Describe your dream job

Like a lot of people, it is really hard for me to say exactly what my dream job is. I have many interests, and it would be hard to find one thing that could satisfy all of them. Perhaps this is why I have found teaching to be such a great fit for me.
There are many positives to being a teacher. Most teachers like their jobs because they get to make a difference in the lives of thier students and to share their enthusiasm for something that they love. I agree with these things, but I also like teaching because it allows me to work independently and to get to know a lot of different people. As a writing teacher, I often get to learn so much about my students through their assignments, and I am constantly amazed by how much diversity and experience there is in each class. I often feel like I learn as much or more from my students as they learn from me.
Teaching will never make me rich in a financial sense, but it has many benefits that are hard to find in other professions. I like that each day is different, and I'm not tied to an office or an 8-5 work schedule. Of course one of the biggest perks for me is the time off! I truely value my free time, and I love to travel. Teaching definitely gives me opportuntites that I wouldn't get from most other professions.
