To be honest, I think I’m already doing my dream job-being a horticulturist. There are many reasons for this, including getting plenty of fresh air and physical activity every day at work. I don’t spend all day staring at a computer screen. I also get to work with plants-they don’t argue back, they are generally quite forgiving and there is always more to learn. I also have the skills to grow some of my own food (just not the space to grow all of it) and also flowers if I want them at home.

I really couldn’t spend all day sitting in an office at a desk all day, dealing with office politics and petty gripes. I also wouldn’t want to commute into the city packed into a train like a sardine due to working the same hours as everyone else-yes, I start early, but I finish at 2.30pm and have plenty of time to do other things in the afternoon if I so choose!

All in all, I cannot complain and cannot think of anything I’d rather be doing for work.
