So, what's your profession or dream job

[bouaboua]

I'm 55 years old, Born and grow-up in Taiwan. Immigrated to US 30 years ago (March 1984).

I always in the US manufacturing sector as a engineer then become a department supervisor, to a sales position. Then in 1998, I partnered with few others formed our own business. Then I got send to Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico in year 2000 to start another factory from the ground-up, that was some fun and memorable time but distorted my marriage ( Mostly my fault). Got married again couple years later to a wonderful women which is a gift from God. We sold the company in 2005. I formed my current company with three other Gentleman in 2006 as a custom solutions company for industrial display and monitors. This investment almost bought me to the edge of bankruptcy, only by God's Grace, we tough it through and made it profitable after three years. Our main office is in Shenzhen China, so I travel quite it bit to Asia. I love what I do. Lots challenges, frustration, headache but tell me which job are without it?

I had been dreaming become a bilingual cop when I was young, but at the time I don't have the money to go to the police academy. And I'm not sure I can shoot a person when I face the situation. I also dream about become a commercial airline pilot, that did not fly due to the same reason I have a young family to feed at the time, I just cannot put all the burden on my Ex-wife at the time and go to school. So this is me...

Ok, right now I am on dis. due to a medical problem (legitimate no my big toe hurts give me money), I hate it I feel like dirt every beg. of the month. So for the next 3 years or so, I have no job at the moment. Before my medical problem, I sold stuff on ebay ( quite successfully). Once my problem is resolved I will get back into it, but for now I guess you could call me a bum (temporary). It is very hard for someone like me to be like this, but since it is only temp, I can handle it.
Oh also I have been raising turtles ant tortoises for 31 years now,my dream job is to just earn enough money to take care of me and mine.

Hiyas, my name is Melisa, but I go by Mel. I am 35 and live in southeastern part Arizona. I work as a Sr. Software Engineer for one of the top 5 contractors for the US Federal Government. I also own and operate a popular digital scrapbooking website/store along side my sister. I am currently pursuing a BS in Computer Science from the University of Arizona.

Ideally, I would love to just be independently wealthy, but, my dream job would have to be working in the Jim Henson Creature Shop or as a Disney Imagineer.

I am retired from being an over-the-road truckdriver. My current job is animal manure removal expert and their overall slave, along with jungle tamer. It's a job I love. My dream job would be if I could design tortoise habitats.

My son is an IT tech, and that's exactly what his dream job is, the Disney Imagineer. Personally, I'm just glad I can figure out how to download my pictures and send an email...lol

After seeing that one you entered in the pig blanket contest I don't wonder at all. It was beautiful...

 

[wellington]

I am semi retired, I work once a week at an aquarium store doing the books. I worked my dream jobs, vet tech, dog trainer, groomer, and showed and raised dogs. I also worked with a designer and got to put my own work on people's walls The only other thing I would liked to have done is work with dolphins, whales and any other sea creature. I am 52 but will never act it

Ahh yes. In my world we refer to ourselves as PFEs. Professional Fecal Engineers. I can honestly say that I have many decades of fecal relocation experience.

I am currently on disability due to a few surgeries I've had on my hand. I am on my last day f classes in my credential program. The next two semesters I have 24 weeks of student teaching, and I am done with my credential. I'm currently getting my credential in mild/moderate (resource specialist, special day class, special needs), and moderate/severe (autism, Down syndrome, multiple disabilities) in special education. I receive my bachelors in liberal studies:multiple subject. So I can teach everything just about! My specialty is severely handicapped individuals.

As for my current job position, I work as a respite care provider. This means I go to a parents house that has a child with a disability, and take care of them and work on some of their educational goals. I am also working at a grocery store in the produce department, but they are trying to get me to quit since I've been on disability for 3.5 months, and counting.

I am 24 and live in the Central Valley I California!


Here's some great plant identification websites I use.

I am Jean, 44 years old and I have been a middle school special education teacher for over 20 years. I guess it is my dream job, but I am really looking forward to having the summer off to spend more time outside with my tortoise!!

I'm Monica, 35, and I'm a mom. It's apparently what I do best aside from teaching very young children. I have been a farmer, a vet tech, a college secretary, a daycare infant/toddler/preschool teacher.
My dream job would be a geologist or a wildlife biologist. When I was much younger I wanted to be a vet but my life didn't go that direction at all.
I'd probably make an awesome career student too LOL. I love to learn. I have always loved art and music in addition to animals. I play a few instruments and have apparently passed the music gene to all of my children, as they are each quite talented, even my two year old is showing signs of being a little musician.
I've always had a very strong connection with nature, animals, and children. Sometimes I feel like I love in crazy town with my kids and pets but it suits me.

Hi I'm Noel and I'm 41. I live in Phoenix AZ
Right now, I work for one of the major shipping companies, which brought me back to Phoenix, AZ
I've done many of the dream jobs I've wanted including:
Owning a business
Flight Attendant
Vet Tech
Tug Boat Engineer in the Navy

All these jobs were very fun in their own way, but I would love to work at a sea turtle rehabilitation hospital. I just love sea turtles and have always wanted to work with them.

 

[dmmj]

Ok dream job, I have heard horse studs make like 30K a session, so I would like to be a stud, granted it would be a pay cut but one must make sacrifices in order to pursue one's dream job.

 

[abclements]

I'm a mechanical engineering/air force rotc student at WSU (Washington State University) currently. Go Cougs I will be flying RPAs (remotely piloted aircraft) four the Air Force when I graduate next year. My dream job is to fly F-16s out of Aviano Italy, but I had to settle for RPAs since that's where the AF put me.

This is all so great and interesting to read! I honestly didn't expect such a strong response from everyone, but that's the beauty of the community on here, we are one of the few parts of the internet that isn't tainted =P
