The one I have. Being a scientist is absolutely badass.
Sexuality and gender studies
Artist
Circulation/Access Services at a small, public library. I worked circulation all through high school, college, and grad school, and I loved it. No evenings or holidays, often limited weekends, just working a desk and doing the behind the scenes stuff.
If that paid better, I’d be all over it.
Pretty much the same. I’m doing what I always wanted to. Wanted to be a physician ever since I was a kid and nothing has changed nor will it.
Get paid to read books all day and critique them.
Homesteading. That or running a tiny fruit and sparkling drink bar thats dubstep/EDM themed.
Writer. Which I am, but not yet at the point where I can live off what I make from that.
I want to be a pediatrician. It’s extremely underpaid in my country but that’s what I’m studying for anyways lol
Paleontologist. I have been a huge dinosaur/prehistoric nerd since I was a toddler. If I could go back, I would. I’d give anything to study fossils and dinos.
Own and operate a big cat rescue
I’ve always wanted to be an actor, but money isn’t my only concern. I would never want to do a job like that so long as celebrity culture exists. If you want the good, set-for-life money you need to hit it big (huge gamble), and I certainly don’t want to always be in the public eye as a result; I just want to do my job and then go home at the end of the day like any other average joe in every other career!!!! I don’t need to be idolized because I play a mean game of pretend please i’m literally just some yahoo 😭😭😭
Dogsitter
It wasn’t and I became a teacher!
I have lots of hobbies but none that I think I wouldn’t get sick of doing for “work”.
Fixing/rebuilding cars
To be able to care for and feed all animals that need it. Even if i could go to different places everyday.
Librarian.
Nap taker
Stable owner/horse trainer
Baby animal cuddler. If money is no object I don’t want to have a real job 😂
I’d want to play Belle either in the live Beauty and the Beast show at Hollywood Studios at Disney world or in the Broadway show
Though I do also love being a second grade teacher (: my school is awesome and my kids are great
Food and/or movie critic, house sitter (including pets), historian, writer, artist, fashion designer, interior decorator, or chef!
