I don't see how apart from winning the lottery or being qualified to receive welfare/disability. Unfortunately I don't have the aptitude for STEM nor the social skills/personality to make it in business so I will probably be working this $9 an hour job until the grave, or my body gives out and end up disabled.
What would be your dream occupation? Something you would get up in the morning and absolutely love to do, regardless of pay or acclaim or anything else?
My dream occupation is being the man, the myth, the legend known as "The Stig."

My ultimate dream job is to be a veterinarian at a wildlife sanctuary. But we all know how difficult it is to get that job Especially since sanctuaries (most of them) are relied on public and government funds.
Happy to say I'm already in my dream profession (librarian).
I am also a classical musician on the side, and I do love that too - but I considered making it a career, and quickly realized that would kill the "magic." Not to mention, the life of a professional classical musician isn't exactly a lucrative or reliable one. So I found a career that IS steady and somewhat lucrative, which I still enjoy immensely. I know very few people understand what a professional librarian actually does, in fact most don't even realize the strict educational requirements... but trust me, it's extremely rewarding and fun! Can't complain.
Like Gizmo, I am very happy and really love my job, I am doing what I do best, security and public safety at the Marriott International Resorts, They have breakfast waiting for us and lunch from a five star menu because the management feels a happy employee is a productive employee, go figure? lol. The place is very beautiful and lovely working environment, they have great music playing through the pipeline, very smart guest being booked all year around, ( Princeton, NJ) and our security teams work hand in hand with other security teams provide by our guest and dignitaries that always keeps things interesting. The best gig I've ever worked, which includes retiring from the Govt and the military. The best gig ever.
