What’s your dream job?

While I, first and foremost, think the idea of wanting to work for a living is one of the many skewed parts of humanity and a product of the long-term lies we have sold ourselves to explain why we ultimately ruin the planet, freedom, and happiness more with each passing day… I have to say I’m living a version of my dream job now.

I’ve had a lot of thoughts on careers throughout my life and have explored everything from paleontology, oceanography,  and forensic investigation,  there are a couple of things I keep coming back to. Writing, of course, has been my chief desire for most of my life. I would love, beyond any other job, to be able to fund mine and my wife’s life and travels solely with the money made from my books. In other words, I’d love to be a bestselling author. But teaching is also a passion of mine. I have had dreams of being a college professor for a long time, and that is still an ultimate goal, but teaching high school English is one of my greatest achievements to date.

In essence, teaching and writing are my dream jobs, and I’m beyond blessed to day that I am living that dream each day. I might not be riding the bestseller list, and I might still have to teach standards of learning rather than specialty period courses, but I am, as they say… living the dream.
