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.
