Yes, I am not talking about this common job interview question which you have to squeeze your brain out to give the “best answer”. I am talking about the dream job that you will make you feel fulfilled. A dream job that lights up your eyes and puts a smile on your face when you think of it. It can be anything. Without any restrictions. Whether it exists or not.

If you could get paid for doing anything, what would you do?

For some, a “dream job” simply refers to a “well-paid job at a large multinational company”. For many others, it is something purely imaginary and unattainable. You must have thought about it too, right? Getting paid to travel the world, getting paid by doing nothing, getting paid by eating and sleeping, getting paid by doing something you love…

Many curious readers on Quora raised the question ¨What is your dream job?” and attracted active discussions. There are even more relevant threads scattered all over the internet. Answers to the question stretched from the wildest fantasies to realistic job titles you can actually achieve. We have collected responses covering both sides of the spectrum.
