“What would be your dream job?”  If you could have a job doing what you enjoy or desire most, what would it be?

This one go so much attention the web site crashed — paid to live on a beautiful tropical island.

What makes the job so enticing?  What would be your ideal job and why?

Scot McKnight, a seminary prof, made this observation:

One site had a question about the “dream job” for the pastors and not one of them put down pastoring or preaching and discipling … one had building furniture. Nothing wrong with building furniture, that’s for sure, but … if your dream job isn’t pastoring … well, it should be.

Without getting to the implication and merits of this comment, it seems many folks have a dream job in mind.  What keeps us from getting this job?  It may be viable limitations (4′11″ and 120# can be career-limiting in the NBA or NFL), but what else?

Here’s a different take on the question — what if our dream job is doing what we’re uniquely made for?

What has God called you to and how are you doing at it?
