Recently I've been thinking of where to go from my current job. I'm a yard labourer/forklift driver for a builder's merchant here in the UK. I started on an agency but since October last year, I've been under the company's name as a forklift driver; supplying goods such as concrete, fence panels, various types of timber and sand/cement.
I enjoy what I do, especially in the nice summer weather as my role is 99% outdoor work. It's very physically demanding meaning that I get a lot of exercise which keeps me fit. Even though I enjoy this kind of work, it's not something I want to be doing for the next 5 years. Luckily, my manager told me that when one of our drivers decides to leave or retire, I'll be doing my hiab and class 2 courses meaning that I'll be able to drive the 7.5t wagons we have at our branch, which is what I'm hoping to do for the next 5-10 years. If all goes well, I should be on the wagons in a few years.
While that's all great and dandy, this is not my dream job. That's for later on in life where I hope to have my own business building parts for performance spec vehicles such as racing, touring, drifting and all general sought-after parts.
All of this made me think this could possibly be a good discussion thread for our neglected Outerworld section. What's your dream job?
