I just got the opportunity to do graphic design for my father-in-law's newspaper & I LOVE it!! Doing something with graphic design has always been a dream but hard to do without a degree in it. I am lucky to have been given the chance!

My dream job would be an archeologist on a dig somewhere that isn't desert and bug filled.

I love ancient history and would LOVE to be around an area where I could experience it first hand.

I would love to be an editor. I love to read and I am very good at catching grammar mistakes. It's my passion.

I've always dreamed about being a lawyer. I just love the law and all the different areas about it.

I wanted to be an actress. Because it would pay my bills

Or an author/illustrator.

Or a high school math teacher.

Now my dream job is to work in Labor and Delivery.

Honestly, I want to be a SAHM and have a small farm. Aside from that, I'd love to be a lawyer.

I love alpacas! So soft. My Dad is a day lily breeder. He doesn't make a living from it but he is REALLY into it (I think he even registered a few) and goes down and helps his buddy on his day lily farm in Florida. I have a ton in my yard that were given to me by him.

My original dream job was to be a translator - I am one and it is boring.

My new dream job is to be a market gardener. I am working really hard to be able to make at least a decent part-time income from it within the next few years. This will be our second year selling at the market.

I love being outdoors all day and I love playing in the dirt. I also love that you don't have to be exact when you grow things. You can screw a whole lot of stuff up and still have lots of delicious food and lots of beautiful flowers. I also like going to market because I enjoy sales and am good at it.

My dream job is a stay at home mom. I've been a work at home mom since Jackson was born (August 2007) and I hate it. I'm very blessed that I'm able to have a job that's so flexible that I can work from home, but I can't wait until we can afford for me to quit.

Mine was and I guess to an extent still is to work in emergency medicine. I was working as an EMT when I met my DH (he is a paramedic). But we (I quit this past December) work for the most God-awful agency ever and we both have been screwed so bad it's not even funny.... Maybe one day I will work in the field again, but no time soon.

Something I could do from home and not for 8 hrs straight at a time (e.g. flexibility to do it at 10pm at night after kids go to bed if I feel like it).

I am looking into seeing if I could become a part-time accountant, and what it pays....if I could get 2-3 small companies where I don't have to be on-site, that would be ideal and still be using my schooling. I used to work at a large accounting firm, and I used to audit companies.....lots of smaller companies do this as its more cost effective....hoping to find a few in my area once I'm ready to come back to work after mat leave!

(x posted from the Marriage board....this question was recently asked on there!)

We have such a range and variety of interests here!

I enjoy being a teacher. For a long time I thought I would rather do spiritual teaching / healing or running a spiritual shop, but the way businesses struggle in the current climate I think I have changed my mind. The only other thing I know I'd really enjoy would be being a SAHM and doing odd bits of writing and angel readings for people to up my income a little - which I did before I went on supply teaching.

Occupational therapist for kids. I'd especially like to work in the early intervention program.

I basically have my dream job as a photographer, but I want to specialize it even more (so only babies, boudoir, and seniors, with a few weddings here & there. No families except for a couple family shots during newborn sessions, no toddlers/kids/etc. Just babies, boudoir, and seniors). I also want it to pay the bills better

I actually really like my job and feel quite fulfilled. However, if money wasn't an object, I would love to own a little bakery/coffee shop. Baking is my passion and therapy, but I just couldn't make nearly the living that I do with my current job.

I've always wanted my own cake shop. I love decorating cakes, and I DO do it out of my home, but it's really hard to profit when you are paying full prices for product and everyone wanting a deal. Owning my own bakery would be a dream... but so would having the opportunity to become a SAHM.
