Wwyd?

More than anything else, I love what I do now for a living- technical illustration.

But my other "dream" careers have been:
Naturalist
Anthropologist
Veterinarian
writer
art/antique restoration

My DH has been dying for a reason to move there. As a professor of chemistry he would be thrilled to teach just one student. I could teach physics. :D

i don't think there is a good future in being a criminal ;)

To be independantly wealthy so I don't have to work. That would be a job of sorts.... right??

Dream jobs:

professional singer (of the Kelly Clarkson ilk)
professional ballroom dancer (like the pros on "Dancing with the Stars")
or dancer in broadway shows

...quite a bit removed from what I actually do (software engineer), no? I can't dance worth a darn, either! I sing a little better than I dance, but am certainly no Kelly Clarkson. :D Ah well, we have to have our dreams of getting paid for what seems like just pure *fun*, right!?

chickwhorips: lol, I ran right into that one. hehehe.

What a great thread!! I have always had a long list of dream careers and had a hard time figuring out which I wanted to persue first.

Previous Career: Civil War Historian and Period Costumes

Dream Careers:
Teacher for the Deaf
Detective
Mortician
Yarn Store Owner
Park Ranger
Graphic Designer
Photographer

I'm in the career. I'd just be making a LOT more money at it. (Screenwriting.)

Ah, when I was graduating the counsellors (sp?) just didn't put any energy into telling us how many options there could be....

Real careers that would take getting an education:
Physiotherapist
Aromatherapist
Architect

What I dreamt of as a youngster:
to be famous

What I do now that feels like the real thing, and that I hope will make me money one day (less "real" job, more "magic" job):

When I was a kid growing up in FL, I wanted to be a mermaid at Wiki Wachi. In reality, I don't think my tail would look too good in a tail these days. Betcha I could still hold up those two sea shells pretty well, tho. ;)

I love what I do now. I love the interaction with my patients. Especially the kids. Playing peek-a-boo with the littlest ones in the waiting area to chill them out beforehand. The older one's faces just light up when I give them a sticker with Shrek or Big Bird or whomever. They get 2 if they cried the whole way through the exam. With kids, last impressions are the ones they remember. Just wish it paid more, I guess.

As a total dream job, I'd have to go with acoustic guitar player for someone like Bonnie Raitt, Cheryl Crow, Jimmy Buffett or Melissa E. Wouldn't even have to pay me. :cool:

Hey, fellow weaver. Oddly enough, I do not want to make a living at weaving--I'm afraid that would make it a high-pressure, not fun, pursuit. Here are the things I wanted to be when I was a kid, and I still want to be them:

Cowgirl
Ballet dancer
diver/researcher with Jacques Cousteau
Psychologist
Archaeologist

I've done numbers 2 and 4. I've also done about a decade of policy research on economic/labor market development, which I liked.

I'd be happy to retire and do volunteer work with kids. I still like the kids as much as ever. Would like less pressure/responsibility. Would like to spend more time weaving and making art, but not as a way of earning a living.
