Dream jobs - changing through the years.

[waltzingparrot]

What did you want to be as a child? What do/did you do and if you could change to your dream job tomorrow, what would you choose?

I'm guessing someone will have the same three answers for all stages of life.

Mine are

Child: Film Make up artist
Career: Tourism Marketing Manager
Dream: Jewellery maker

Child: actress
Career: office job (don't want to be outing)
Dream: creative career

If I could have my time again I'd follow my dreams and not waste my life having DC's.

Child : Working in sweet shop
Career : Banking
Dream : Retire! Else some minimal childcare.

Child: Geography teacher
Career: Geography teacher
Dream: anything other than teacher...preferably furniture restorer/upcycler

I did try and get into the job I wanted as a child but failed the required A level subject grades and just wrote the idea off. Now with age and wisdom I know I should have given it another go.

Child: ballerina
Career: occupational therapist (in-training)
Dream: illustrator or baker, definitely something creative

It's interesting that most of us would switch to a creative job if we could.

Child: teacher
Now: insurance (bleugh!) ((altho this is changing soon!))
Dream: tattooist / funeral director

Child: Air Stewardess
Career: varied but currently administrator in a high school
Dream: Counsellor
