    Dream job: Someone who could magically create peace for whoever needs it.

    Actual job: Administrative Assistant for a mental health program that's trying to change the system.

    Both are things I firmly believe in, despite (but moreso do to) the idealism involved.

    Dream Job: Casting Agent or Music Supervisor (for film or TV)
    Actual Job: Escrow Officer

    How did I come to have such and awesome career? Well I was working as an assistant teacher in special education, making less than $900.00 a month and living with my parents while I went to school. I had an overweight child who weighed close to 200 lbs (10 years old) attack me and the administration told me to "deal with it".

    So I went to my class that night (geology) and was crying to my lab partner that I needed a job. She told me her boss was hiring and I went in for an interview two days later...got the job...went back to the school and promptly resigned.

    It's been 9 years and countless job title add ons...and promotions...and I am still here.
