If I had a choice, I'd probably either do beauty therapy and have my own little saloon by the beach

The ideal job is having no job at all. Unfortunately, whenever it's a "job," then it ceases to be "ideal." I used to love to sew, especially with my dear mother-in-law. I did the machine work, she did the hand work. We worked well together and loved it. People at the office noticed my clothes and asked if I would sew for them. Okay, great, mom and I had a business. We sewed for people. Very soon it ceased being enjoyable. It became a chore. I gave it up and haven't gone back to it since.
Since then I took up stained glass. Took lots of classes and got pretty good at it. When we moved to the float home in Canada, and had my work hanging in all our windows, everyone up there wanted to commission me to do pieces for them. Fortunately, the government up there prohibited us from making money in Canada, so I was able to politely decline. I don't want to give up my stained glass as I did my sewing.
An "ideal job" is a non-sequitur.

Wow Bev, it sounds like you are really artistic. That's not me at all.

My ideal job would be to be a tenured professor of theatre history/playwriting/directing who directs one show a year at a small liberal arts school (2000-5000 students) in a warm city. How's that for specific!

I LOVE kids. Teaching, babysitting, daycare center, I love them all. Unfortunately you also have to deal with their abusive, neglecting, disinterested parents and that breaks my heart. You can only do so much when that is what they have to go home to. Obviously not all parents are like that, but the minority who are keep me away from doing those jobs.

Yeah, now all I have to do is finish this degree, find such a school with an opening and convince them, out of all the other applicants, that they should hire me.

How about being a tester for Aveda? You get to try out all the products for free and give your opinion. That would be nice eh?

Actually, I have a friend better suited for that. No one knows better than her the various worths of beauty products. She's addicted. But I'd want her extras.

I bet the right job will come along. I'm convinced that when you don't get accepted for a job, there was a reason; like something even better is on the horizon.
