What Is Your Dream Job?

[Country Kids]

Like luckymom, I have always wanted to be a mom but not a working mom of any kind. I've never been able to do it for more then a few months here and there and absolutely loved it.


For a Working Mom:

Teacher
Owner of a Teacher Supply Store
Owner of a Bible Book Store
Owner of a Second Hand Clothing Store
Owner of a play place (10 lane bowling alley, arcade, party place, huge play place-just a family fun place over all. I have the idea in my head, just need a backer with the money.
Have a show with odd on the travel channel where we go down less travel roads and see where they take us/what we find on them
Someone who works at a funeral home (the dark side comes out)

Ghost Hunter (goes along with #2)
Archeologist (in the US though-love American history)
A historian of some sort
A park ranger


OK, I'm so weird but I love to read the obituaries and see what people have done in their lifetime. Sometimes I'm so amazed at what these people have managed to squeeze into their lifetimes (alot of women) how much they traveled and were able to do this while raising a family! I would love to talk to women that have lived an incrediable full life.

Photography!!!! If it would pay the bills I'd be doing that for sure!

**Either that or a stay at home mom that is just responsible for her own kids and house. I do love what I do, and am partially living my dream, but it'd be nice to be able to drop everything and take my daughter to the zoo or actually run the errands I need to! I get paid on Mondays and never make it to the bank until the end of the week

I've always wanted to be a clown, but I have a bit of a clown phobia. I have signed up for clown school several times, but the thought of being in a room full of clowns scares me Also, the voices are always creepy on the phone, and I am a bit creeped out picturing the clown on the other end of the line. Don't judge

I mean no disrespect, but I found this absolutely hilarious!! ::

I've had a clown phobia since the movie "IT". And because of it I have NO desire to be a clown!!

If I had to choose something other than childcare I would love to work with animals in some way. Like in an animal rehab facility, but I don't know, I think I would have a hard time releasing them into the wild after taking care of them! My real dream is to have so many childcare clients that I would have to buy another house (like bc) or a little building. I wouldn't want anything like the size of a center or anything, just something smaller where it's still cozy and family like.

Wanna see my center? Its exactly like you described. Pm me and I'll send you a link

::None taken! I find it quite funny myself! ::I always tell people that I want to be a clown, only I can't because I am afraid of clowns! I once had a dcp at a private preschool who was a clown. She was willing to train me, but she was creepy on so many levels outside of her "clowndome". She was very different and always "in character" personality wise. It was like she was floating through the sky on rainbows all of the time. Like someone else mentioned I have also drreamed of being a tattoo artist. One of my recent dreams was to start a cupcake stand......but I need a dream that pays bills as well.

I mean no disrespect, but I found this absolutely hilarious!! ::

Honestly? I would LOVE to be a SAHM but that does not pay the bills and since I'm a single Mom that just isn't possible. Maybe one day.

My dream would be to stay at home with just my daughter. We could go wherever we want, whenever we want to do it. I financially can't do that, so I do daycare. At least I get to be home with her, we just have to share our home with 5 other kids and limit our outings to evenings and weekends.

"It" turned me against clowns too. In the book he was worse. To this day, I won't go to a circus.

My dream job: an animal caretaker/trainer at the zoo...... so I guess childcare is as close to a zoo as I can get

My beautiful DIL is a zookeeper at the Toledo Zoo working with the monkeys and primates and lives within walking distance. She is so very smart with a degree in microbiology and could work anywhere, doing anything and she chooses to make $12 an hour working at the zoo.

I live and work in a zoo with a bunch of house apes. ::

[mrsp'slilpeeps]

A veterinary office assistant, Animal control officer, anything that has to do with working with animals.

I think I would like to do something in the legal field. Not an attorney, but maybe back to the paralegal/legal assistant field, or maybe an investigator with the State's Attorney office.

Honestly....I had to sleep on this one last night.

I have ALWAYS just wanted to be a mom to my kids. Ever since I was little I KNEW I was born to be a mom. I am a TRUE Cancer. For the most part I have done just that.

However, If I had to choose something I would like to pursue my psychology degree further (I have my bachelors in Psych) and help abused children or do school psychology. I would open my own practice and also do consulting.

Love this topic

You might have something there. I'm also a Cancer and my dream job would just to take care of my children, husband and home. It would have been nice to have had all of these years to dote on my children and go to the library, petting zoo etc. with just them but I guess my dream came true to a degree and in a few years my youngest will be in school so I will have to figure out a new dream.
I've also loved researching things and am really good at it. I've found "lost" family members and important information that helped in a legal matter so maybe a paralegal.

I always wanted to be a mom and stay home with my children. Since I'm doing that (and have the blessing to provide the same for other little kiddos), and since we are talking about anything ELSE.......

#1 job would be food critic. The type that travels the world and eats and becomes enveloped in the surrounding culture (like Anthony Bourdain). I am VERY open to different kinds of food (I'm a white girl married to an Asian ::), so I definitely think it's doable.

#2 job would be a physician. I've always had a fascination with the human body. My first major in college was actually pre-med/biology but seeing as my #1 ideal job was to become a stay-at-home mom of many children, it was not really feasible. Yes, I was the 19/20 year old single girl who calculated that I would not finish schooling/internship/residency until the age of 31 and I wanted a family before then (as if I KNEW I would find a husband and have children by then haha). The whole doctor gig really interfered with my first life goal, so I changed majors (several times) before settling on and finishing with something that I have really never used since college ::.

#3 job would be either human resources or a financial analyst. These are newer ideas I thought of when I was working at my last job. I realized that I would be really good and truly enjoy HR when I discovered that I not only knew more than the majority of HR people at my job, but I really enjoyed counseling coworkers in HR related stuff (like benefits, hiring, paperwork, etc.). I know, it's weird. My second idea of a financial analyst is something I became interested in because I LOVE budgeting, I love number crunching and I really really like math (again, yes I am strange).
