The ultimate dream job is a profession that reflects the interests and passions of an individual, an occupation that can scintillate and entertain at the same time. My ultimate dream job would have to involve two of my passions: international relations and travel. I am fascinated by a career in international relations, the economic and political dialogue between countries. Watching BBC, French television or reading the Reuters articles are ways I learn about how other nations interact, not just from an American point of view, but from their own. But aside from learning about different places, I am also interested in traveling to those places, especially by airplane. Going to the airport, boarding a plane, taking off for another part of the world and then landing are always exciting. To have a profession that involved both travel and foreign countries would be brilliant.
An ideal job for me would combine travel and international relations into one, possibly a post at the United Nations or for some intercontinental business. Either would involve frequent travel abroad and interaction with other people. Meeting and working with people from different cultural backgrounds is something that I enjoy and a job that would make this a requirement would be perfect. Not only would I have the opportunity to travel to different countries, I would have the opportunity to interact and build connections with men and women who come from completely different backgrounds than me, with different views on politics, global issues and life in general. Because of those interactions, my own world view and opinions would be enriched and expanded.
Although English has long been the lingua franca of international relations, I would like a job that involved using one or more foreign languages on a daily basis, whether it was French, Spanish, Arabic or Mandarin. Being able to speak with someone in
Travel by airplane can be long, cramped and boring but I still think it is a great way to visit other countries and for me, the more often the better. In my ideal job, I would love to be able to frequently fly to locals across the globe. Although travel can be tiring, I would enjoy it all the same because I would see how people live their lives in ways and places completely different from my own. And being able to speak one more different languages would give me an even great view into their lives.
