What is your ideal career?

[Amira]

I want to know what would be your ideal career, or something you always wanting to do. Are you doing that thing now? Are you working towards getting there? Have you given up on it completely? I have always wanted to develop video games, but I wanted to be the boss at my own studio. I have from a child created so many great game ideas, I honestly have a 3 goldmines and 5 major hits in my head! I am currently seeking to bring one of my projects to life! I am in the development stages on my own. I intend to use Kick starter along with an American or British partner, for I don't have access to it as I am not from the countries it is available in. It is a great idea and I can't wait to how it will be received.

Retirement sounds good right about now (and I'm only 30!!). Looking and applying for jobs is tiresome and downright annoying. It never seems to get easier, only harder.

I've never really given careers any thought, to be honest. I once thought about going into IT support, but it just didn't get beyond college. So, I've spent the better half of the last 8 and a half years looking for ways to make money WITHOUT working for someone else.

I hope your career goes the way you want it to. There's nothing worse than being unemployed and unhappy with yourself.

I'm 23 and wouldn't mind retiring. |D
Okay, jk jk.

I'd like to do something related to art, considering I spend a good portion of my freetime drawing and so on. But at least in Finland that line of work isn't very stable and it's mostly freelancing so my mental health would eventually suffer. :'D
...And I have attitude issues in a way that I won't draw anything that doesn't interest me even in the slightest, and if I end up drawing something like that I'll do it so badly half-assed as possible. <headdesk>

So I guess I'll do painter job as long as my body allows. That field knows no ergonomy.

I want to be a supervillain.
However, I will settle for mad scientist. I am currently in university doing a biology major. After I'm done my undergrad, I will (hopefully) go on to a Masters and Ph.D. and eventually be a research scientist. I either want to go into neuroscience or genetics, but I'm not sure which yet. I love brains and think they are the most fascinating things ever, but there are some really cool discoveries that can be made (I hope) in genetics.

I have my perfect career, I am a full time housewife/DIY/gardener and parent for 3 days a week.

Love my man, love my kids, I just wish the money were a little better.

Ideally, I'd like to be a professional Lottery winner. But, I hear you have to actually buy the tickets, so.....I guess I'll stick to what I'm doing now: helping little old ladies cross the street, and using my various skills to help people who would be house-bound to get out and participate in their life.

I drive a paratransit van. Pays well, has a really good retirement plan, full medical etc. And I get to help people, which is an absolute pre-requisite for me.

My desire from earliest childhood was to be a wife, mother, and home-body. Things didn't work out that way. Instead I spent my life in high tech, R&D and design, before I retired last year. I would STILL rather have kids and grandchildren than anything I did have.
