Dream job?
Just been bored and nosey sorry....
Outside of being a mummy, what job would you love to do, are doing, or dreamed of doing when you were a child. Do you feel like you are able to do what you'd like to do career wise still with having los, or has it changed since...
I wanted to be a doctor, and now I'm a nurse, but I still want to be a writer... and have published a couple of short stories, but sometimes I would love to do something completely different. My children changed everything as my first came along 2 days after my 20th birthday.

i want to be a historian!!
or a midwife. infact. my dream job would be getting to wear victorian era type clothes and take guests on a tour of a great stately home each day. i dont care how repetitive it would be...i have a passion for the victorian era and also abit for the tudor too.
like you hedgie, i'd love to have been a writer - books like Jill Mansell (who i think was also a nurse if i'm right, so maybe there is some hope.....!!))
i'm not sure what else really - it would be something where i could work as and when i want to, earn good money so i can have a nice cleaner / ironing lady.
otherwise, in all honesty, i probably am doing my dream job!! it is what i always wanted to do from as far back as i can remember, and i love doing what i can for women and their new tiny miracles!
Otherwise would love to do something that involves history or failing that Chief Cake Taster at Slatteries lol x

I would now love to work with disadvantaged children eg children in care. If i won the lottery i would foster but my house is not big enough to do it now!
My real job is as an accountant. I dont love it but i dont hate it either. It pays the bills
The other carear I would like is to work with children with learning difficulties, I think since having Joshua its made me realise there must be so many children out there who dont get the help they need or deserve. Once we have baby number 2 (not pg or ttc just yet) and he/she is at shcool ill then go to uni, in the mean time i love my current job...and the discount is good too! xxx
there was a derelict nursing home for sale in my town that i drive past (at the end of a motorway, so excellent access), and i had it all planned -
the individual bedrooms upstairs would be decorated in each of the nursery room themes & furniture that i would sell, the massive lounge downstairs would be for all the car seats & prams etc - including a little "off road" area for all the 3 wheeler type prams, and the kitchen turned into a coffee shop.
i would only stock prams that i liked the fabric of tho' -sorry!,- and i would be honest about each prams good and bad points. i'd have a range of clothing - preferably something "different" (i love Next etc, but you know what i mean!!), but not at designer prices.
it would all be aimed at normal people, not those who have millions that dont miss paying fortunes for a pram etc!
now, the building was up for ??400k, but may have come down in the credit crunch, so if anyone has a spare ??399, 999, would you like to be a business partner?
I have always wanted to work with children and i am very interested in obstetrics but most inportantly have them of my own, i only have macey at the mo who is 15 months but would def like more! This is one of my problems i know what i want to do but dont know whether i will have the time to do it! x
last year i dont the first year of an acconting course was saposed to start the second year this sept but was 7 month pregnant then so have put it on hold for a year or two, then i will do the second year at night like i done with the first as i cant stand the though of leaving my kids during the day, and doing it this way i should be qualified by the time my youngest starts school.
