Of course, if you are going to be crazy enough to be a parent, the ability to call security would be nice.

I'm open for suggestions as to where I should own this dream ranch.....

Utah

I would do something artsy near the beach. If money grew on trees I'd try to go to Art school but unfortunately, it doesn't.

 

[some other dude]

I dream of a job where I do not, in fact, have to call security to get a person (who asked me to save their life) to cooperate with my saving their life.

Try neonatology.

Nah.... I like being married to my beautiful wife.

Clerical celibacy is a discipline, not a doctrine. The Pope could change it.

Am I the only one who never dreamed of a particular job as a child/teen?

My dreams were more, "I'm going to write the great 20/21st century novel and never be forgotten by history."

I wanted to be a teacher, build houses (prolly the Lincoln Logs talkin' there), invent things, debate important subjects, act, be a doctor, fix stuff, sing, dance, and be a great wife who had a maid to do all the housework

So let's see how I'm doin'
I teach my kids all kinds of stuff as a home school mom; I teach the Junior High group how to study the Bible and next I'll be leading them through reading the Bible through.
I designed my own house and did some of the work in building it (hubby did 90%, contractors did 1-2%).
I invented all sorts of stuff in my hey-day of software design - stuff that's all common-place today I had a hand in creating from scratch; I invent new teaching methods all the time...
I debate important things, not only here, but also irl with my kids, my friends, my family - I'll talk to anyone
I've played some very interesting roles at VBS
I doctor not only my own kids (as long as no prescription pads or x-ray machines are needed), but also my animals (but not the rabbits since just about every medicine is deadly to rabbits except for the ones that need a prescription :mmph
I'm a mom; I fix stuff. Just yesterday, I fixed the pencil sharpener that was suffering from Lego overdose. It took tweezers, a hat pin, a pencil, and super glue... and about 3 weeks of time, 'cause I kept getting frustrated and ready to throw the stupid $80 thing in the trash :sigh: But I finally removed the final Lego yesterday.
I sing to my kids all the time :roses:
I dance with the kids in the kitchen when we're cleaning, and vicariously through two of my daughters who are beautiful dancers on stage :cloud9:
My husband brags about me both in and out of my presence :straight:
I have no maid :noid:
:idea: But I do have 6 kids! Not as thorough nor as reliable, but better than being left to do it all on my own

Employment, a job, requires working for someone else. I would rather be a business owner than an employee, but that takes work and money to keep it going until it is profitable.

For a job, I would like to get paid to audit classes of my choice in colleges and universities around the country.

Independently wealthy international playboy. lain:

It is easier to do it with the tax payers covering for you.

I would love to own a ranch. Not a large ranch that would require a lot of hands to assist, but a smallish ranch that I could run with the help of my kids and my wife (what things she is able to do, that is).

I am pressed to think of another location where I can better teach my children the joy of hard work. ..I'm open for suggestions as to where I should own this dream ranch.....

Douglas county, Colorado. But hurry. The Californians started moving in back in the early 90's, and they smell funny.

When I was in high school I wanted to work in Dupont's explosives division.


Now, the jobs I wish I could do would have required me to head down different paths long ago.

Ain't that the case. Or know the right people.
