Can't decide what to do and as I can't get a job as a midwife am looking for ideas.

So far been a tram driver appeals. Do not want to work in an office.

If I was young enough to re-train, I'd go for the job of Occupational Therapist... especially working with the elderly.

I've been doing job matching for the NHS for the past couple of years. This involves reading all the job descriptions of every post going. OT was way the best I thought.

MamaG · 04/07/2007 12:28

I'd own and run a book shop that sold tea and coffee adn home made cakes too

or be a paramedic
or a police officer
or anybody who gets to drive a nee-naw

I've always fancied being a florist.

OrmIrian · 04/07/2007 12:50

Florist is mine geordiesmum!!! I've always wanted to do it. I've wanted to do it for years and years. I've wanted to do it ever since I was a little girl...... I have I have I have!

Doula might be good. Delivery driver but only if I got to drive to lovely places with no traffic and be allowed to come home every night in time for dinner and bed.

Don't expect I will though.

deaconblue · 04/07/2007 15:08

I always fancied being a BBC researcher. Have no idea how one becomes one tho. Or a wedding/party planner - how fab would it be to spend someone else's money organising glamorous events???

Nip · 04/07/2007 15:10

I have always wanted to be in event management! Never really pushed myself to look too far into it as i'm scared of having no job!
I'll jump when pushed!

Not sure how you get into that though..

BBBleedingGumsMurphy · 04/07/2007 15:14

I would be an educational psychologist.

francagoestohollywood · 04/07/2007 15:18

I would have loved to be a bbc researcher . And a midwife. And a doctor. Or just had the guts to become a historian, as I had planned years ago.

nailpolish · 04/07/2007 15:18

barmaid

paolosgirl · 04/07/2007 15:21

A midwife - sadly can't afford to retrain

There's a new website called Yourjob4myjob - a job exchange website - I'm going to put my details on it, in case anyone fancies being a NHS information officer!

aDad · 04/07/2007 15:23

underwater photographer

combines 2 things I love

BBBleedingGumsMurphy · 04/07/2007 15:24

no but worked for the BBC and main point of contact for me was one of the researchers and he had a hell of a time and alwyas seemed under loads of pressure.

meowmix · 04/07/2007 15:27

event manager is an awful job, very stressful and full of difficult people.

I quite fancy being a radio announcer for Radio 4. "And here is the news... and now over to Ambridge..."

ThomCat · 04/07/2007 15:28

A photographer.

orrrr something to do with signing.

orrr a yoga teacher or some kind of healer of some description

Or I'd own my own shop and fill it with lovely things from around the world and I'd have to keep jetting off to source lovley things to sell in my pretty little shop.

Or a scuba diver teacher
