What would be your ideal job if you could wave a magic wand and make it so?

[mouse4702]

Or maybe you are doing it?  Following on from a post on here about "finding your vocation", I wonder if any - or all - of us have found ours yet?

[saasher2012]

Make him go Ed ! Enjoy each other while your both young enough to appreciate it! lol

[saasher2012]

Hmmmm! Interesting.

My only ambition was to get married and have a BABY!!!  which is what I did.

Doesn't sound very glamorous or exciting but it suited me, and even if I say so myself, I think I made a bl**dy good job of it!!

[myraandjim]

first of all I wanted to go to Uni and study law, parents said I had to go out and earn money as I had been a drain on the finances for long enough. Then I wanted to join the Wrens but parents refused that as well. In the end I married young and had children and gave up on ambition. I'm retired now so it's too late, but it's great to see my children and their partners being free to follow dreams.

One I've wanted to do for more years than I care to remember is own a wool shop.  I would have loved that.

[saasher2012]

I think I would have liked to be involved with the raising of The Tudor shipThe Mary Rose I've always loved anything to do with Archeology, fascinating ! & likewise love any prog on Forensic pathology , & watched spellbound waking the dead.

One of my cousins has a son who has an archaelogy degree.  Adam goes all over the country digging in fields and he's even been over to Southern Ireland on a few digs.  He really loves his job.

Ed, what is with OH's? I want to go to USA to see my pal, who I have never met, but he won't go!!!! He says we'll go when we retire, but he doesnt mean it

[saasher2012]

Oooo how interesting it's nice in this day & age when you get paid for doing something that you love doing, has he found anything
Interesting like something that has puzzled them but the new findings have answered it?

[captainbovine]

I thought I'd found a flint arrow head on the beach here, it would have belonged to the settlement on the Orme, but alas I was told it was just a stone that had shaped into the same form as the arrow head. I was so disappointed!!!!!

[fishpieface]

I'm doing the job I love and my only regret is not doing it sooner.  I've been

doing it over 25 years now and have seen some places and met some

people in that time.  I wouldn't choose to change it even though the pay

is awful, considering what we do.

Dear Fishy, curiosity - how did you get into coach driving in the first place? I would say I was  a good driver but no way could I have the confidence to drive a coach 

[rose2008-2008]

I also love programmes on Criminal Pathology or Criminal Phsyciatrist things, Forensics. But i think if i actually did it it would be too emotional for me to cope.

Someone mentioned it above and im also thinking only recently how i would love to be a Farmers Wife ha ha .LOL. 

[saasher2012]

I'm not making any comment Rose! lol.

[rose2008-2008]

Come on Saasher you want to say something??,LOOOL,,,LOL. SAY IT what??. Go on im not gonna bite yer!!.

[ed_blackadder_1]

A guy that used to work with me, went off to be a forensic photographer for the police, don't know if I could do that,

[rainydaywoman11]

Sam - something horticultural?

[bitsnknots]

Hi Carol.  How ya doing?

[saasher2012]

I was alluding to the Farmers wife,lol. Not something you should be envious of, yes it's lovely to be out in the countryside & I do miss it, but getting up at at first light & coming in when it's dark every day of the year in all weathers, no holidays or days off, it's definitely not for the faint hearted!. It's a way of life that you choose like any other.

[rainydaywoman11]

No way could I be a farmer's wife, it is very hard work, I've lived very close to 2 and saw what they did.  One of them will be lambing now, Dod.  One day his coos escaped and galloped through the gardens, Lordy what a mess.  Went right through my (low) fence.

*** waves to Chris *** - Och I'm ok, just a bit blue today.  Good part - I spoke with my lovely son (he's in Oz), I always try SO hard not to cry - and I always do, lol.  Working like a maniac, painting with hammerite, which is quite easy but very boring, my table and chairs are looking good though.  What are you up to?  Knitting like a maniac  How's your Mum?
