Standing in a field of rye, near a cliff, is Holden's dream job. His function would be to watch out for the kids playing in the field, and if one of them strays too close to the cliff, to catch them and bring them back to safety. It symbolizes Holden's idealized dream of keeping kids from growing up too fast.
