
Later on I was thinking of business
and the business realm,
and finally I came away with serving people,
that was my dream job
and I get to do that through the Salvation Army.
Would you describe your job as a dream job?
Yeh, it is a dream job, especially when it goes well.
Every day is a different day
and we do different things everyday
so, yeh I would say it’s a dream job really, yeh.
To be working within the music industry for me is a dream
and I’m working with a lot of professional musicians
and I see it as helping me achieve my overall dream, so yes.
I’d say that nursing can be hard work
but I’d say yes it is a dream job,
because you get quite a lot of satisfaction, job satisfaction.
Yes, definitely.
I feel that it allows me to be creative
and I get to do what I always wanted to do.
Are you ambitious?
Yes, I am ambitious,
I like to take control and make things happen for myself,
in this profession I get to do a lot of things like that.
I like to think I am.
I’m living in Paris right now and that was always a dream of mine.
I was once I think, but not so much now.
I’m more ambitious for myself now in developing my own art
rather than developing other people’s art.
I want to get quite high up in my job,
I want to be on good money and live in a nice house.
