Re: GTKY - What do you do?
1. I'm an Editor at a greeting card company.
2. I'm sick of my job. I need to do something that contributes to the greater good. DH and I have agreed that I will be a SAHM when the time comes. I hope to get my Masters in social work during this time--and look for something in that field when our kids are all over 3.
ETA: I'd also love to go back to school for interior design, but I don't know if that's the best field for a Clevelander to go into.
1. I am a clinical laboratory scientist at a small hospital (22 beds). I love my job, don't get me wrong, but I swear if I hear one more person call me a vampire or a blood sucker and think they are being clever, I will scream. It's not an orginal joke and you are not clever and it's very hard to force a laugh when you are hearing the exact same joke for the 30th time today. Sorry. Rant over
2. My dream job would be anything that involves planning. I love to plan....wedding planner, organizer...any of that!

2. While I really live my career path, I would love to be a SAHM and garden and bake and craft and make things all day. I'm sure the reality isn't nearly as idealic as it is in my head though.

1. I'm in PR
2. I really can't see myself doing anything else and I love what I do. That said, some day I'd love to work for a company that I am truly passionate about. I can't imagine anything better than being paid to promote what you already love. Currently I work for a PR agency and while some clients are fun and interesting, others aren't as much.

Just keep swimming.
1. I work for the Assessor-County Clerk-Recorders office. I deal mainly with property valuation (correcting the appraisers errors lol). Through my job I am also a Deputy Commissioner of Civil Marriages. I actually like my job, and the people I work with but this isn't what I want to do for the next 30-40yrs.
2. Dream job would be a physical therapist and/or a prosthetist.
1) I am a Physician Assistant at an adolescent clinic. I do love my job, but it is difficult to deal with the teen pregnancy aspect while dealing with TTCAL.
2) I don't really have a dream job. If I could do anything, I wish I was creative enough to be a photographer.

I currently work at a Montessori preschool for my mother-In-law. I've been working there since 2004 and it's a good job.

In an ideal world I'd volunteer or work part time and be a SAHM the rest of the time. I'm pretty sure this will never happen

Next month I am leaving my job and getting my real estate license.
2. In a perfect world, I would be a SAHM and I would own a wedding planning business that allowed me to have a home office.
