What's yours? If you could start life over again, what would you really aspire to be?

Right now I am trying to become a pro tennis player. If I don't, well, I would love to work in media, like film production, or a magazine editor for a huge magazine like Glamour or Cosmo :)

I guess I wouldn't mind being a fitness trainer either, or a sports manager. Something which I'm active and busy! I personally would hate a 9-5 office job (I know being a magazine editor is an office job but, THE CLOTHES SAMPLES! FASHION!)

Very interested to hear everyone elses thoughts!

    Fiction writer. Though I'm hoping I won't have to "start my life over" for that.

    Rock Star! I could learn a few chords on the electric guitar, and scream loud enough with my 1/2 octave range, so why not??? I see them all the time on TV & hear them on the radio, with no more talent than what I might have! :p

    My dream job is to run a summer camp. I worked for two years at a summer camp, and was eating awful camp food ( every day featured some sort of ground beef dish and tasteless bagged salad) but I was outside playing every day. I weighed myself one month into the summer and had lost 10 pounds just from leading hikes and playing games!

    The highlight, however, was watching kids learn about themselves. I worked at a 4-H camp, which mean the kids (usually) wanted to be there. It was incredible to watch how quickly friendships were made, and how sad goodbyes were after only one week of knowing each other. Kids who were normally on the outside of their communities were welcomed with open arms into groups of kids who had little in common aside from owning a cow or a horse. It was a chance for kids to either take down walls and become themselves, or to try out a new persona on a group of strangers. We don't often have opportunities to re-examine who we are and what we like to do, and I really believe summer camp is that opportunity.

    I am working a desk job now, but trying hard to get a program ready for a soft launch of day camps or weekend camps for this summer. Wish me luck!

    if i could start life over i would LOVE to actually go to school and no skip so that way i could finish it and go to college and become an archaeologist or become a DR. I would love to travel the world and do something amazing either discover new things or help save lives.

    I do have my writer's side though, i would love to write fiction i hope someday to go to college to help me reach that goal. I think i would like to maybe be a journalist as well.

    I would love to own a bakery! But I would probably eat everything... would be constant temptation. I ADORE the smell of bakeries, I always seem to gravitate that way whenever I'm in the supermarket, or when I walk past one I seem to always make my way through the door... If only I could eat whatever and never gain weight!

    Already achieved it. I'm a firefighter. The only thing I would change is my inability to sleep while working. Being on a department that has 24hr shifts would be awesome. Only work 80 some odd days a year on that shift.

    I do one of my dream jobs part time. I am a dog trainer. I take in dogs/puppies with training issues and keep them for 3 weeks and work with them on their issues. I have a real job that pays the bills since my dog training job is done under someone else's business and insurance. I would need at least 4 dogs a month if I did it on my own and since there's no guarantee how many dogs I could take in (and I don't want to neglect my dogs by having too many others here), I can't do it as a full time job.

    My other dream job would be to own a bed and breakfast in the mountains. It would be pet friendly and I would offer pet sitting for the people staying there if they wanted to travel or go some place that doesn't welcome pets.

    I've got mine, I'm a writer.

    That's not to say my goal hasn't changed over the years, but it's always been what it is in my heart. I've been a talented writer since I was very young. I was reading and writing by two, and was first published when I was seven, but it was always an interest and not a career goal. I believed writing well was something everyone could do, and never imagined I'd be paid for it.

    So, I took another route, did something else I adored and studied TV Production at university. Only after graduation did I begin to realise that people WOULD pay me to write, and now I do. I get paid to write, and I'm also working on a children's novel for charity. Love it. It's great that the one thing that's always been my love throughout my life has turned so well into my career, even though I cast the idea aside at a young age and tried to do other things. It all just slotted back together.

    If I may ask, how did you become a dog trainer? I was thinking about doing it, but have no idea where to start. And no dog either ATM.
