Do you have a dream job?

When I was a child, I wanted to be a doctor. You know, with the excuse of wanting to cure unhealthy people. But during middle school, it was changed. At that time, I wanted to be an astronaut because I mostly read astronomy books. It also happen in high school, it changed again, hahahaha, I was very fickle, at that time I wanted to become a bank teller or accountant in a large company, considering I was also majoring in accounting at that time. And as expected, my mind changed again after I became acquainted with the world of language and literature. I once again changed and wanted to be a writer, journalist, or language teacher. And I don't know maybe it will changed again when I graduated from college How about you guys? Do you experience the same change of dream job like me?

As a child, I wanted to be a nurse. It changed temporarily to airline stewardess, but that really didn't enthuse me, so I went back to my original thought to becoming a nurse. When I went into the Navy, it was with the intention of going to Corps School to become a nurse. That didn't happen. I worked in nursing for only a few months before I went into the Navy. After the Navy, my career choice turned to offset press operator. I enjoyed that for a little while too. However, underlying all those careers was writing. I started writing at the age of 8 and I'm an author now. I'm doing my ultimate career choice.

First I wanted to be a teacher then a nurse and finally a vet. Unfortunately I didn't do any of it. Got married and had kids but I did work in the medical field.

@kasmakarim That's very true. And although I would have liked to be a vet, I wouldn't trade my kids and my life at the time for anything.
