What job or career would you aim for if you could do ANYTHING?

[BleaketyBleak]

Posting as think it might be an interesting discussion, and keen to hear ideas I may not have though of.

I need something to aim for and throw myself into to distract away from health problems and infertility. (My health means plenty of jobs are unsuitable for me personally, but still would enjoy reading about other people's ambitions and adventures)

What would you do if you were free to do anything?

Sorry about your health issues.

I'm far too old to change careers now but twenty years as a foster Carer has made me realise I would have loved to join the police force and work in child protection.

Jewellery maker

I would love to be a train conductor. Too old now I'm afraid 😨

Pilot, something in medicine or forensics.

I'm not clever enough to do it though.

Travel blogger - not very practical with dc though!

Gardener

Sports journalism. Realistically I was never good enough at writing & as a single parent to 2 x under 10's windy evenings at league 2 grounds wouldn't be practical but hearing/reading/seeing increasing numbers of women - Radio 5 in particular is wonderful.
But that would be the dream.

I really like the idea of being a paramedic, but I'm not very good with blood and really don't think I could stomach broken bones and such.

Otherwise I also would like to be a flight attendant.

In the real world I work in an office. Boring.

Interesting....am just browsing PPL courses....always wanted to learn to fly....am early retired now...would do it just for the fun of it really....far too expensive and hard to take it further....i struggle with the geometry aspect etc....

I would love to be a party planner, it looks like so much fun and I love organising friends and families parties. It doesn’t pay as well as my current job and I’ve worked too hard to get where I am but if we ever win the lottery or my husbands salary triples I might just do it.

Relationship counsellor, I think

I do marketing and support business growth. I actually love my job. If I had tons of money I would choose to work with a greater range of companies. I love helping small business but can't do as much of this as I like as I need money, so work more with cash rich companies. I love to champion independent business and find it very exciting and rewarding.

Midwife.

I would work on film sets in some sort of production assistant role. I would absolutely love to see how things work behind the scenes and I would enjoy the variety, the travel and being on my feet instead of behind a desk.

Sadly the money and the fact I have small children make it totally unrealistic for me!

Musician

Doctor or clothes designer/maker. Maybe a couple of days of each a week? 😂 In reality am in similar position as struggling a lot with the very part time job I have due to health issues and also unable to have children..so I empathise..it's a difficult place to be xx

Cardiothoracic surgeon

Wildlife camera operator travelling the world filming awesome creatures and meeting my hero Sir David Attenborough

I would love to work as a buyer for a toy store/ gift shop/ high end retail.

Composer of classical music, a calling for which I have zero ability and zero experience!

Michelin star Inspector, eating at fine restaurants.

Clinical Psychologist
Forensic mental health nurse
Something using Criminology
Cabin Crew for long haul airline

Be a TV historian, museum curator, archaeologist or author, or, better still, an aggregation of all of those things!

Indiana Jones’ assistant
