I'm not sure that I really have a 'dream' job... I like what I do presently, though it could do with being refined a bit - less paperwork, more hands-on work, for a start. I've always liked the idea of being a professional writer on the side, though I struggle with full-length novels and very few people are keen on buying books with lots of short stories. Owning a bookshop/anime store or opening my own engineering workshop would be pretty sweet too, though there's not much income made in those areas, I'd think there seems to be a few would-be writers on this board... maybe we should publish the 606 championship poetry book!

Well my dream job would be a paramedic which I am aiming to do in the next 10-15 years. But if I had any choice it would have to be pulling on an Argyle jersey playing for the first team week in week out

Given ten years, it might be a better prospect, but right now I wouldn't fancy my odds!

There's a chance you might end up like this though --> there's normally enough people in a town to make it work... there's one in Preston, it just appeals to a wider market by selling comics, card games and action toys etc... ;D ;D Not sure there's a big enough market for it over here presently - it's still very much a niche. Given ten years, it might be a better prospect, but right now I wouldn't fancy my odds!

You'd have to do it in London - and that niche has already largely been filled. There are a few places though aren't there, they seem to do very well.

That being exactly the problem - where there's a worthwhile slice of the market, it's filled. Thinking about it, I'd like to move to Japan or the US and open an 'English' shop, selling English things like pot noodles, teabags, English chocolate, offering fried breakfasts etc - they do very well in the US, and England is seen as being quite exotic in Japan!
