Actual Job :Bank Teller *blah*
Dream Job: Financial Planner/ Financial Educator
I'm a teller so that I can get experience in banking. When I finish my degree, I plan to move on up!
Same here!
I'm a part-time bank teller. But my dream job...hmm...that I'm not sure of. I'd love to do something with music, since I used to enjoy singing/song-writing and I've been playing guitar for a couple of years now. But my voice sucks & I haven't done much of any real poetry in forever...

Oh, what led me to this job?
Well, I had minimum wage jobs pretty much for a year or two during/after my senior year. Worked as a dietary aide (food slave) at a nursing home for a couple months. Then as a Starbucks barista for about 2 years (A year at a licensed store, then 7 months corporate). Long story short, after 20 applicatiosn & 6 job interviews, a friend referred me to her bank and BAM. Finally got a big-kid job.
PS- (I've never been the same. I have lost almost all hope to humanity dealing with serving entitled people with over-priced, over-rated coffee drinks!!!)0 -

Dream job: Writer
Actual job: Writer. I wanted to be one ever since I was old enough to realize it could be a paying job. I love my main topics, too (theme parks and animals).
When I got older, I also decided I'd love to get a doctorate and be a counselor. Achieved that one, too, and loved it, especially couples counseling. Then life shifted and right now I'm mainly using the degree to teach psych.0 -

I'd love to be in advertising but chose to go to school for Payroll leading up to my current career in Human Resources.
I chose Payroll because of the money and economical need. Do I regret it? At times but I realize now that I work for my vacation time and salary not for the joy of my day to day career.
