What did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a teacher, until my Stepmum pointed out that I would really need to love children if I wanted to, otherwise I would be with children all day at work and then at home if I were to have my own! Looking back through my school notes I then went through a stage of wanting to be a journalist. Then, when I started working as an office junior, I thought I would quite like to be an aromatherapist. I took a step to making this happen in taking a basic diploma in aromatherapy and physiology but life circumstances at the time meant this didn't go any further.
Even now, approaching my 30s, I still don't know what my dream job is or what I want to do! Over the last few years I've thought that if money were no object I'd like to properly train as an aromatherapist and some other complementary therapies and have my own centre offering these treatments.
And recently, I've been thinking how lovely it would be to have my own rescue shelter for various animals, although we seem to be working towards that one! For now though, I'm plodding away in my current office job .
What would be your dream job? And what do you currently do?

I wanted to be a judge but my mum said I couldn't because, I quote 'I'd be letter bombed'. At the age of ten. That still makes me laugh. Other things I fancied included vet (I'm allergic to most animals), horse stud owner, hotel owner, costume designer, animator, graphic designer, film director and writer. I'm now a freelance artist, mother and property developer, so kinda all of the above but without stallions...
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post!
ReplyDeleteI own an online Fabric & Craft shop. Sounds great and in many ways it is but I've realised its not just the job but how much flexibility the job gives you to do other things you like doing. So my dream job would be...........doing this but with with 6 more hours in every working day so I could sew things to sell too!
