00:00:13.094 --> 00:00:17.017
Hi, I’m a producer at the BBC

00:00:17.017 --> 00:00:19.006
and I really enjoy my job.

00:00:19.006 --> 00:00:20.596

I’m not sure it’s my dream job

00:00:20.596 --> 00:00:25.080

because I’ve always wanted to be in a successful band, but it's pretty good.

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:28.428

Today, I’m going to be talking to people about dream jobs.

00:00:28.428 --> 00:00:30.511

What do you do?

00:00:30.511 --> 00:00:32.244

I’m a school teacher.

00:00:32.244 --> 00:00:36.493

I’m a minister with the Salvation Army.

00:00:36.493 --> 00:00:38.206

I’m a stand-up comedian.

00:00:38.206 --> 00:00:40.609

I make French horns the musical instrument

00:00:40.609 --> 00:00:43.442

and I repair other brass instruments.

00:00:43.442 --> 00:00:46.893

I’m an architectural technologist, I design and build houses.

00:00:46.893 --> 00:00:50.761

I’ve finished my degree in education

00:00:50.761 --> 00:00:53.572

and I’ll be teaching history and maths.

00:00:53.572 --> 00:00:55.177

I’m a student.

00:00:55.177 --> 00:00:57.803

I’m a student nurse.

00:00:58.895 --> 00:01:03.363

What did you dream of doing or being when you were 
younger?

00:01:03.363 --> 00:01:04.741

I always wanted to be a teacher,

00:01:04.741 --> 00:01:07.811

my dad was a teacher, my brother is a teacher.

00:01:07.811 --> 00:01:09.252

I wanted to be a footballer,

00:01:09.252 --> 00:01:11.376

that’s what I wanted to do.

00:01:11.376 --> 00:01:14.013

I wanted to play for Liverpool or Arsenal

00:01:14.013 --> 00:01:17.527

and I was quite good but not good enough

00:01:17.527 --> 00:01:21.706

When I was a child I dreamt of being a professional Cellist

00:01:21.706 --> 00:01:25.791

and performing to whatever audience I could,

00:01:25.791 --> 00:01:29.238

within orchestras or on my own

00:01:29.238 --> 00:01:32.289

I always wanted to build things and design houses

00:01:32.289 --> 00:01:34.746

so now it’s part of my everyday life

00:01:34.746 --> 00:01:35.977

and it’s kind of good.

00:01:35.977 --> 00:01:39.273

When I was a child most of the time I wanted to teach.

00:01:39.273 --> 00:01:42.014

For a while I wanted to be a paediatrician,

00:01:42.014 --> 00:01:44.264

so a doctor for children.

00:01:44.264 --> 00:01:47.248

I wanted to be a vet then a solicitor.

00:01:47.248 --> 00:01:49.680

As a child I used to play a lot of guitar

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:55.027

so I dreamt of becoming, starting a band

00:01:55.027 --> 00:01:57.296

and becoming a world famous guitarist.

00:01:57.296 --> 00:01:59.182

When I was younger I loved sports

00:01:59.182 --> 00:02:01.566

and I had a vision of some kind of career in sports,

00:02:01.566 --> 00:02:02.962

professionally perhaps.

00:02:02.962 --> 00:02:05.163

Later on I was thinking of business

00:02:05.163 --> 00:02:06.464

and the business realm,

00:02:06.464 --> 00:02:09.850

and finally I came away with serving people,

00:02:09.850 --> 00:02:11.247

that was my dream job

00:02:11.247 --> 00:02:13.332

and I get to do that through the Salvation Army.

00:02:15.117 --> 00:02:18.680

Would you describe your job as a dream job?

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.330

Yeh, it is a dream job, especially when it goes well.

00:02:22.330 --> 00:02:23.965

Every day is a different day

00:02:23.965 --> 00:02:26.017

and we do different things everyday

00:02:26.017 --> 00:02:28.964

so, yeh I would say it’s a dream job really, yeh.

00:02:28.964 --> 00:02:33.231

To be working within the music industry for me is a dream

00:02:33.231 --> 00:02:36.146

and I’m working with a lot of professional musicians

00:02:36.146 --> 00:02:40.815

and I see it as helping me achieve my overall dream, so yes.

00:02:40.815 --> 00:02:43.047

I’d say that nursing can be hard work

00:02:43.047 --> 00:02:45.964

but I’d say yes it is a dream job,

00:02:45.964 --> 00:02:49.295

because you get quite a lot of satisfaction, job satisfaction.

00:02:49.295 --> 00:02:50.914

Yes, definitely.

00:02:50.914 --> 00:02:53.732

I feel that it allows me to be creative

00:02:53.732 --> 00:02:56.264

and I get to do what I always wanted to do.

00:02:58.987 --> 00:03:00.849

Are you ambitious?

00:03:00.849 --> 00:03:02.000

Yes, I am ambitious,

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.099

I like to take control and make things happen for myself,

00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:07.932

in this profession I get to do a lot of things like that.

00:03:07.932 --> 00:03:09.532

I like to think I am.

00:03:09.532 --> 00:03:15.343

I’m living in Paris right now and that was always a dream of mine.

00:03:15.343 --> 00:03:20.049

I was once I think, but not so much now.

00:03:20.049 --> 00:03:24.283

I’m more ambitious for myself now in developing my own art

00:03:24.283 --> 00:03:26.881

rather than developing other people’s art.

00:03:26.881 --> 00:03:29.016

I want to get quite high up in my job,

00:03:29.016 --> 00:03:34.148

I want to be on good money and live in a nice house.
