Dream job

[AlbanianMuslim]

So i know most of us either already have jobs or are students, but what would be your ultimate dream job, something that you have not achieved but if given the opportunity you would take it in a heartbeat..?

Ill start...

Mine would be a professor or teacher at an Islamic university in Egypt or somewhere where there is more people who follow Islam rather than being here in the West.

[CosmicPathos]

mine would be a secluded reclusive mystic in the Himalayan forests. Discussing philosophy with Hindu sages and sadhus.

[Salahudeen]

Imam of masjid al haram leading the prayers, actually imam of any masjid, that's a dream job,

it pays you in the akhira and it pays you in this life also :)

when I was little I wanted to be a F1 driver or a footballer, I like the idea of travelling and being in a different place every week, constantly on the road and never settling in one place. That would make me feel good I think, moving to a new place every week.

become a mystic like me. We could wander on foot through the whole of India and beyond in search of God's signs. And of course write poetry in between.

What, both? How long did it take him to get there?
That's practical actually, every time you mess up peoples heads you can defend yourself in court and save money on a lawyer.

He was 38 by the time he was finished acquiring his degrees. As well he had 2 othe minors and 1 more major. He basically lived in universities. .....sadly he passed away at 40imsad

Im sorry man, but he was a very successful man no doubt. Not many men make it to be a neurosurgeon, let alone a neurosurgeon AND a lawyer.

His educational success was admirable, there is o doubt about it, but...it came at an expense...I never saw him much, and when we did he was studying or working...overall he could not take the addiction to school (i know that sounds weird but true) as well as the unimaginable amount of stress from work. He was a partner at a lawfirm in NY City and a surgeon as well at the same time...he took his own lifeimsad

Please everybody, don't let ambitions of education and employment take away from your time spent with your family and God. Don't let your work take you over.

God bless.

a sad part of life is few of us will ever live long enough to be all of the things we wanted to be as kids.

But, one thing nice is we can try many things as hobbies and put our childhood desires to good use. Hobbies need not be idle time, they can turn into endeavors that benefit others.

You might consider some things like being a part time Firearms safety instructor as a hobby and think of owning a store as your income source.

Why did he take his own life? and how old were you when it happened?

[Italianguy]

Why did he take his own life? and how old were you when it happened?

Actually i am not sure of the whole story on why he took his own life? I was told because he couldn't handle everything anymore? Stress from overworking and his inability to shake the addiction to college. When he died he had just signed up for another Phd to be an Actuary. I was 8

Thats a lot of education. I'm sorry to hear about your loss especially at an early age. It must of been hard for you to grow up without a father.

I love meeting muslims who have attained very high levels of education. I myself am contemplating getting my PhD but dont quite know if it is right for me. I think people often mistake people who become doctors, lawyers, architects etc as money hungry, but most of them I feel like do it because they love it.

money-hungry people also do things because they love money. If there is nothing wrong with loving one's job, there MUST be nothing wrong with loving money. I hate this stereotype against people who want to make money.

And lets admit, very few people would be willing to make personal sacrifices (studying and what not) to become radiologists or oncologists if they were told that they would earn not more than $50,000 per year as medical specialists. Future financial rewards, among other things, keep the medical students sane during their medical school years. No one would be willing to admit this but that is the reality.
