This is life and life is not very simple. Everything we want, it gonna materialize all. There something that we hate but we must do it. One of them is about our job now. I have been a private teacher, I teach school subject in my home. This is not kind of job I really want to have. I want to have own business like opening restaurant or small shop that sell food. But it need much capital to do it. So it become my dream. But I still hope someday I can have it with my saving money that I get from my recent job. Are you job now is like you want ? Or you just do it to get some money for fullfill your daily needs. If not, what job do you really want to do? Thank's for your willing time to read my discussion and sharing with me.

Well, I'm a printer and yes I do like my job someday's and some I don't. But i'm lucky to have a job. Alot of company's are moving to Mexico. Mine is as well, but the printing is staying here for now. It's getting scary out there. I wanted to be a house wife and Mother. That job didn't work out after the first 4 years he didn't want to work. So yes he had to go. Are company's here in the USA get stuck paying a lot of stuff. They have to keep people if they have Family Med leave. Where they can come and go as they please. That isn't fair to company. I know they need jobs but when they abuse there FML act. Then I do belive get rid of them. One person has had that for over five years. So I like my job. As we say I love my job I love my job. lol even when we don't. Have a wonderful night

I think we all need a dream.If we have no dream and are totally satisfied in life then thats great but highly unlikely.I too would love to do something different but i have so many dreams i cannot choose.It feels like one of those spinning tops is going round in my head all the time and if i whack it it will stop on a dream and that will be my goal.I have never whacked it because then i would have to risk my safe life for a dream which could end up a nightmare.My main dream is to write a book. I have started , stopped , started....i think i'm too scared and i would need to stop my job to concentrate on it. i'm not prepared to do that yet as i can't afford to but one day....The only person stopping me is myself Good luck with your dream Winzpc.keep saving and one day...

I am currently going to school to become a photographer, art is my calling, and I want to freelance for the rest of my life. I have always hated working for others and it maybe because I am more interested in the art and how it affects people, not the business of anything. Not interested in making much money, just want to be stable enough to travel a bit and have my camera. Great discussion, haven't thought about this in awhile, but I have always believed that people have to have a purpose, a dream, something that makes us pursue happiness if you will.

Well I want to become a teacher and a magician. Although I have a job now I think that I would feel better and be more productive if I'm a teacher. I would like to teach because I think that the best way to use what you have learned is to share it with others. How I wish I could get to teach someday sooner. Also since magic is a hobby that I enjoy doing maybe it would be good if I get something form it right? I think it would be nice if I combine magic and teaching right?

I am a student nurse, which means that i pretty much work as a nurse and learn the job but don't get paid for it, which is pretty annoying! I do love it though, it's what i've always wanted to do! Obviously i have to go to lectures at uni as well! I hope you realise your dream one day! xxx

I love my job now. It is not exactly what i was hoping for before but now i am enjoying what i am doing. I dreamed of being a good and efficient secretary, my work now is somewhat similar with it but i do not have to make coffee for my boss and take dictations. Instead i transcribe journals of the minutes of every hearing and or meetings of the City Council.It is quite taxing especially when there are so many hearings/meetings scheduled for the week. But i do enjoy it and i loveit. But what i wanht to do is to put upa mini bar where there would be local bands every night.

Given a chance i would love to become a dentist or a nurse but the fees are too high and we cant afford that , so i end up in marketing. But i would say im also happy with my job now as a marketing but i still dream of being a nurse or a dentist.

I am self-employed in a field that I love, but I am also in midwifery school. Which I believe is my 'calling'.

Well, honestly I am still in the stage of confusion as to what kind of job I really wish to have in the future. I am currently studying Materials Science Engineering and most people from our department ends up in research field. I am really not that into research as a career but now I am kinda considering it as an option too. I actually want to work in the industry or perhaps take Med-School. I want to be a doctor. hehe. My career path is shaky because I like this and that.

I am currently self employed and enjoy it, and I make a profit, but the money is not great. My dream job is probably un-realistic. I would love to be a the host of a cooking show. Like a Food Network host. I think that would be so great. I love to teach and I love to cook, and I have no fear of public speaking.

I don't have a job yet but I'm currently looking for a full time one. I want to join a multinational corporation and move up the ladder. This is just a short term goal though because I do plan to leave the organization and do something on my own two feet. There's just more to earn, learn, and enjoy if I have my own business. I don't want to be slaving away for someone else for the rest of my life! No way!

I want to be a psychologist some day. I want to know how other people work, what makes them talk and think the way they do, and it always interests me.

I easily get bored so i want to have a job that is dynamic where i can interact with different people. A service oriented career would be a great one. Having the chance to serve them.A chance to meet all kinds of people on each day. A job that do a lot of travelling all over the world would also be dynamic. Having the chance to learn different cultures and different languages would expand my knowledge and ideas.=)
