JFF: What does everybody do?

Current: I work at AT&T in the call center. I've been here for 7 years. I could care less about the job, but I have lots of vacation, seniority, great benefits and the perfect schedule. Makes it hard to leave.
Dream: If I could do anything, I'd go back to school to be an RN. It's not in the budget right now, but hopefully at some point.
So what about you?? What is your current job and what job would you want if you could do anything?

Re: JFF: What does everybody do?
Dream: Something in the music industry - producer, roadie, backup singer, I don't care. I am happy when there is music and would love to spend my day with it.
Dream: Travel writer, music producer, NASA meteorologist, the list goes on and on.
Dream: Stay at home mom (at least while my babes are little). But unfortunately that's not an option for our family right now. My DD is 15 months old and it still breaks my heart to leave her every day. I don't know how I'm going to leave two once this LO arrives!
Alternate dream: if I had to work I'd love to be able to go back to school and be a midwife (CNM). Oh how I wish I could go back in time and tell that to my younger self.

I will mostly stay home when LO comes. And keep writing. Hopefully I'll be able to tutor a few times a week, too, bc I love it and it's great money. And that sounds dreamy to me.
Dream: opera singer or Broadway star! I love to perform. I would even settle for singer/ song writer, but I'd be famous bitches!
Current: I'm an actuary for an insurance company. Yay math?
Dream job: I would love to be a stay at home mom. Maybe send him to daycare once or twice a week so that I can create stuff to sell. I like sewing and have pinned so many things on pinterest that I would like to sew or make if I ever get the time.

Dream job: grade school teacher
Dream: still figuring it out, but some days I think I would love to own by own small business
Dream: stay at home mom, after this one is born and while my (future) kids are little. Once they're in school, I'd love to get back into the nonprofit world, something with travel as part of the job description!
DD born Oct 2014 via C-Section (footling breech)
Baby #2 (AND #3...SURPRISE!) Due Nov 17, 2016. Found out it was twins at 18+5!
Current: Assistant to a big wig at a bank. We are like the Wizard of Oz, where my boss is a face on a curtain and I do most of the work. Oops, did I say that out loud?
Dream: Uniform designer for the NFL or NHL.
I'm a RN.
Dream job? Real Estate, flip homes.

My dream has always been to be a stay at home mom. Luckily it's one DH shares for me and this baby couldn't be coming at a better time, so I'll be leaving my job to take care of baby.
My dream for an outside the house job would be something with math, but I haven't done enough research to know what.
MY DREAM JOB: Stay at home mom...So jealous of those that are able to stay at home with their children!!
Maybe I'll win the lotto this week and I'll be able to live my dream
Current: Financial analyst at a hedge fund for the past 8 years. Feels like I've been here forever.
Dream: SAHM...but with the cost of everything in this area, it's just not possible...unless DH gets a HUGE raise!
Alternate Dream: I want to play with puppies all day, can that be a real job? I'd also like to be a video game tester.

Dream: I wouldn't want to do anything but SAH while my kids are little. If kiddos and DH could come with me, I'd love to be a travel/food writer. Once our kids are in school I'd like to work in higher education student affairs.

It really depends what you do, I usually work 8-5:30 or 6, and no weekends...but my superiors work longer hours. I mostly manage all the accounts for a certain group of traders (reconciling accounts, calculating P&L, and things of that nature), and I also do some work in derivative confirmation and settlements. Maybe the title they gave me isn't exactly fitting, but they don't really know what else to call us, haha.
My dream job: Once we're done with this whole Navy business, I want to run a preschool/day care from home. I don't want it to be "watching children in my home" but instead really want to convert a walk out basement into a preschool setting. I absolutely love teaching young children! It's been my dream for awhile now, and I just have to wait a few more years to finally have it!

Dream job: Do what I am doing now. Maybe at least one more kiddo to the family. I would also love some adult interaction during the week. When H gets home I want to chat with him and he just wants to veg out.
Dream job: either a forensic pathologist or an epidemiologist working for WHO traveling
to remote locations throughout the world discovering new diseases and stuff. I actually went back to school and was working head on towards premed, but when I really started examining my priorities, I decided if I had a choice between being a Dr or a mommy, I would rather be a mommy. So, I quit premed, took a 2nd job to save up for another round of IVF and now I'm working on my BSN.
Current: I am a Collections Officer. It's okay... I will be a SAHM when LO gets here.
Dream Job: To be a psychologist specializing in PTSD Research with the VA
