WEEK 5: DREAM JOBS????

I am Alberto. I am a 20 years old student; and I am grown enough to have a job. Unfortunately, I may have some kind of phobia related to work; I have never been able to imagine myself working to earn money –the idea of being asked for a task and not being capable of fulfil it scares me. This feels like running away from responsibilities. However it is high time for me “to put my ass to work”. Thus, I have been thinking of what should be my ideal job lately. I must admit that I have never had any type of vocational motivation, so this becomes a quite difficult task for me. Yet, after thinking a lot, I could not imagine for any job. “Maybe, I should take another point of view” I thought. So then I asked to myself “what are those things that would piss me off in a job?”. You know, sometimes you just need to make the right questions, because after that one, plenty of thing came up to my mind.

Firstly, I could never stand working in a place where uniforms are required. Of course, it depends on the uniform; if it is a stylish one, “welcome be it!”; but if it is a Primark dependent’s uniform… I suppose that the best option would be not to work where uniforms are required, letting this way more space for creativity.

Another important aspect is that I am a quite clean person; I can’t stand dirt. As a consequence, this condition rules out all those outdoors jobs and those related to clean up the city streets. I would not care being dressing up as an actor, you know wearing makeup and stuff. But this is a quite different type of dirt.

Definitely, the third aspect I most hate is stress. It is natural for me to be a relaxed person, with no worries and hurries. Thus, people around me tend to get even more stressed than they are because they cannot understand why I am relaxed. This discard the idea of working as a lawyer or as a stock broker.

Finally, I would never be able to take responsibilities of somebody’s life. Meaning, I could never work as a doctor or a pilot. “Could you imagine? On simple mistake and the life or lives of some people will banish”. This is what most scares me.

As you can see, after thinking quite a lot, my best conclusion was “man, you’re not made for working, so… Why don’t you try to win the lottery?... Great but you need money to buy the tickets!!!”
