    Actual job (hotel guest services) is not a career....it has room for advancement but that's not what I want to do. Dream job would be interior designer (only if I owned the company) or wedding photographer (only if I owned the company.) Ha.

    Your posts about jobs are depressing me! I feel like a loser. I work at a fast food place 2 days a week and front desk at a hotel on weekends. My dream job would be to work with dolphins... but won't happen.

    At least you're working. Since I'm unemployed, I guess that makes me a double-loser. :(

    Actual job: Financial Advisor - what lead me here? the money, duh.

    Dream job: own my own bakery cafe - I'm happiest when I'm being creative in my kitchen especially if my daughter is "helping". And the praise I get from friends and family gives me the warm and fuzzies. Nice bonus.

    Dream job: Own my own cupcakery (Don't worry, I'll make healthy treats, too, and not just cupcakes!!) while doubling as a fitness model and gracing the pages of MuscleMag, Muscular Development, Oxygen and Flex. Maybe even American Curves.

    How did I get to my actual job? Well how does anyone get into a boring desk job?

    I'm here to get into fitness model shape!! Let's go!!
