If You Could Have Any Career -- What Would It Be?

[Jill]

I hope we all love what we do every day, whether it's at home, on our farms, or "off site". But if you had to pick a career other than the one you actually have, what would you pick?

I absolutely love what I do for a living, but if I had a magic wand and could do something else, I'd want to spend some time being either a successful comedienne or a popular novelist.

What about you folks? Aside from your actual job or career, what would be your dream occupation?

I would like to be a vet assistant,wouldn't want the responsibility of the vet

I too love my job, but do not care much for my employeer and managment (federal govt)...they certainly do not now how to run anything, it is a complete joke. But I do enjoy what I do, they are the only employeer I can work for.

I'd love to be a marine biologist or something like that, something that deals with wildlife.

I have 8 years until retirement and I was thinking when I retire I would like to become a DNR officer part time, but I've changed my mind lately...I want to be a couch potatoe...lol.

 

[Davie]

I would have loved to be a tax attorney (CPA/Lawyer). I love both fields and would have liked to combine them somehow.

 

[Reignmaker Miniatures]

For me it would be an author. I have always loved to write and can't imagine anything better than being paid to do it and I don't care if I'm writing short stories, novels or newspaper articles.

 

[wildoak]

I would enjoyed being a writer too, or an artist...dabbled with that when I was younger. But secretly, I'm really a wannabe geologist or archeologist!

I'm a teacher and absolutely love what I do. I decided to be a teacher in 8th grade and never changed my mind after that! However, like others have said, I love to write and would love to have the time to actually explore that - maybe children's books or novels, who knows! My husband tells me if I would actually spend all of the time writing my own stories that I do reading other people's stories, I could get published and he could quit his job!

But, I also have thought about being a nurse. I worked my way through college by working as a legal secretary during breaks and I really enjoyed that, too. Lots of fun things to think about!

I would love to be an animal nutritionist, wish there was actually some kind of demand for something like that, but from what ive seen, no money to be made.

For the record, Im a cosmetologist and also work part time at a restaurant

 

[~Lisa~]

I would be a medical examiner or a detective

 

[Taylor Richelle]

A photographer! I am going into the Navy in a year or so and hope to get into their Photography course. They do tons of traveling, I've done tons of research on it and talked to my uncle who is also in the Navy.

 

[Riverrose28]

I am a retired vet assistant/small pet groomer. The greatest job I had was Mother, and still is, but if I could do it all over again I would be a paleontologist. I am like a little kid when it comes to fossels and dinos.

 

[LittleRibbie]

Dont laugh but I would love to be younger/stronger and more fit and I would haul my butt to Alaska and join the Deadly Catch guys and be a crab fishergirl...Im not afraid of water, dont mind the cold and I think I could hold my own with the boys!! I would even do it for free for a couple of trips just to prove myself!!

If that didnt work I would love to be a game show host....I'd love to be able to give away other peoples money and gifts!! Deal or No Deal would be my preferred game!!!...sorry Howie!

Fun Thread

 

[tagalong]

Animation artist. If I had gone that route years ago, I would have financial security by now and be happy as well!

Oh well... woulda coulda shoulda...

Second choice - children's book writer/illustrator.

 

[candycar]

Ok don't laugh,

I'm already a retired Heavy Equipment Operator, but, if wishes were pigs that flew--

I would have loved to be a dancer

Any kind, I don't care. I've wanted to dance all my life.

However

I'm as graceful as a cow in mud.

A modern dance class when I was in my 20s and a Belly Dancing class about 11 years ago proved that. Sigh.

 

[Jill]

This is so fun! I love reading everyone's responses!!!

:yes

 

[REO]

I was a cook & waitress. I'm a very good cook!

Even just today I said to hubby I need my own place where I could serve heaping plates of great food!

An artist

A writer

An archeologist.

But I LOVE what I do! Which is have my horses and do anything I can to help people when I can.

Well i'm on my way to becoming a vet as that has always been my dream so i'm hoping once i'm done with my undergrad in 2 years I can get into vet school. I want to be an equine reproduction specialist, but we'll see. I actually have a picture I made in kindergarten - we had to draw what we wanted to be and I drew a vet. Haven't changed my mind since

would love to be a writer or a paleontologist. Actually I wouldn't mind being a librarian either. I've always for a book in my hand.

 

[SampleMM]

A trial attorney because I love a good argument.

 

[Helicopter]

I was a school teacher for 33 years until I retired myself 10 years ago.

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

Actually I am more than happy just being a little equine slave.

 

[sfmini]

An heiress, independently wealthy. Then I could do as I wish with the horses, travel, take loads of photography classes and trips, cruises, etc.

I 'graduate' from the workforce (I hope) in 4 1/2 years and lately have fantasized about just chucking everything I own, buying an RV and hitting the road full time. Sounds so attractive..... Just me, the dogs, and the birds.
