What's you dream job?

With the economy the way it is right now, many people are thankful to have a job at all. But lets dream a little bit. What is your dream job? If you could become anything right now in the blink of an eye, what would it be?

We are going to work backwards here. Once you've thought of you dream job, find a real job description or posting. Find out what kind of experience and education is required. Determine what major you would need to focus on in college (maybe there are a few options) and find two or three schools that have the program you need.

Getting Started:
1. Determine your dream job. Write this in your blog. (If you are really stuck, try this: career exploration guide)
2. Search the web for jobs similar to your dream job.

Try the following sites:
cragslist.org
idealist.org - nonprofit jobs
monster.com
hotjobs.yahoo.com
careerbuilder.com
journalismjobs.com
mandy.com - film and TV

Writing the Blog Entry
Once you have the pieces together, write a blog entry in paragraph form, including the links.

My dream job is to be a radio DJ. I found a job posting on craigslist.org. The job requirements are a BA in Communications or Radio Broadcast, and 2 years of experience. I looked for schools with Radio Broadcast programs and found Emmerson College, Berkeley and Full Sail.
