I'm a realistic person: I know the job I get right after college will most likely not be the one I will hold on for an extended period of time. Jobs pay for things: rent, food, amenities, etc. It's getting the career that's more important: a career as a writer, author, journalist, rock star, etc.
The job I'd look for after college would be adventurous, life-altering, and, of course, pays decently. Many international jobs offer all these aspects. Teaching positions in China allow students, even without teaching backgrounds, the opportunity to make a difference in others lives. Even simple jobs, such as bartenders, waiters, tour guides, and other service jobs in London are available with temporary work-visas. These post-graduate jobs will allow the non-academic education and growth set in before starting in on a dream career.
My dream career/job would be to become a writer. Author, critic, journalist, etc... anything writing would be a dream of mine. Knowing that someone, somewhere, is reading my thoughts and ideas and actually enjoying them: it's just a great feeling. Through publication, you're (essentially) immortalize in time, having your work stand as a testament to your work and time. If that's not the greatest job, then I don't know what is.
