    I used to work in the NICU with families of babies that were not expected to make it. That was my career.
    At the moment I'm a stay at home Mum to my 4 girls because no childcare institution wanted my triplets for less than a small fortune an hour.

    My occupation that pays the bills is as a full time Registered Nurse, however, my most rewarding career is raising my four hooligans.

    I'm an IT Systems Controller and I hate it. It pays the bills but only just covers my debts etc. I'm kinda stuck though as this is the only career in which I have qualifications and experience. I've always been very technical and enjoy it from a personal angle so thought it would be the best career to pursue but as I approach 30 I realise how little joy I get out of it.

    I love animals and being out in the open so my real dream is to work at a zoo or safari park but the fact is that I need a steady job and can't afford to take the hit of starting back at the bottom. If I could have some small lottery windfall, even just £30-40k to clear all my debts and get a little saving going then I could afford to do it but at the moment, I'm stuck.

    Sorry to bring the mood down!
