<p>Interesting thread. Props to you OP!</p>
<p>I dream of being CEO of my own investment firm that i founded and making billions of dollars investing and supervising my company. (LOL. “Go big or go home” the quote of my life.)</p>
<p>I dread thinking that i won’t make it big and go crawling back to my wealthy family and be stuck working at one of my fathers places.</p>
<p>I don’t know what I want yet, so I’ll stick with dread for now.
I dread of living a mediocre life.</p>
<p>Harvard prof!</p>
<p>Or a quant on Wall Street if that doesn’t work out.</p>
<p>Worst job: maybe computer science, I dunno how bad different jobs are.</p>
<p>Dream: neurosurgeon</p>
<p>Dread: fast-food industry/monotonous office job</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same here, I want to work on something that’s satisfying. I guess though, it all depends on my family life, and how I want it. Further, one changes a lot in 6-8 years, and it really is that long by the time I’ll be out of the PhD and have any experience at all! </p>
<p>8 years ago, no part of my life warranted the name “Mathboy” and now most parts of my life do.</p>
<p>Right now though, finance stuff does seem boring. Maybe financial engineering, as I said. It’s the “ugly kind of math,” but again, that’s many years off, so I may sing a different song later.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thank you, I have company.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In a way, also company for Logic Warrior and me :D</p>
<p>Dream: Surgeon, Famous Author, Head Writer for Saturday Night Live</p>
<p>Dread: Anything where you work 9-5 five days a week doing something that matters very little. Anything for minnimum wage where you need to sell or prepare things to the general public.</p>

Ha I can see how some people would like it! I’m just not a “I need tons of money” person and I absolutely hate the whole “notion” of wall street.</p>
<p>Haha. Thats me! Or at least the part that says “I need tons of money”. I know it sounds shallow but hey, honesty…</p>
<p>Dream: Pediatric nurse practitioner.</p>
<p>Dread: Best Buy sales associate. (I work with a guy who’s a college dropout and has worked at Best Buy for 7 years).</p>
<p>Dream: If I decide to go into medicine then I would definitely want to, one day, become a part of Doctors Without Borders.</p>
<p>Dread: Any job that requires prospective applicants to have obtained only a high school diploma i.e. barista, waiter, retail, etc. Also, any sort of teaching job below a university level.</p>
<p>Dream: Doctor (either pediatrician or anesthesiologist)</p>
<p>Dread: Middle management, law, accounting, retail</p>

<p>ice cream man ftw</p>

<p>Dream: Serial cereal killer</p>
<p>Dread: My brother’s keeper</p>
<p>I had a dream a couple of nights ago where I was the campus of my university, and in front of me were two paths, one of which was a plain black top path and the other of which was inscribed with mathematical writings (of the discrete kind I think). In any case, I followed the plain road and ended up at my university’s Medieval Agriculture department (There is no such thing at my university but in my dream my university apparent had something like this) where people dressed and spoke like they were living in the Middle Ages. I was told to feed the animals on the farm and that didn’t go well, and the dream ended with me being stampeded by all the farm animals. </p>
<p>I feel like my dream was trying to secretly tell me that, if I don’t follow my current interest with math, I’d regret it. In any case, a medieval farmer is currently the job I dread most. My dream (quite literally perhaps) job would be math professor or doctor/surgeon or a medical researcher for rare diseases. (When I was 5, I wanted to be a dancer or a model. Funny how these things change so radically, no?)</p>
<p>Dream: Surgeon, Astronaut, Foreign Ambassador (anything along these lines), Spy</p>
<p>Dread: CEO of any company, working at a monotonous office job, project manager</p>
<p>Basically I dread any job where I have to walk into a building everday and/or sit at a computer and type.</p>
<p>I don’t want to be anything
Right now I’m in engineering and I dread not finding something better.</p>
<p>Dream- Accountant.
Dread- CNA. I love doing it now, but if that is all I did for the rest of my life, I would feel pretty crappy. (no pun intended)</p>
<p>Just thought of worse dread for mine:</p>
<p>Being one of those people who live for their kids and do nothing except make sandwiches and watch Jimmy make a fool of himself at his soccer meets, and having no career or even a basic job.</p>
<p>PlattsburghLoser: Dead on with that. <em>shudders imagining it</em></p>
<p>I can’t really think of my dream job at the moment… I dread a lot of things, like with finance or too much math… being an accountant would kill me inside.</p>
