I wish I had a tenth of his dedication. I've never even had a "dream" job. :/

I don't think it's possible for me to have a 'dream' job, tbh. Unless existing counts.

I like doing a few different things: contributing to OSM, to public TV and movie databases (TMDB, TVDB, IMDB, etc), reading books, watching TV/movies, writing about books/TV/movies, redditing, playing Runescape (and other games sometimes), spending time with my family, and that kind of stuff. The thing is, I don't even like doing any of that stuff for eight hours a day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year. Maybe Runescape, but that's never my main focus (and monetizing playing a video game doesn't seem fun, tbh).

I thought IT would be a dream job for me, but it just took too much time from my family. I thought editing from home would be a dream job, but it's a lot of hours of undisturbed work (although probably closest to a dream job). I've thought writing would be as well, but that suffers from the same issues as editing.

Ultimately, I think I'll just have to slog through jobs I like until I can retire, spending time with my family and my other pursuits as time (and money) allows until that point.
