My dream job would be a spa critic. Travel around the world visiting different spas and getting all the treatments. Once when I was working at the Parker in Palm Springs one of my clients told me he worked for a magazine that did just that. I was like ... this is a legit job?! For reals.

I have my dream job - being a mother. I always wanted to be a mother. Money jobs didn't excite me as much as being a mother. So when I got pregnant with my first, what did I do? I melted down and said "I'm not ready"

If I had to pick a monetary job . . . .probably something in the graphic art industry, I just don't know what.

I thought it would be fun to be a midwife. Seriously considered it a few years ago and then I decided I didn't want to be responsible if something went wrong and it fell back on me. I'll let someone else do it and just enjoy the beauty of birth from afar!

How do you call those people who travel and make videos about a particular tourist destination? That's my dream job like a travel leisure/vacation journalist

I am currently a teacher, which is pretty much my dream job, but if I wasn't one, I would want to be a midwife or a librarian (or both!).

The first thing that popped into my head was something like Becky Higgins or Heidi Swapp.

A traveling international photojournalist by day, a singer-songwriter by night who only performs in small clubs and other intimate venues. Not that I’ve thought about this before...

In some ways being an author and writing fiction would be my dream job, but it's not something I'd ever seriously pursue or be good at. I'll let you know if I ever figure it out!

My future DIL is a labor and delivery nurse and she loves it.

I am really happy with both my jobs, production planner and digital designer, but if I could be anything, I would be a surface designer. I love patterns and fabric.

This is what I have been trying to figure out the past year. I am not really sure. My boss told me on Friday that I missed my calling as a writer. I said maybe I haven't... it isn't as though I can't start writing now.

I was a digi-designer for several years and thoroughly loved it. However, I firmly believe that I have adult ADD and I struggled so much to stay focused when I designed. I would either flit from one thing to another taking forever to finish a kit, or I would hyper-focus on it and hole myself up in my office for so long that I felt like I was ignoring my family. It didn't help that while I was designing my children were young (I started before the youngest was 6 months old). Therefore any time away from them made me feel I was ignoring them.

I took my present job when my youngest started kindergarten. Rather, I took a position at the school I currently work at. I started part time with the intention of designing part time and working part time since the kids were both in school full time. A new position opened up and I was asked to take it. I have been doing that since, this is my 7th year with the school district and my 5th as technology support. As a mom, the hours are great! I work when my kids are in school. There are a few in-service days a year that I work when the kids are not in school, but at 12 and 15 they are old enough to survive at home. I also have 3 months off every summer.

However... I still struggle with trying to figure out what I REALLY want to do! I still very much love design, I love photography, I love writing, etc. Basically I really love creative outlets. Thankfully my job allows me to be creative far more than I could have anticipated. The guy who held the position before me does not have a creative bone in is body. He is extremely left-brained. I worried going in that I wouldn't be able to nurture my creative side. It turned out that I worried for nothing though. Being a creative soul working in a school... well, I have a lot of opportunity to take on creative projects unrelated to the technical side of my job. My boss loves finding new projects for me to take on. I use Photoshop at work more than I do at home these days!
