What do you do as a career.. or WHAT do you want to do?

I am a stay at home mommy, and proud of it!! I love my job!! ;)

Other than that, i have always loved the idea of being an interior designer.

I'm a physicist but I work as a travel editor:D

I'm an office manager for a chiropractic and wellness center. I've learned so much there and have now started taking better care of myself, both mentally and physically. I enjoy running the office and having all of the responsibility. The doctor lets me do or buy whatever I want for the office.

I just wish work was a little closer to home. I hate morning rush hour traffic. Luckily at night I get home late so there is no traffic.

When I was 16 I wanted to be an airline stewardess.
When I was 18 I wanted to work in the theatre so I took acting classes.
While taking acting classes I worked in an office to pay for it.
When I was 26 I went back to school and upgraded my office skills then got a job as a teaching assistant at a local college.
From 28 to 30 I followed my Ex around the province and remained unemployed.
When I was 31 we returned to the Coast and I've been working ever since, currently in IT.

Nowhere in my career did I ever think of working with animals, but now that I'm older I wish I'd made that choice.

I like my job and it pays enough for the mortgage and because I've been here 18 yrs, I do get alot of perks, but it's not my passion. With only 14 yrs to go until retirement, I would be a fool to leave now.

I'm a construction splicer for SBC (Southwestern Bell Communications). That's an outside job, we build the phone lines.

I have been out of the work force for a long time now, raising my children, and I enjoy being a stay at home mother, but I would love to have my own business, maybe running a seaside holiday accomodation,, but thats just a dream.

I would like to help under-priviliged children or troubled teens.

One thing I might add, is I have always wanted to become a Mortician, or Mortician's Assistant, but I don't think I have the right personality to do it, too emotional, it would affect my life too much!!,working with the Dead may be too depressing, but its something I have always wondered if I were capable of doing as a Career.

I work retail in the summer at West Glacier (just outside the Park) I am helping my hubby buld a inteernet business . Hope to get a couple books published this year, kids (my adult) want me to try to get the stories I made up for them done. They both want cartoony dad to illistrate them, that could take time as he is so busy.
I enjoyed being a at home mom too it is the hardest job in the world, it was cut short after hubby got cancer and had to be home for 5 years he became the stay at home parent.
Smokey the elder never to late to do things , making a donation yearly can get rules over looked sometimes.

I used to work in IT and executive recruitment, but I'm now a public servant with Defence. The job itself is a little boring, but the lifestyle and Defence are great.

I've never had a calling when it comes to my career. I like a lot of things, but never found anything that I wanted to do for a long time (apart from being a racing car driver, which I've never had the funds to do!)

When I was younger I wanted to become a vet but never pursued it.:( There was really nothing in school that I was particularly really good at either so I never knew what I wanted to do.
I went to college and started out in Nursing school but realised that it wasn't for me. I then changed my major to Business and then changed it again to Psychology. I ended up with a BA in Psychology. Now I work in the dental field as a dental techinician and I don't really like it. The pay is low and the hours are sometimes very long.
I sure wish that I had pursued some kind of career that would allow me to work with animals. Even if the pay was low I'd at least be much happier. I also enjoy taking pictures of animals.:)

too tall to race motorcycles,
too short for basketball,
too slow to play football,
too impatient to be a writer
too ugly to be a TV star
too lazy to own my own company
too awake to dream about being a politician
too asleep to be awake for my chance....

I work, therefore I am.

;)

I now work for a credit union. It's my job, definitely not my dream career. I still not sure what I really want. I thought about quitting and get another job, but WHAT SHOULD I PICK? :( I thought about being a voice actress. heehee... :D That sounds fun... I better stop thinking before my headache starts creeping on me.

Miss Meow I used to work as a public servant for defence headquarters too, it was somewhat boring, but I sure know what you mean about the good lifestyle etc, it sure had its perks!!!:) ;) :D I think I had more fun at work than out of work, it was great!! the job sucked , but the people, everything else was great!! best time I ever had working for the airforce and navy.

OMG me too! :D People always freak when I tell them that, lol. I looked into it several years ago, but science and chemistry was always my weakest subject and here in Texas it's a 2 year degree, heavy on those two subjects. You must have the degree to be licensed and you must have a license to practice. :( Still wish I could do it.

Well Micki they say there is a job for everyone, not everyone's choice to work with the dead, but for some unknown reason it has always appealed to me, I feel kinda strange even saying that, I think in NZ to be an assistant is not too hard, you just have to do like an apprentice-ship, I would not stand a chance, chemistry and science were my worst subjects, oh well one can have dreams eh? lol,.
