    I would be independently wealthy, pack my bags and move somewhere warm and sunny. ::

      I would first love to have 100% of my time to raise/homeschool/unschool my children without having to run a daycare in order to stay home.

      Once my kids were old enough to be mostly independent in their homeschooling/unschooling, I would love to buy several small homes in my city and turn them into in-home preschools/daycares (for kids 2-5). After getting it all off the ground, I'd love to direct and manage operations. Then, I'd want to write books about early childhood education, give seminars, and travel as a speaker!

      Big dreams I'd be happy just to raise my kids and unschool, though.

        Tattoo artist... but, artistic ability would have to be no issue as well.

            I actually would love to open up a small center or have a bigger home daycare set up where it's separate from my living spaces...and where I could hire people to help and to go on field trips-besides a walk in my neighborhood!

            Or if I didn't have kids and were younger, a flight attendant!

                  Scientist :: specifically researching genetics, probably. Or chemist. The science of taste/scent fascinate me in particular and I could see myself there.

                    There is a doggie daycare about 3 or 4 houses down from my house.

                    That gal makes $30 PER day (child care isn't that much per day here) and the dog parents must provide all food.

                    She just puts them in runs and plays fetch with them all day.

                    I totally went into the wrong kind of care business... :: ::

                      It seems like it's getting more popular here and it has crossed my mind to change in a few years. I already have a separate daycare space inside and out that I could just convert for the doggies!! happyface

                        I would build my own home specifically with home daycare in mind. It would all be one building, but the daycare and my home would be TOTALLY separate. This actually really, really makes me want to start towards this goal. Thank you for posting this question! There's absolutely no reason why any of us should be doing anything we don't love love love!

                          Would this be after my children are all grown? If not, then I would open a center, but run it like a home where the caregivers remain the same (due to my awesome wages and benefits) and the ratio would be much much lower. But the set-up would be ridiculous with all sorts of well-stocked centers and a nature-inspired outdoor play area (but also with a playground). There might also be an indoor play area for inclement weather.

                          If my children were grown, then I would like to be like Anthony Bourdain, traveling, sampling food and cultures, and writing about my experiences. I also always wanted to be a physician or dentist. I especially love the idea of surgery... it fascinates me!

                            :: I was just talking about this last night! I could probably make more money running a doggy daycare instead of a child daycare sadly! LOL how backwards is that?? LOL They only charge $30/day here too! I charge more than that! LOL

                                I would buy the house next door to us (it's vacant, the owner owns & lives in the house on the other side of us) and completely redo it as my dte
                                Daycare.

                                Or I would be a travel planner for the wealthy where of course I would test out all the fancy travel arrangements to ensure quality

                                Or I would write kids books
