Top 5 dream jobs?

[lurok]

I wouldn't even consider them 'jobs' and admit am fortunate to have worked in areas I love, but some parallel universe/alternate careers would be:
Pianist (concert or even peripatetic jazz bars)
School teacher
Doctor/GP
Human rights or community lawyer
Screenwriter
Opera/theatre director

These are actually fairly grounded for dream jobs , but I think I'd really like doing them. In no particular order:
Sign Language interpreter -- think of all the cool lectures and things you could attend!
Other translator -- read books all day? Sure!
Director of photography -- I imagine I'd be fairly good, and it's as involved in TV/filmmaking as I'd ant to be
Costume designer -- same reasoning as above
Park Ranger in a forest

Yes. One of the terps i had years ago told a story about standing by a patient having a open heart surgery. I also heard of one who interpreted through medical school (for a deaf medical student naturally).

This is doable.

It always interested me because ASL was my first language, but my hearing was recovered sufficiently that I started speaking by four and a half, attended a general ed school, and lost most of the sign by the time I was 7 or so. My dad never even bothered to learn it. In college there was a student with a cochlear implant in my program (we had tons of classes together), and I always did notes for her so she could concentrate on her interpreter. I wonder how I would've been if my hearing had not been restored or if I'd continued learning sign even while hearing.
It seems like a really positive job. I especially love watching really creative, joyful interpreters, like those at concerts! Like this awesomeness:

1) Radio station General Manager. (All they do is come in to work at 10:30 am, tell everyone to work harder, leave, golf for the rest of the day)
2) Backup NFL QB. (All that money just to sit there and watch the others play!)
3) Film/TV critic. (Just so I can get paid for all my rants about TV and movies)
4) Food critic. (Food.)
5) Yeah, being Melissa Benoist's trophy husband would be freakin' great. Too bad she already has one, but I'll just put that one on here too, anyway. It is "Dream" jobs, so it works.
