“My Dream Jobs” is a list of fun/cool ideas. I won’t do most of them ... but I could! They are offered here as thought starters, for your retirement jobs options.



Wouldn’t it be nice to find a job that feeds your self-esteem by the very doing of it, because you get to use the skills you most love to use, in the field you most love to work in, moving towards those goals you would most love to accomplish. That’s possible in retirement jobs!



What are the skills you use when you are enjoying yourself the most, either at work or recreation?
