Part II: My dream job

After my last post...I was thinking a lot on what my dream job wud be..I definitely know that I need a job which is very dynamic and not the same old 'staring at the computer for 8 hours' kind of job..
So here is my dream list

1. Work as an Anchor for Globe Trekker: I just love to travel and what better job than be a travel show host...I have spent hours tuned to Discovery travel and living watching this awesome series...It is definitely not like any other travel show..but has a lot of adventure and creativity involved in it...
I have always had a passion to explore and interact with different cultures...so this is right channel for it...

2. Architecture/Interior Design: With my whole family in this line..I have often been asked why didn't I go for it too..but back then..when I had to make a decision..I thought that I should be doing something new and different from everyone in the house!!
Anyways I have always had a strong inclination for this..lets just say it runs in my 'blood' and will definitely help me develop and nurtue my creative side...

3. Archeologist/Historian: with the amount of research I have done on Egyptian and Byzantine civilisation..I have developed a strong interest in this field..it is the excitement of uncovering ancient mysteries and coming up with theories which has truly captivated me...

4. Work in Disney: This has been my dream job since I was 5...always wanted to work in the animation studio...but after a horrible professor for Computer Graphics in NTU..lets just say my strong incline for this has sublimed...strange how things can change...but even then I wud still like the chance to work in the creative team with Disney...

so thats my list...put down on paper finally....
so what is the next step? what is the plan of action?? How do I try to make this a reality? is it even possible to do this now?
These are the questions to be answered!!!

Part I: My dream job

Everyday I get up at 6..push myself from the bed..and somehow manage to get ready..then it is off to the bus stop..take the 197..get off 4 stops later to change to bus 30 and then take a singapur darshan for about an hour..to finally reach near my office..and after another 10 min walk...i have finally made it to my desk!!
Then the day goes by...answering customer mails...doing some project work...drinking coffee a zillion times to keep myself wide awake...and then it is time for lunch...
Off to the same old food courts with office colleagues...thank god I like the food I get there...nave a decent lunch over some good conversation..and before you know it.. its time to get back to work...
The afternoons are the most dreadful..doing some work after a nice lunch is something I find the most difficult thing to do!! I stretch myself..gulp some more coffee...try to figure out the problem in the design...come up with some feasible solution..send again a bunch of emails...
and then finally...it is time to leave....

So finally 1 day of my work life is over and a zillion more to go!!!

Is this my dream job?
