Re: Dream Job
Great stories Besoker and Realspeed. There is nothing more satisfying to read about that someone who has become self-made.
So far:
Business owner: Bought my university's most popular college bar with my brother when we were working on our business degrees. Dream job? Hardly
.
Statistician: No one dreams of being a mathematician for a living. Why did I? Nerd city. Dream job? Ummm...nope.
Educator: Nothing better than teaching young minds, especially those in low socioeconomic areas. From Hawai'i to Kansas, I loved every minute of it. Dream job? Only if having a personal life is unimportant. If you are doing the job properly, it means 60+ hours a week because the work matters so terribly much. God bless Rhian
.
Editor, educator, mentor astrophysics: Nothing better than looking at the stars, wondering what is out there, and then putting all of these beautiful numbers and algorithms to suppositions to find locks falling open exquisitely. Had I to do it over again, I would have stayed in Hawai'i in my early years and made a career of it. Dream job? You betcha
.
Mom: The best, worst, most low-paying, most richly rewarding job there is. I worked really hard to "earn" the position, but I realize now that the shareholders are eternally demanding and don't let you retire. Ever.
Dream job? Yes, and nightmare too
