I'd love to work as a person partaking in taking apart abadonned housing (or other buildings) in remote areas to free up space for nature.

I'd also love to be responsible for cleaning city center rivers. I always wanted to do it when I was taking a stroll by one of the Dublin's canals.

I have 0 clue how to get into it, but whenever I'd touch the topic, it appeared to my uneducated eyes that the industry may be quite nepotistic as in it appears to be mostly family businesses with jobs through connections, but maybe I perceived it wrong.

What's your unusual dream job?

    I want to be that gruff-but-decent uncle-figure in the post-apocalypse who lives in a makeshift apartment on the mezzanine of an old warehouse full of machinery and tools. A low-key side role, the kind of guy that wannabe-heroes pay for equipment for their adventures, and who they sell their hauls to if they survive their salvage run.

      if they survive their salvage run

      "Dontcha ever want to be the hero?"

      "No. I'm perfectly fine right here. And... good luck on your run out into the wastelands."

      "I don't need luck."

      Smiles. A few minutes later after they've gone he says to himself "Sure you do. Lots of it too."
