Would it still be something so practical? Would he ever want to go to school to study something?
I've got a fiver that Dean and Sam (having realized that he doesn't want a "normal" life, he wants "his" life) become the next Bobby, house full of crazy old books and devil's traps on the ceilings and providing intel to up-and-coming hunters.
He's gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. You'll see.

Oh, THIS! And Dean can be a volunteer fireman wherever that old rambly house is...
I continue to be incredibly peeved that the CW took off the Sunday night reruns to reair the fucking Pussycat Dolls.

I still find that part where he couldn't even conceptualize of a life outside his father's shadow kind of sad.
I guess I don't make the jump from Dean not choosing such a life as his fantasy to not being able to conceptualize it. I think it's more a case of him not being interested in some froofy white collar picket fence life that he's only seen from afar. He was doing something he enjoyed and was good at. The sad thing to me was that he couldn't imagine Sam being respectful of or happy for him without the commonality of monster hunting.

I'm with Matt on this point.

I think part of what makes it sad is that while Dean would do anything for Sam (up to and including trading away his soul), Sam's tirade at the end of AHBL2 may have been the first time Dean truly got that Sam would also give anything to save him.

That's where I'm really fascinated right now, Anne -- the idea of Dean letting himself be cared for. Which hasn't really happened before. He's the ultimate caretaker.

I really, really hope S3 delves into this. Dean has a looming expiration date and is very much wanted by the law, and Sam has more or less said that things between them are going to have to change with regard to who is looking after whom. That should mean some tricky and uncomfortable moments as Dean learns to accept Sam's new role.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yeah, I expect some uncomfortable stuff. And make with the WOO! noises.
Because Sam getting cranky at Dean for good reason will never not be awesome.

I don't see his vision of himself as all that positive, in the construct world, I guess. I mean, hell, he couldn't really conceptualize himself with ANY kind of day job (thus the fill in the blank conversation with Mary, where his brain was reminding himself that, oh yeah, people have jobs).
The sad thing to me was that he couldn't imagine Sam being respectful of or happy for him without the commonality of monster hunting.
Also, let's not forget that he saw himself as kind of unsavory: stealing money and women from Sam; drinking too much; only able to be with someone like Cameron because she had low standards; forgetting his mother's birthday. So the lack of respect/happiness went far beyond just the education/class differences, which I kind of think we're forgetting a little in the focus on the education/employment aspect.
