    I've got a satisfying career in higher education that fits my skill set. Lots of variety. But I'm looking ahead to retirement years and want to find something part-time and fabulous. Do you think it exists? I'm sure counting on it. Hang in there with your 'ho-hum' job. I've certainly been there and is isn't fun. Take care.

    I'm already a screenwriter, but I'd like to have my scripts sell well enough to where I didn't have to work a day job as a video editor. I want to just write from home and travel at the drop of a hat with my wife. I'd like to make enough money from writing alone to support us both. Perhaps one day...

    I just want to be a mom. My payment would be seeing my children grown into wonderful adults. My dream job is to be called "Mommy."

    My dream job has always been to own a big music venue.

    Otherwise-Something in the music industry. I think marketing bands would be fun. A tour coordinator, band manager, tour manager, concert promoter would all work.

    I already work for Pepsi/Dr Pepper but I would love to be at one of the corporate offices doing their marketing/advertising! I have a Bach degree in Journalism/Advertising/PR so that would be ideal! There is just no room for advancement at the office I'm at now and the closest corporate is 90 miles away.

    I like my current job (German tutor), but I wish my classes were more steady.

    I'm starting to think about how I could teach healthier cooking classes, because I would love that.

    Well, I do love my job, as a Teen Services Coordinator! Just wish it paid more. However, my dream is to own my own bookstore/baked goods & coffee shop. Kind of like in the movie "You've Got Mail", only with the added pastry shop. It would be a shop where people would come from everywhere to eat one of my special homemade goodies, sit and read and soak up the cozy, warm atmosphere.

    I have two of these

    #1 on my list would be Early Education
    #2 on my list would be Forensics (in the lab)

    I am currently going to school for Criminal Justice. The only reason I am not pursuing the teaching degree is class times don't allow me to go because I work full-time (Mon-Fri) and all the classes are ONLY offered during my work schedule (boo :frown: )

    But from what i've been told and what i've read you can teach with any Bachelor degree as long as you pass the teacher certification...so who knows :happy:

    Not that I intend on quitting my current job once I graduate - I've been with this company for 12 years and if I go for my Bachelors that is another 4 years so it will be 16 years with this company by then and I can retire from here at age 52 which would only be 10 or so more years after graduation.

    The plus to the CJ degree is there is a department in my current company that I am interested in and they require a CJ degree :bigsmile:

    I gotta say, I pretty much have my dream job! The only thing is, I don't get "paid" for it in the usual sense. I am a SAHM, and I homeschool my kids. Growing up I wanted to be so many things- a hair stylist, an artist, a writer, a singer, and a teacher. And guess what- I do ALL of those things! My daughter and I have tons of fun doing our hair, I love trying cool new styles on her. I paint and draw in my free time and I also use those talents to make fun activities and crafts. I write a blog about my our life as a homeschooling family and I also help my daughter write little mini books. I play guitar and sing along with my kids, teaching them fun songs that help them learn math, reading rules, etc. And obviously, being a homeschooling Mom puts me in the teacher category. And while it would be kinda fabulous to make a little cash doing all that, my reward is much more precious. I get the satisfaction of knowing that I am doing my very best to raise my children, spending as much time as I can with them, and helping to mold them into the wonderful people they are growing up to be :)
