what would you do (work wise) if you could choose over?

| I would have loved to be a vet, but sadly I didn't push myself to do it.
More recently I wanted to be a wedding planner but there really isn't a big market for it in the UK. Maybe in a few more years |
When I was young, I wanted to be a vet and even had the local vet promise me a position once I got out of school. As I got older, grew in my faith, and just blossomed ...there was nothing in the world I wanted to do more than be the soccer mom that I am today. Sounds cheesy I'm sure, but it's true. It was along with the job, which it is, of being an officer's wife who was in charge of organizing functions and taking care of other wives. I've had that role, and it will be sad to let it go in the coming months, but I look forward to having more time to take my growing kids to their soccer games.  |
| Jo, there's no more important job than raising your children! Someone here uses that with their name tag. It is so true. Daily I see the psychological damage caused by children who lack parental interaction....whether by choice or some interfering factor.
There is plenty to keep a soccer mom active beyond home, children and then school. (like there's any free time after those 3) Since retiring I'm amazed just how much need there is for volunteers! I'm sure you'll find a new niche once you retire from being an officer's wife. |
| I'd have married better and done nothing. Nothing's always been a dream of mine. |
| accounting for me. |
Jill you crack me up  So honest and well put. I'd love to watch and play with dogs all day long. But, I'd want someone else to do the cleaning |

I've thought about this too. Been married twice, and both times for love. What was I thinking? I'd love to be one of those ladies in Scottsdale who lunches and shops. Alas, I'm probably a bit too independent to be a trophy wife. So, if I could do it all over again I'd love to have a travel/food show on Travel Channel or Food Network. |

I'd have been a doctor of some sort. Or a lawyer. My mother could never decide which. |

You're still young. You can work on making James a better catch! My childhood dream jobs were marine biologist and National Geographic photojournalist. I suck at math and science, so #1 was out... I would love to own an awesome clothing store. Or a clothing/coffee bar...something like that. |

Lets DO lunch, shop, tea at the Ritz, shop some more and then have sheepie play dates!  oh, we do that already.....I guess im okay then...hmmm...whouda thought that  |
| I think I would have concentrated more on entertainment. I hosted my own tv show in college and was pushed to get my SAG card and go to some auditions but didn't really think that was a "responsible" thing to do. |
| If I had my career to do over again I would like to be a surgeon, or an architect. As a hobby I would like to have a pilot's license. |
Great thread - I would of been a professional 2 man volleyball player (only I'm a girl) and I would of started playing in high school not when I was 29 years old. I love the sport  Now I would like to take in all abused animals and not have to work at my job |

I'd never worry about running out things to do if I didn't have to worry about supporting myself. If I had to work, I'd be on SNL, which, from what I understand is one of the hardest working, fast paced shows to be on so it's about as far from doing nothing as you can get! |

You and Mandy together on SNL I can see the grooming sketch now |
| There's only so much armpit sniffing one can do in a lifetime. |
| i was going to be a civil engineer works as one durring the summers studied at uni
didn't finish my degree but i have a certificate of higher education in civil engineering. but i have got married had my son and i don't really miss being at work. being at home with my two year old tantrums and all is so much better. i think i'll go back to school finish my degree but one "love you mommy". and i think it can wait a few more years. so i will probably never get round to it. but my education will not go to waste i can help my son with his schooling and be proud of my greatest achievment when he make his own way happy. zoe and einy |
| I've wanted to do so many different things, and it seems that I always wind up doing the things I swore I never would: I've been a waitress (more or less), secretary, stay at home mom, pre-school ed. aid, lab tech.
When I first went off to university, I planned to finish and go to med school. Family issues pushed that aside and I ended up leaving university and following my (soon to be) husband to another state where he attended grad school. Plan was that after I was there for a year to establish residency, I'd go to school evenings while working days (or other way around, if need be) but we unexpectedly were expecting and I decided I couldn't be a good mother, a good student, and work a full time job, so I postponed school A few more kids and I decided med school simply wasn't in the cards. The plan was that I'd be a doctor and sometime in my 50's I should be able to cut back on my practice and devote more time to writing and painting. I'm in my 50's with a minimum of 5 more years before I can cut back and devote some time to painting and writing. If I could start over, I'd spend more time on that side of me. At work, a guy was talking about his neighbor whose mother drives a couple of hours over each week, stays with the family to help out with the kids and drives back home for the weekend. I have give up all hope of having grandkids, but let me tell you, the idea made me soooo jealous. I'd do that. Oh, if I could have any talent that I don't actually have, I'd be able to sing well: I'd be a torch singer in some night club. |
| I want to be a Red Arrow !
http://www.raf.mod.uk/reds/ Failing that I would like to be a clairvoyant. Controversial I know, but it's something I'm training for now, so maybe in a few years. |
| I wish I could be a philanthropist but I guess it would be a good idea to have a lot of money first.
Except for being a workaholic, I'm pretty content being a graphic designer, although I certainly wouldn't mind doing without the crazy deadlines. My career is shifting again right now. I just took a full time position with one of my clients who is a manufacturer of home & bath products. The bonus is that they have decided to go into pet products and I am on the product development & design team. |

Do we get to be test subjects? |
| I am a "stay at home mom". Like that really means I stay at home.
I always wanted to be a successful artist, so I am working on getting my stuff together. Sheepdogs are the "perfect" subject for me. I am really enjoying my drawing again. |

| I want to be queen of my domain, all male uprights in the house listen to me, more feminine in my attitude would be great as long as I don't have to give up my dirt bike and gear and wear high heels.
I am happy with who I am and what I have done, I don't think I would want to change anything. I AM who I AM. 
Oh and I love my Ugg boots & Traky Daks in Winter, NO ONE can take them away from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
