15+ Redditors Answered What Their Dream Job Would Be If They All Could Have Equal Pay
"I’d make cheese for a living. It’s not much, but it’s a Gouda life."
Kids start discovering what they might want to be when adults begin asking them or when they have a favorite hobby, and suddenly it's what they want to do for the rest of their lives. As adults, we can relate to having a dream job, but sometimes it's not as achievable due to practicality.
You have to weigh the factors. Will the salary pay the bills, or will it be enough to live on?
If the answer is no and you still pursue your dream job full-time, it could become a significant obstacle. Sadly, no matter how passionate you are about it, money plays a crucial role in sustaining your other needs and wants.
In a Reddit post, a Redditor posed a question that encouraged commenters to prioritize what they truly want. Specifically, OP asked people what their dream job would be if every job paid equally.
There were many responses from Redditors that involved peaceful occupations. Some expressed a desire to care for animals, while others simply wanted to be surrounded by books.
Whatever their dream jobs were, the post remained wholesome and supportive. Here are the responses from a few Redditors.

The world requires adults to fend for themselves and be financially independent. All the while, industries are trying to promote work-life balance.
It's a contradictory issue because many countries don't have a stable economy, which may require you to give up some dreams. This is why those who can pursue their dream job without suffering financially are considered lucky.
