Hi people how do you do???
I have a question: is the following sentence ok? - "my ideal job is computer programmer."  I know that the best one is "I would like to be a computer programmer, but is the other sentence ok too?
Have a nice day, evening or even night

Hi,
I would say, "My ideal job is being a computer programmer, or my ideal job is to be a computer programmer." Your last sentence, of course, is good. I hope this helps.

I �d rather say "My dream job is a computer programmer", but ideal is acceptable... What do others think? |

Hi
Most people here would use �My ideal job job would be a computer programmer. �
Hope this helps |

Hi morganalin,
I agree with Carla and maker1. To answer the question "What �s your job?", you say: I �m a computer programmer./My job is programming computers.
Not My job is a computer programmer.
I hope this would help. |
