Millions of Americans sit in "cubicles" (small areas surrounded by low walls in office buildings) and "fantasize" (dream or imagine that something is true) about their dream jobs. Of course, every person's dream job is different, but many dream jobs share certain characteristics.

A lot of dream jobs are based on people's "passions" (things that a person is very interested in). For example, for many people, a dream job would be being a singer, musician, or athlete. For other people, a dream job would be an opportunity to eat or drink what they like. One person's dream job might be to be a "food taster" (a person whose job is to decide which products taste best and should be sold), while another person's dream job might be to be a "restaurant reviewer" (a person whose job is to eat at different restaurants and write about the experience).

Many people's dream job involves traveling. They want to "see the world" (go to many different places) and get paid for it. "Travel writers" (people who write articles and books about traveling) and "tour guides" (people who lead other people around places on their vacation) are some common dream jobs.

Dream jobs for people who are "kids at heart" (people who never really grow up and continue to enjoy the things they liked as children) might be to design toys or "doll fashions" (clothing for dolls to wear).

Unfortunately, because so many people are looking for these kinds of dream jobs, the "salary" (the amount of money made in one year) is usually low. In general, people who make a lot of money are being paid well because they are doing jobs that nobody else wants to do.
