    Seriously lads though, really reckon love in all its glory, be it filial, parental, platonic, romantic or otherwise has to be the most important thing.

    Everything else can be replaced or overcome.

    Couple of questions:

    1)are you in your dream job at the moment? if not, are you going to do anything about it?
    2)what hopes, dreams, and aspirations do you have?

    1) Dream job? Not quite but close. I work as a Medical Writer and really enjoy it...perhaps because there's lots of room for progression, the money is great and I've recently progressed fairly majorly in the job :)

    2) My biggest aspiration is to be a successful published author. I'd love to make my living from writing books and of course if I made an extremely good living from that I'd be very happy.

    What am I doing about it? I'm currently writing a book. Is it any good? Don't know yet but the plot outline is exciting and what I've written so far is passable but it's early days yet. I've a long, long way to go. :D

    The only way to live a dream is by actually doing something about it.

    Something along the lines of sleepwalking?

    I used to be a milkman. That was a great job, coz of the "perks".

    I also used to be a security guard, which was a great job coz of the sheer lack of work I used to do.

    Oh, working in a factory ruled too, coz there was usually a scrap every week. Quality entertainment.

    I want to be a drummer in a wedding band. We also do barmitzvas.

    I'm stuck in a rut...i have no idea what I wanna do (careers-wise.) It sucks! I like dealing with people...doing reception work at the mo, but I don't wanna be stuck doing that all my life...even though I enjoy it, but there's not much room for progression..

    Other hopes/dreams are I wanna travel more, have a family, ermmmmm...and just be happy i guess!

    1) Don't have a dream job. Any job I have been in was one that was there to fulfil 8 hours a day of work for money just to pay the bills. I have no aspirations to be rich, nor will I ever be.

    2)I want to be fulfilled but don't know how. Haha, I guess I have very few aspirations-I have done little with my life so far. Thanks for opening a can of worms, OP!

    1) I want to do too many things. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
    I'd love to study more art history or work in an arts/design related field.I wouldn't say no to primary school teaching. I do love writing though and something in that field might be interesting. I also love what I do now, which is look after disabled people but I'm not qualified to do it.
    Really I'd like a decent paying job where I get to be a tad creative and use my brain. I love working with people now but I don't know if I could stick it forever.

    2) I just want to be happy. Whatever that may involve. I'm quite happy now, studying art history still and I may as well enjoy it since it might be my last year doing it.

    No, I don't have a job. No.

    2)what hopes, dreams, and aspirations do you have?

    Gonna apply to the fire service after college. My computer science and history degree will be put to great use. Failing that, probably the Gardaí.

    My dream is to be an indie radio presenter and play lots of forgotten rock gems, and to write music articles... about forgotten rock gems.

    I'm a receptionist.

    I've no long term plan. Lifes far, far too short to be constantly thinking down the road.

    I'm in a job at the moment which I'm happy in and make quite a lot of money at, it's not my dream job but it's quite close to being something I'd actually quite like to do on a more permanent basis.
    I intend on finishing college, to at least have a degree to fall back on, and then I want to travel, see different cultures, countries etc.
    Considering I could be hit by a car and killed tomorrow, I don't really care where I'll be in 10 years right now, but if life goes the way it seems to be going, it should be something good.

    I've always wanted to make the perfect cup of tea. I'm also determined to solve the riddle of the dissappearing poo, you know the massive one that makes a big splash and totally vanishes like a diving whale. Except they never surface.

    This will be my third year applying to college, so hopefully this time I'll get in. I want to get a career in nursing.

    Then the usual, I want a family, have a nice house etc. I also want to see the world, visit all the continents :)

    1)Nope not a chance, although it is a step in the right direction, it's in the filed I want but not directly the work I want to do.
    2)Start up my own research, get my house bought, meet someone who is on the same page as me, and hopefully sometime in the future there would be a proposal and if lucky maybe kids.
    Although I'm doubting the meeting someone etc... blah blah..

    The right attitude. Having a long-term plan leads to disappointment - things don't tend to work out. And not necessarily for the worst, but it can seem like it initially.

    1. Drama & film student on scholarship. Work hard, play hard, so things are in balance.
    2. Star in the remake of Kill Bill (without having to wear yellow spandex...yuk!). Do my own stunts with naked blade. And if the director gives me any s**t, then director sushi will be on the menu when the roach coach pulls up for lunch on the lot.

    I'd like to leave a mark on the world. Not necessarily so that anyone would know my name, but to know that I made a difference.

    My regular daytime job doesn't really do this. I fix computers for a government agency. Whoopie. It's a relatively interesting job, but neither challenging or likely to affect anything in the larger sphere of things. Go to work. Sit in a cubicle. Push keys on a computer.

    As a result, I'm quite happy with my alter ego as a reserve military officer. Not only is it fun in and of itself (I spent the last two weeks shooting off thousands of dollars of taxpayer-funded ammunition), but it has the opportunity of affecting a great many lives. I've had a couple of articles published in community literature, and intend to release a book at some point. I also educate people in the local tank museum.

    well, i think the idea of having any sort of job sucks. i don't understand how one could have a dream that involves working for someone.
