Imagine, no matter what your age, financial situation or family commitments. If you could follow your passion or fulfill a dream, what would it be? I would love to be an Industrial Designer (I'm a stay at home mom now).

    I would love to be a travel writer...specializing in luxury resorts and spas.

    I used to write for a luxury real estate magazine. Alas they did not fly me to places like Hawaii or Aspen when I was writing about those areas. Heck, they didn't even spring for the MetroNorth train ticket when I did an article on Westchester County ("Where the City Goes to Sleep: New York's Premier Bedroom Community")

    If money were not a consideration I would love to work in a women's shelter or a not for profit organization. I want to feel like I am contributing to making other people's lives better. Right now I work for the government department that doles out the money that goes to those organizations to do good.

    I've wanted to be a Chef for as long as I can remember, but life got in the way. Had a family to support and girls to raise. Well, the girls are all raised, life is good and I am close to retirement. My wife and I are renovating our home to sell, and, when we retire, we are relocating to Las Vegas where I plan to enroll at Le Cordon Bleu. I will never work as a Chef, but I will become one, and my family will benefit when they come to visit us.

    I love my job right now, as a Chef.

    But if I had to change, I would love to be a baseball color man on the radio. I have absolutely no skills in this though.

    Before I decided to stay home with my son, I was a hairdresser and I can honestly say that was my dream job. I loved going to work everyday.

    An Artist and an Author, but I am doing it as a hobby. I published my first children's book Adventures of Bear & Fox two years ago through Amazon. I have my next book coming out next month. If I had more time to work on it I could do so much more. But in the real world I have to make money so a hobby it will remain. My kids love them so that is enough for me.

    Personal Shopper for upscale International clients.

    I'm a Visual Artist & Interior Decorator, so sometimes I *do* get to shop for people,
    and it's sooooo much fun, and I'm quite good at it. Sometimes, I think it'd be fun
    to just do that part.

    I would like to own a book shop. Not just any book shop but a vintage book shop, with shelfs full of classics and with that wonderful old book smell. I would sit there and read all day,undisturbed! ugh if only... :( Who even needs to buy books now when there are kindles around? It's such a shame.
