    Musical theatre performer! But it's going to be hard since I can't sing or dance...oh well.

    @yoursilverlining @sunny @808love: I know this probably isn't what you mean, but I work at a community foundation and I just want to say that you ABSOLUTELY can be an impactful philanthropist at pretty much any dollar amount. Seriously, you may not ever have the YorSilverLining Foundation, but you can make a meaningful difference. We manage donor advised funds (individuals with $ who don't want to manage their own private foundations), but also accept donations of all sizes from anyone in the community. We pool those community dollars and make bigger, strategic gifts.

    This is my passion and I am so lucky that it is also my profession. I would be happy to talk more to anyone with this dream about aligning your passions with your giving so that you can have a meaningful impact on a cause you care about. No matter what dollar amount you have to give, you can be strategic about your giving and make a difference!

    (OK, sorry for that random aside, but talking to people about this is one of my favorite things to do!)

    @MRSA: me too! And that will never happen for the same reasons I would also really love to be a florist.

    @Meow: Wow, thank you SO much for your great advice! I snippeted it and sent it to my friend's son. That tip about the National Guard/Air Force Reserves just might change the course of his life - thank you!!!

    I finally came up with a good one- a food critic. This seems like an ah-mazing job.

    @youboots: that's a good one! I think either that or chef is what I am voting for.

    I'd love to be president without having to do the long campaign! I'd like to run for president, say what I stand for and what I'd plan to do (which is the way I think all campaigns should be run), be voted in, and then kick some butts into gear for this country!

    Marine biologist who follows whales to Alaska in the summer and Hawaii in the winter! Not sure if that's a thing but I'm aiming high here

    In more realistic dreams, to earn my yoga teaching certif this year and eventually own or co-own a studio. Got laid off from my "normal" job recently so tempted to just chase that dream!

    Definitely something with photography. A guy named Pete Souza currently has my dream job - White House photographer. He gets to watch and document history as it unfolds.

    @Cherrybee: in college I was backup caregiver for a respite home. I got paid to sleep there 4 nights a week and was literally woken about 3 times a year. It was awesome.

    I would love to be a children's television presenter!

    Broadway/Opera chorus cast member.

    I love performing, but would hate the stress of being the star of a show. Love the idea of getting to perform as my job, but just as one of background actors who sings/dances in the big numbers.

    I'd love to find a big-ass old Spanish hacienda in the Andean highlands (country is not important) and turn it into some sort of hotel/retreat. I'd want horses and cool swimming pools (and if I could find something with a hot spring even better) and then I'd eventually put a brewery on site.

    Then I could just live in the country and ride horses like a cowboy and drink awesome beer and have cool adventurous people come stay with my family and we'd be all bohemian and live off the land and that kind of shit.

    *sigh* a girl can dream, right?!?
