If you had a job and had the chance to quit and do something you really wanted without the constraints of money or benefits...what would you do???

Date: 4/11/12 4:10 PM That's easy for me; I'd do music (take lessons, practice, perform, maybe teach a little). And to keep the other parts of my brain engaged, I'd do some editing or writing, too. |

Date: 4/11/12 4:40 PM Honestly? I'd like to be a math teacher ... I've tried two years in a row now, and not even an interview. (I work in industry - have both B.S. and M.S. in math). I'll keep trying though! ------ Tina

Date: 4/11/12 5:18 PM Well, being retired I guess you could say I'm doing it... I read What Color is Your Parachute a while back, after a downsizing of my company. I took the test and it said I was an entrepreneur. That's what launched me into having my own business, and that was so much fun! ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature.

Date: 4/11/12 7:14 PM Tina, wow, you'd be scooped up in a second around here. We are desperate for Math teachers.
I would be a home maker if I had my way. For a job that's outside of the home, I would like to be a nurse - an LPN. Not possible now though. I'd have to put aside not only tuition, but the same amount of money I'm bringing home now for the whole 18 -24 month program! Not happening. ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE

Date: 4/11/12 8:12 PM Hmm...interesting topic.
I really like my job...but...let's see...forest ranger (or working in the national parks) as in, "hi, where are you folks from? let me tell you about the area," which I kind of do anyway when people visit Colorado.
or...I thought I'd like to be an event planner at one time, until I talked with an actual event planner and decided it wasn't for me
or...novelist (what I wanted to be as a kid
or...of course, something to do with sewing/fabric -- Edited on 4/11/12 8:13 PM -- |
