No particular reason why this comes first, other than I made a little joke with the title which registered about a 0.03 out of a hundred on the funny scale and has only been depreciating since so I'd better get it out of the way before we go any further.
Dream Job: FBI operatvive, standard.
That's right: Federal Booby Inspectorate.

Very well, then. Moving on...
So, my dream job would be to be given money for doing nothing, same as everyone elses. Unfortunately, that job does not exist, so I'll have to look elsewhere.
If I'm honest, there's still a part of me that thinks I could make it in professional football, despite the fact that this is patently absurd. With little skill and even less fitness that dream will forever remain nothing more than a fantasy.
Dream number two would be to be a novelist, but I don't have the motivation or the imagination required to write 250+ pages of well thought out and enjoyable material. I could possibly ghost-write for someone but I think it would be soul-destroying to see your work out there with someone else's name on it.
I've had some compliments over the course of writing this blog, but I still don't think I'm that good at writing so I'll probably do what my mother did and one day I'll write something but never get the brave up to try and get it published.
Dream three would be to be a musician, but whilst I've got more skill with a bass guitar than I have with a football, I've less motivation to practice and learn to play than I have to write. So that dream is no more likely than any other. Plus, I'd want to sing and anyone who's heard me try that would attest that it's not a good idea.
Also in there are acting and politics, but I'm not "TV pretty" and have no charisma so they're both out too.
So, feet on the ground. A job that I can actually do and that I would enjoy. I have literally no idea. In all but a few situations I have absolutely no self-confidence and as a result I always think I'll be terrible at almost any job you care to mention, and whether that's true or not, it means that I have shy away from trying to get that job. To be honest I can't face the idea of a "normal" job. The idea is almost unpalatable to me. Maybe it's because I'm a product of the "famous for being famous" generation but I've never fancied working in a shop or a bar or an office or any other normal place. I always saw myself in some exotic location doing something incredibly fun that pays ridiculously well despite being not even remotely like real work.
