      I could never have imagined my current role when I started my career. However, given that it allows me to help people, find solutions to puzzles, keeps me learning new things and enables me to fix things on a daily basis, I would say it is as close at it could get to being my dream job.

      You are working for long time so finding a job or career path which ticks the boxes of things you enjoy most, or makes you happy, is the best advice I could give anyone.

    It was not my original dream (being a tattoo artist), but my second dream is working in a natural history museum, and my current job (bioinformatics, genetics) might actually get me in that direction! There are lots of cool Ancient DNA labs in natural history museums.
