    I'd like to be a phys ed teacher at a school. I thought about personal training but I would really like maybe school. I was going to college and finished about half my degree to be a teacher before changing it to admin and now I am just a receptionist.
    I'd want to be different than the gym classes in high school when I had them. They were all things I never liked or understood-I don't understand football or soccer...
    Instead it would be fun to be certified instructor of things like Zumba, Turbo Kick ect. things I like to do and then teach them to my classes. Maybe focus a week or two on each type of fitness class.
    Then this on top of the alread done things like walking, football and soccer.
    I think I just want kids to realize that to workout you can do things you LOVE to do, you know? When I was in HS none of the things in gym appealed to me.
    then again, my work security would be low, since they are cutting teachers and lots of teachers like art, music and phys ed...:/

    I want to be a stay at home wife/mom. I would be so great at it. I love to cook and clean and I already own an apron. I love making my family happy and well fed. I just don't have the time to make home made dinners every night because of work.

    I want to also be a photographer - I already do that on the weekends. I would just do it as appointments happen.

    Damn, I *really* need to win the lottery.

    A licensed Marriage and Family therapist with a practice of my own.

    That sounds horrifying to me.

    This is the career that I am studying toward right now, it really is my dream. It's not for everyone, but I love it. :)

    My ideal job was real estate and business broker.
    It allowed me to set my own hours, do my own thing and make more money.
    My goal was to retire at age 50.

    Then when you retire you can photoshop yourself into glamorous settings.

    Live on an African wildlife reserve and hug lions. Shame I quit all science and maths after the basic requirements.

    Or a middle school history teacher. I'm certified, I just can't find a damn job and have pretty much given up for the forseeable future.

    I'm honestly not sure...which is probably terrible. I just know I want to be able to travel and not worry about the cost while doing so.

    I want to be independently wealthy so I can travel the world without a care in the world.

    I'm envious of people who know what their path in life should be. I've been working with computers since I was 15 and thought it was my "thing" but i'm tired of it.

    Being 25 and not knowing what to do with your life is mortifying. Wish one day I could wake up and say "I want to do that!". It would take the weight of the world off of my shoulders thats for sure.

    Something in healthcare is my backup plan if I cant figure it out. Looking back 50 years from now and saying "well atleast I made a difference" would be a good feeling.

    I always thought of being a police dispatcher, but since I married a cop, I'm not sure I have the stomach and personality for the job.

    If I didn't have to worry about money, my ideal job would be a travel photographer. I love to visit new places, and always have my camera with me. Right now I swear I work mostly to fund my travel and photography :) It keeps me happy.

    One of two jobs are ideal for me...
    1 - I want to be an entertainer, singing in the styles of Andy Williams, Bobby Vinton, Michael Buble, etc.

    or

    2 - I want to be a Program Host on the QVC shopping network! I am actually planning to submit an audition video to QVC in the very near future.

    I feel the same, my problem is that there are too many things I want to do! Writing, drawing, designing, counselling, healing, I want it all! I'm a Patent Secretary at the moment which I actually enjoy (lists, organisation, formatting, being precise, it suits my slight OCD!) but I don't think I could do this for 20-30 years.

    I can draw/design so I would like to retrain myself, practice, practice, practice and become a professional artist or a tattoo artist. Would be awesome travelling the world going to expos and seeing other's work. Also inflicting pain for a living is kinda appeals to me!
