This is a fun question. I truly believe that my dream job is to have a bakery that is also a bookstore somewhere in the mountains and that would be the perfect cozy spot for people who just want to read and enjoy a cup of coffee, a slice of cake and this is perfect for me because I enjoy a slow paced cozy day with baking and surrounded by books. That is my ultimate fantasy to be surrounded by cake and books. That sounds heaven to me. I think this would also benefit a lot of people because it'll bring together a community who would be who would have a shared interest of reading and enjoying the legacies. I would have a weekly favorite book paired with a weekly special dessert and I have just a lot of ideas on the promotional schemes of the store. I'm really into it and the location is also very integral because it being in the mountains makes it more cozy and close to the nature. So that is my ultimate goal in life to own a bookstore that is also a bakery.

Um, my dream job is an IT engineer or you can say a software engineer. Since my childhood I have always been enthusiastic when it comes to computers and when I grew up I heard about BCA which is a degree for computer application and I chose that degree out of excitement and I had learned so many technical things which helped me to learn more about computers. I had built so many projects due to which I was able to understand that if I will be a software engineer or develop a product then I will be much more happier than doing any other job. One more reason why I want to be a software engineer is because there will be less labor work such as doing physical work as people do in mechanical engineering. There are several advantages of being a software engineer. You can work from home, the paycheck is high and you usually get many leaves and later on I can start my own startup if I want to by using the skills I had learned during my software engineering job. Thank you.

So my dream job would be to become a dermatologist one day. I am really interested in treating skin diseases. Also, I want my patients to feel confident and comfortable about their body features or skin. So, maybe I would like to perform surgeries, cosmetology. And also, I am really interested in doing Botox fillers. It is a trend and it might really be a great income in the future. That's what really I am thinking right now. And of course, I really would like to help a lot of people feel confident about themselves overall. So, currently I am a nurse that is working in a dermatology department who assists with a doctor and even performing basic procedures like treating viral diseases which I don't like right now. So, maybe I would like an upgrade and I want to do this kind of things like surgeries in the near future. Maybe I would like to upgrade my trainings to that.

My dream job would be to become a sports psychologist and this is true because I am a huge sports lover. I have done participated in sports for the first 18 to 20 years of my life that to every single day I have done some kind of sports for example either athletics or swimming or gymnastics or different kinds of games. So sports is a huge part of my life and psychology also interests me so being a sports psychologist I would actually be on field helping athletes either one-on-one or in teams and groups helping them perform and really up their game for whatever sport they are doing. That would mean waking up early because most of their practices are either early or in the later half of the day since during the day they have either work or college or school. So it's also perfect because I love the idea of helping athletes to do even better than what they're capable of because especially at the elite level the best of athletes they tend to choke under pressure which should not be happening so my interest in this field comes from also studying in it. I have studied this during my college years and I love being since I love playing sport myself but I can't pursue it professionally so the second option would be at least being in that environment and helping others perform to the very best that they can by using different techniques to help strengthen their minds such as visualization, different kinds of breathing techniques, different styles of focus and
