A dream come true
If money were not an issue and you could choose any job you wanted, what would it be? Actor? Model? Professional
athlete? A new survey by Learning Curve, adult education specialists, asked adults across the United States what
their dream job would be.
The results suggest that not only do people aspire to modest professions such as making furniture or helping the
poor, but often at the top of their list of dream jobs are the very professions that others are leaving in droves, such as
nursing or teaching.
The survey also reveals that there are striking parallels between men and women's dream jobs, and that they have an
equally similar list of nightmare occupations. While day-dreaming about the perfect vocation is common among
people of all ages and professions, very few people fantasize about having glamorous jobs.
The Seattle Post newspaper recently teamed up with Learning Curve to send a few volunteers into their dream jobs
for a day. One of them, 28-year-old Tara Rose, used to work in sales, but she found this was not making her happy.
She felt the high demands and targets made for an unhappy atmosphere. An avid bike rider with a passion for social
issues, Tara had always dreamed of working for an organization that promoted cycling as an alternative means of
transportation. When approached by Learning Curve, she told them she wanted to work at the Rockland Bike
Organization (RBO) to help out with their newsletter.
"I didn't realize how much went on behind the scenes. I knew the obvious things, like writing to deadlines, and I had
an idea of what it would be like to try and organize an event, but there was much more to it than I anticipated," she
says.
In her day at RBO, she finished up several articles that were left half-written by a writer who had broken his arm in a
cycling accident. She also called local businesses to raise money for RBO's annual bike give-away for disadvantaged
children. "I was a bit daunted at first, but once I settled down, I loved every minute. When I got home, I needed a few
hours to wind down, as the adrenaline was still rushing!"

Now, a month later, Tara's dream job has become a reality. RBO liked her work so much that they offered her a well-
paid position as newsletter editor. She begins work on Monday!
