    Current - Human Resources Generalist (have a degree and everything...)
    Wish - Anything with animals. I seriously chose the wrong career!

    People equate careers with wishes to much. Careers pay bills, nothing more. If you love doing stuff with animals, do it for free. Money complicates things too much.

    Current job: I'm a financial planner at a large mutual fund company (I work on salary not on commission.)

    Dream job: Unless someone is going to pay me to pin recipes on pinterest, go to the gym, read books, and watch movies, I think this is my dream job. :-)

    I used to agree with you, by after Interior's behavior last fall, I lost all respect for the profession.

    Anyway:
    I'm an IT professional, currently Java Development
    it would be better if I could work from "home"

    Currently in Federal Law Enforcement, but I will retire in just over 3 years and relocate to an undisclosed island in the Caribbean where I plan to become a pirate. I think I'll excel at that, I'm good with firearms, really like rum and had a parakeet as a kid which of course is like a smaller, mentally challenged version of a parrot...

    I'm an IT developer, been doing it for 20 years or so, tried career breaks to move my focus but still I am here, doing it with some degree of success.

    But, in my heart of hearts, I know I am a creative writer. And I know my subject. But I know I am not ready to write, right now.

    But when I am, brace yourselves. :)
