What would you be.....

[Gayle]

.....if you didn't do the job that you did?

In an attempt to lighten the mood somewhat from the tone of late.

We all had these dreams when we were younger - I'm not just talking about the ballerina, footballer ones - but the more realistic ones.

For a long while I wanted to be a vet - until I was told they have to study for seven years!!!!!

Then i wanted to be a social worker - but was told I couldn't start studying until I was 21!!!!!

How about the rest of you?

I wanted to be a vet when I was a kid but the thought of euthanasing someone's pet put me off. Then I wanted to be a lawyer but couldn't stand the thought of going to college because I knew that there was no way I could afford to go to Uni at the time..

All my Uni studying has been done in later life and paid for by myself, whilst working full time. I'm glad that I do what I do but it aint arf stressful sometimes.

If I could afford to finish work and do something which earned next to no money but was enjoyable, I'd have a stab at conservation work (preferably in Galapagos, New Zealand or Australia)..

Not if you live in one of my developments.

I have more or less done what I wanted to do when I was at school but if I could do a career change now it would be Travel Writer!! Then again I would also like people to leave me alone long enough for me to write and algebra book (yes I am serious)

I too fancied being a vet until I realised the sciences were not my best subjects at school. I "flirted" with farming too but, short of marrying a farmer, I knew it was unlikely I'd make much of a career of it.

Strange as it may seem, I liked the idea of the Civil Service from the age of 15 and, for my sins, that's where I ended up. I always had a secret fantasy, though, that one evening I would be at a concert, dance or whatever and the singer (Big Band or Jazz, to my liking) would collapse on stage. Up I would rush, blushing modestly, and say, "Perhaps I can help you out", whereupon I would be "discovered". It never happened so I had to make do with Folk and Jazz Clubs and Whitby Operatic Society.

Incidentally, my other career was wife/mum. I think I was quite good at that.
