My actual one, being a Chef. I also have to add, in Western-Europe, with weekly 38 hours work-time, strong laws, unions, background. I changed at my 40. Before I was doing white-collar jobs, with university-degree, and everything... but I managed to have my hobby my good-paying-job. Sure, there are days, when I'm questioning my decision ;)

A bestselling author. If not that, I would like to try my hand at social work. Many people have told me that I would be an excellent fit for social work, and that I should give up on my dream to be an author because rarely an author makes it big in the writing world. However I really do love writing, but at the same time I love helping people, so I would enjoy both.

A doctor. I want to be a doctor that people trust and admire. A doctor which isn’t a greedy person. A doctor that donates their time, and money to help everyone. A doctor that people can rely on. A doctor that can save lives.

Veterinary technician or assistant, then work up to being the vet in charge. If that doesn't work, I can apply to be a game warden, or work locally in retail management. (Planning on a major in Vet Sciences and minor in Business)

Forensic science. I'm a biochem graduate, not so close but not so far either. I know it's not as glamorous as the movies/shows depict, nor as fast, but I like lab work and the tedious work you need to put in there. I enjoyed every moment of my labs in uni, unfortunately I haven't landed a job yet in my field (moved to a foreign country with a foreign language which I must learn well first)

As I kid I always wanted to make things. I'm a welder fabricator now and love my job. But the thought of opening a restaurant keeps popping into my head lately. Might be time to try something new.

I'd love to own and work at a polymer Chem lab developing strong and kinetic energy absorbent materials. But if that doesn't work out, headmaster/teacher at my own private school would be fun.
