:) hi! I'm a 36 yr old labor and delivery RN.

My dream job would be a vet for a large aquarium/pet store store :p Like Pruess in Lansing, Michigan! Best place on earth!

Alas, it's been 14 yrs and I'm still paying my student loans :eek:

I'm tiffany, I'm 22 and I literally sit on my *** all day during the summer. Yay! This summer I've been running a lot. Which isn't a job, but keeps me busy.

Before, I used to a) work at a coffee shop b) sell snakes with my ex c) volunteer at shelter. Not so much anymore.
I've had an insane amount of small temporary jobs though. Bartender, waitress, pet shop person, and so on.
I think after I finish school I'll either try to get a job with my Blondie, because he's a step ahead of me, or work with my friend and her mom at the nursery near my house.

My goal is always to be somewhat content with what I'm doing. Right now, doing absolutely nothing, I'm not the happiest person ever.

What are you in school for?

25 and working for big box retail... Definitely not where I want to be but it pays the bills for the time being. Even if it kills my faith in humanity.

I love rodents and am waiting to hear back on a rodent caretaker position at the local university. Not I guess my dream job, mainly because it doesn't pay amazingly, but it may lead to a dream job that pays better with training/experience.

I studied animal sciences but I never truly enjoyed working in vet clinics and I got denied from every vet school I applied to due to not having a perfect gpa. Love animals though!

Well as you love rodents so much here is a short story. This morning I was out with my mum in London when suddenly a rat ran right in front of us. Literally on our toes. In England you never normally see rats in broad daylight. My mum alsmost had a heart attack and started screaming. Rodents are her worst nightmare. But I like them.

I am 28, and a registered Vet tech. I am 4800 hours out of 10,000 into my board specialty in exotic medicine. I live in a state that allows rvts to own Vet clinics, so I have a five year plan that gives me the end result of partial ownership in an exotic exclusive practice. Everything on track to get there so far, including growing our current exotic practice section of our Hospital by at least 50k gross per year for the last 3 years. We are getting close enough now that I'm getting pretty excited about each piece that is slowly falling into place. This is my dream job.

I Just found this tread today when I was looking before posting the same thing (since I figured it had to be on here somewhere).
Anyways I'm a 20 year old college Senior 2 potential graduation paths right now-grad in December with communications degree, or graduate in spring 2016 with double degrees in Communications and Art (specifically sculpture)

I have 2 dream careers as of right now, and both are very different from each other. First dream is to go on to get my masters and become a college art professor. Second is to take the part time office job I currently have, I'm a manufacturing design engineer (we make bearings for John Deere and pretty much every tractor trailer in the US), I wont have the required degree but being here almost 3 1/2 years now the boss said he'd like to keep me after graduation, so beyond that my dream is to be first female head engineer at our company (Since they apparently pay up to a certain level of education for you.) I'll already be the first female engineer choosing to stay, which i'm thinking more seriously about than art. Revolutionizing the industry!

Yeah, I cried every time with the Euthanasia procedure.
I learned dog grooming when I was 15 years but it also made me sad that people don't take of dog and look like mop or they are full of fleas :-/

But if you only accept clean dogs the business is very light :)

That is not entirely true. I have been grooming for 35 years and hardly ever see neglect. Well, only in pictures when I visit the various Facebook groomer pages.
Once established and one is grooming regulars only, all one sees are wonderfully cared for furbabies.
And if you play your cards right and choose to locate your salon in an upscale area you are really golden.
My shop is in a working town, but every day I see good hearted folks who love their pets as family members and it is all GOOD!

I would LOVE to be a marine biologist or marine ecologist when I am older. That would definitely be my absolute dream job :)

I should also specify that the dream dream is to be a cowboy :) (no not cowgirl, cowboy)! If I could leave everything that is what I would do

You and me both.

OMG YESSS!!! haha didn't even have to completely look at the video just saw "Toby Keith" and was like yup yup yup that's it! Literally that song I've listened too pretty much since I can remember talking and singing in the back seat of my parents car!
That song is one of the main reasons, but I don't mind the less than "glorified" stuff they do either.
You totally made my day!

I am a tour hostess and LOVE it. I also work security. It is kind of fun too. I only do fun gigs and Charger's games. During the summer I host foreign students.

Of course would love to be a zoo keeper. But have to pay the bills so that rules that out. Currently working as a telemetry tech in a hospital until I'm done with school.
