There are too many answers to this -- most discussed at length here and elsewhere. For me, the problem isn't finding a dream job, it's finding only one. And from there, also, there's some difficulty in figuring out how to get from wanting the dream job to having it. But a few job scenarios, in order of dreaminess.
Writer. I'll always write. I might as well get paid for it. I honestly don't remember a time when I didn't want to write.
Teacher. I like talking to people about things I like. Students are a captive audience. Granted, I'm still wavering between high school teacher and college professor, but right now I'm leaning toward the latter. I blame it on my Milton professor.
Office of Letters and Light Intern. There are a lot of big decisions that the big people in charge get to make in the Office. I don't think I'd want to have Chris's job, or Jen's, though I could maybe deal with Lindsey's or Tavia's. But I'll always love the stuff I get to do as an intern. It might seem small, but it's great to feel that people like me keep this great program running.
Bookstore owner. There are far too many small independent bookstores that I want to own, in far too many places in the world. I might not have the management skills or financial know-how to start a business, but I have a feeling I could get customers to keep coming back.
Astronaut. Mostly for old time's sake. And so that I could go to the moon, even if only once.
Wizard. Enough said.
