  Dream job Reply Contact Since I was 12 I've always wanted to be a jockey. I have always loved horses though for as long as I can remember. Today I found out that I can actually go to school to become a jockey. And the school is only only like an hour and a half away!! So in 2 years I will be trying to attend this school. Samantha will be in all day kindergarden by then. I so can not wait!! I am excited even though it will be 2 years before I can do this. But by then I should have the tuition and be at the right weight for riding. So guys what is your dream job or are you lucky and already working it?  Kimberly

  Re: Dream job Reply Contact My dream job is to be an RN. I'm not sure what division of the hospital I'd like to work in but I just know I want to be a nurse so bad I can feel it.   Right now I work at a doctors office and connot currently afford going to school, as I support myself. One day, *sigh* I will go back to school...one day.... -Ellen The dog is a gentlman. I hope to go to his heaven. Not Man's. -Mark Twain

  Re: Dream job Reply Contact  My dream job is to be working in a vet's office. And I'm going to school in September to make it happen. Neat idea for a thread.  ~Kitty Rest In Peace Crombie.

  Re: Dream job Reply Contact My DREAM job? Stay-at-home-mom. (this is where I get flack, lol) Realistically, tho, I'll have to work and that's why I'm an elementary ed. major. I love love LOVE working with elementary school age kids and plan on getting a masters in Special Ed once I get my Elementary Ed degree. I'm going to need to work, a little, if I ever want to pay off my student debts. For those who want to go back to school, but can't afford it, there are LOTS of financial aide programs, especially in fields like nursing.

  Re: Dream job Reply Contact I've always loved doing things with animals and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.  I suppose my dream of dreams would be to work at the Cheetah Conservatory in Namibia.  Cheetahs are my favorite animal and Namibia is one of the most awesome places on earth.  DH is a teacher and we have always talked about moving to Africa so he can teach there.  If/when that happens, I'd probably be a stay-at-home mom or possibly do work in my field (like marketing/communications for a non-profit).  We were going to join a program right away, but now we have so many pets, I can't leave them behind and it's not practical to take them along so this will be something we do when our future kids are older and current furkids have passed. Realistically, the things I love don't pay the bills, so I am happy just having a job that offers enough benefits for us to live comfortably and for me to do what I love on my spare time (photography and training and competing with dogs).  The things I've done lately that have made me feel the most accomplished are things I never got paid for (photographing wedding, designing web sites, volunteering at the shelter, helping the GSD rescues...).  vankelderdogs.dutchbingo.net U-CH Alta-Tollhaus-Krieger Lamb Chop RA CL1-F CL1-R TT HIC TDI CGC (GSD) VPC's Coca-Cola CGC (All American) Alta-Tollhaus' Bono (GSD)

  Re: Dream job Reply Contact I'm not sure what my dream job is. If I were, I'd be working towards it. But I'm so conflicted. I'd really like to do something that would allow me to travel a lot, raise my own future kids (not necessarily a stay-at-home-mom, but I can't see myself having kids if they're just gonna be at daycare, school, or with a nanny 50 hours a week), and have a lot of dogs. But the only real dream job I have is to run my own animal rescue/sancturary. And clearly that's not compatible with a lot of travel, or a lot of time with my own family, so..I don't know. Maybe I could settle for working for a rescue. I have a lot of possible careers in my head, but the only thing I can actually see myself doing long-term is something with dogs, and more specifically, something helping rescue and shelter dogs.

  Re: Dream job Reply Contact Can I second the stay at home mom, dream?  We already know that DH will be the stay at home parent, when we decide to have kids.  It's a much better decision, financially, to have him stay at home, & me work. Realistically, I would love to be a social worker.  Preferably working with child protective services.  Unfortunately, as much as I would love to spend my days trying to help kids, I know that it is only a dream.

  Re: Dream job Reply Contact kle- that is so funny, because when i was really young i wanted to be a jockey. It's actually hilarious because i'm like 5' 6. I'm not sure what my dream job is...i really like farming, and i think it would be cool to be a k9 cop. Ideally, i would like to do something with horses or dogs (but not be a vet!)  I will be an RN in December, and i'm pretty excited about it, but i wouldn't call it my dream job.  Eat, drink, and be merry...for tomorrow we die..." - Dave Matthews Band Megan
