I would want to be a librarian I think. My official current title is Employment Specialist but I'm basically a social worker/case manager. I love my job but I feel like I've kind of stalled in terms of ability to move up the ladder just because of the set up working for the state. I'd need to move to advance. I'm probably going to go to law school starting in 2018. I took my LSATs and was going to apply for this fall before we got pregnant. But dream job would definitely be working in a library or running a book shop.
I would love to make pretty things, interior design, cake decorator, photographer. Unfortunately, I'm not that artistic. I'm crafty, but no where near the level of a business owner. I imagine those jobs are usually filled with positive pretty things.
@lilpoots being an archaeologists has always fascinated me. As a kid, I used to put two rocks together with a leaf inbetween them and bury it hoping I'd make a fossil for someone in the future to find.

All of y'all have real jobs you'd like to have and I'm feeling silly for mine lol. I would KILL to be the person who gets to set up tiny toys for pictures on the boxes. Not big ones. That's no fun. I want to get paid the big bucks to set up Polly Pockets. Bonus points if it's not for pictures and someone just really wants me to recreate the set up on the box. Have noooooo idea why.
My real job would be to do just about anything at any of the Holocaust museums.
@bridge-and-wall Thank you!! We don't want to uproot my stepson so I'm only going to apply for the University of Montana which is in the town we live in. At this point I'm mostly worried about going back to school a decade after I graduated college, and with a family this time. I'm not worried about getting in... My LSAT score was 20 points above the average for the U of M and I had good grades in college, have good recommendations... I'll stress about that later lol. Is there anything that stands out as *you should know this before starting or you'll learn it the hard way* kind of thing?
@wineren I would say you want to know that it really is a lot of work. I thought people were exaggerating. My biggest advice to deal with that is to treat it like a job. If you're going to school full time, spend all of your time between 8 and 5 either studying or in class. You can usually get all of your work done at the school this way. My friends with kids were very strict about keeping that schedule so that they could spend evenings and weekends with their kids. From what I heard, law school was actually a lot easier for the people who had taken time off and were used to working 40 hours or more per week.
Also, my law school did not allow us to have a job the first year or work more than 20 hours a week after that. You should look into U of M's policy if you want to work, because this one caught a few people off guard. I know these rules generally don't apply to part time programs.
@bridge-and-wall I know they don't want you to work at all the first year and they basically only want you do internships the next two. It will definitely be a change (I worked full time all through undergrad) but I know I'll be plenty busy with school. It's a good suggestion to try to keep everything like it's employment. The last thing I want to do is lose all my family time. I know at the U you can rent a study room for the semester - I went out of state for college but I grew up here and my dad worked on campus. I'll really have to look at options when I do start. A friend of mine was still trying to convince me to apply for this fall, saying I could just take a week off since I'd have more free time in school anyway. I laughed in her face.
@wineren Yeah. Don't start this fall. One of my classmates got the flu and missed a week and a half of class first semester. She was encouraged to drop out and try again later.
I just want to sit at the beach and make money. But since that's not gonna happen.. actually I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom. And I am one and I love it. It's amazing and I wouldn't trade it for the world. ❤️
One of them I do currently on the side, bridal and commercial makeup artist. I love it and wish it was consistent and profitable enough to be my whole gig.
Besides that, I love writing and travel, so being like a travel journalist or blogger would be awesome. I love design too, and I've always thought bridal gown design or interior design would be so fun.
With having little kids though, not gonna lie, my current dream is being home a lot more and working a fun, low responsibility cutesy part time job just to have a little adult time each week.
@LuckyPenny1231 I love animals, but I could never be a vet. I think seeing them in pain or having to put one down would be way too hard. I can't even watch sad dog movies. I watched Marley and Me once and end up holding my dogs crying and telling them how much they mean to me for like the rest of the day.
@Ae_Lovely321 I shadowed for a vet tech position at a local vet hospital. I really enjoyed it and I'm a huge animal lover. The hardest part for me, which made me decide not to go that route was the owners. You have to deal with people who refuse to do what's right for their animals and sometimes it's because they simply can't afford it. I originally went to college for child psychology and couldn't do that either, because of the parents.

I also used to want to be a vet but I hate science and math so that was out!
