Dream Job

camchristo · #1 02-08-2007, 12:51 PM

I'm sure there has been a thread about this at some point in time but I did a search and didn't see anything. If I missed it just tell me this is a stupid thread and carry on. (I did see the thread about current occupations). This one is kind of a three-parter. Do you like your current job? If not, what would you have done instead, realistically? If you could do ANYTHING, what would it be (realistic or not)?

My current job is ok (attorney). Used to hate the particular field I was in but changed firms a few years ago so it is ok now. However, if I had it to do all over again, I think I would have been a veterinarian.

On the unrealistic side (since I really don't have any musical abilities to speak of) I would love to be a rock star! I'm planning on starting guitar lessons soon, so hey who knows!

My job pays the bills and I like the people I work with.

I would have been some vain Broadway legend

my job sucks ass. i'm going back to school in the fall.

i have two totally divergent dream jobs. one is singing. the other is to go into bio/environmental sciences and work in the field, collecting samples, etc. that's what i'm going back to school for.

My job is what it is- not terrible, not wonderful either. But it pays the bills and then some.

If I could turn back time, I would have tried to become an architect.

If I were better looking, I would have been an underwear model.

My dream job is to have NO job. Financially secure and able to travel, hobbies, take classes just for fun, or whatever I wanted to do without worrying about funds or anything else.

I'm a nurse. I love my job, but if I were working in a hospital I'd hate it. Not a hospital kind of gal. I make decent money. But I'd make a lot more working in a hospital.

I decided years ago that I'd rather have quality time, a life and my sanity that oodles of money.

I don't know what else I'd do. Something where I could work from home or have flexible hours. I've gotten really interested in design & remodeling & decorating, and real estate. Maybe something in that realm.

Dream job? Pro bowler. Do you know how much those guys rake in? for BOWLING?!?!

My "modeling years" mostly consisted of sitting in a field with string beans or picking peaches. I wore more than just my undies though.
