My dream job would be a job in academia, but unfortunately the world of academic careers is shrinking even as the number of PhDs is growing.
As to what I would exclude, what I do exclude, as a matter of conscience, is opportunities that require a security clearance. I shudder at the thought of how many opportunities that may have cost me, although of course one can only speculate about the path not taken.
Beyond a preference for academia and an antipreference for the military/industrial/intelligence complex, I don't much care. I'll happily adjust to anything in the way of workplace sociology, J.O.B. descriptions, etc. Right livelihood has always been more important to me than "do what you love." If anything, I'd rather leave my most beloved interests unmonetized, as monetization tends to ruin everything. I view paid employment as a means to an end, not an end in itself.
