    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!!!)

    At least THESE entitled people are paying for their OWN drinks. I work with entitled people expect the rest of the country to pay for them...

    Dream Job: To own my own company where I can work from anywhere especially on my private yacht where I would have my family and could just go anywhere.

    Actual Job: I work in IT and am always learning new technologies. I love my job but want to break out with that million dollar idea.

    I always say there's nothing I can't do when it comes to a computer which is true so if you have a million dollar idea, let me know and you'll get a cut of the money!

    Dream job would be anything working with people dealing with fitness and health. Actual job right now...well I just got a job at Papa Johns that I'll start tomorrow...

    I can see how Fitness and Papa John's goes hand in hand :laugh: Not to poke fun, just thought it was a bit ironic.

    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.

    Nice thread - interesting!

    Acutal job: Petroleum Geologist

    Dream job: Pro skiier

    Hey do you enjoy being a petroleum geologist? I keep waffling between wanting to go back into school and playing with my first love rocks and geology or staying in the medical field.

    Plus dream and job dont mix my dream is to not have to work!
