If you could change your career.....

Recommended Posts

what would you do? what do you currently do for a job?

I'm seriously thinking of getting in school to completely change my career and I have absolutely no idea what I want to do. I have been doing technology sales for about 6 years and am ready for something completely different. I was thinking of maybe the forensic stuff, that would be cool.

I just want a job that I enjoy and have finally gotten the motivation to get my ass in school.

I'm an interpreter for the deaf and teach sign language at the college. I love my job. It was the job I had before this one that caused me to go back to school and change my career. I'm glad I did. I love my job. Oh wait, I already said that.:S

I've had that choice forced on me several times now, most recently this September. In the past I always took whatever path led towards money and security.

I'm fully committed to the skydiving thing now, and voice-acting. Maybe even commercial acting, if anybody needs a middle aged X gamer. :ph34r::P

This time I'm going to have fun.

Office manager now. I have a dream of owning a day care center for pre-schoolers. But I would also like to add the elderly who aren't real ill but need care during the day or who are just plain lonely. I think being around the interaction between the two groups would be great for all of them.

I'm a student at the moment studying aerospace engineering. I absolutely love it and very well may pick up a mechanical engineering degree afterwards. If I had to change paths, I'd like to be one of those NTSB people who investigate aircraft crashes and find out what happened. It has always fascinated me how they can look at all this wreckage and determine what happened even without the voice recorder.

Currently I'm a Unix guy, in my next career I'd like to be a Columbian drug lord. Finally, I'd get to kill all the people who piss me off. I think it would be fun.

I'm a litigation paralegal right now (which can keep you very busy in CA - but not busy enough to keep me from PW on DZ.com ;)).

I would rather do any of the following:
1) Be a professional skydiver (Duh);
2) Own a doggie daycare;
3) Be independently wealthy and live in HI.

I'd like to be an engineer or a scientist of some sort. Science and engineering always fascinated me, but I'm not very good with math.

you don't have to be good with math to be an engineer, you just have to be good with differential equations. :P

I'm going to work on military satellites when I graduate which will be fun, but if I could pick anything I'd design/install smarthome and high-end home theatre systems

Be an architect. They get to design and create stuff, but without worrying about the petty details of whether it's feasible or not. ;)

I play poker for money right now. :$ I really wouldn't mind doing that the rest of my life if I knew I could make enough money doing so (which I can't). So yeah...if I had to change, it'd be cool to work at Conseco Fieldhouse as a gopher just running errands. ;)
