Up until March 31 I had my dream job- I was the proud owner of a doggie daycare.

I thought that was a growing field! Sorry you're not working in your dream job now

Good points.... Working for someone else can be great if you have a good boss, or sheer hell if you don't.

Besides I can play on Kindle Boards while at work without feeling guilty.........well not too guilty.

There's that. I have a spare computer at my desk yesterday and today, so I was able to keep one open to KB and check in whenever I had a break in the work I was doing on the other one... alas, time to shut down one of them now.

Yep - I counted the days and hours until I could RETIRE - now I can read, teach t'ai chi, walk, try to discipline my dogs, cook, play cards with my DH (dead H when he beats me  ) sleep late, did I say read? and read and read and enjoy the birds, flowers, life in general and spend lots and lots of time on kindleboards

My current job is reading books, mixing what I learn from them with what I already know and then writing it down in some cohesive manner.

I also have to visit KindleBoards a few times a day to see what everyone is reading and discussing.

It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it.

You are bad Susan in VA!!!

I am leaning towards a degree in this job now! But it has to be in exotic places for the pay to be worth it and on a yacht.

Sounds like a real tough life, Jeff.

I think I would like that island caretaker job. I can't remember where it was, but it was a beautiful island somewhere and the only job requirement was that you had to blog about living there.

 

[Susan in VA]

But did it have Whispernet?

LOL! That would be a definite consideration...

At the ripe old age of 53 I'm seriously considering changing from my six-figure career in Project Management and going to Divinity School for a low five-figure career as a minister.  Seems like fulfillment is more important than cash.

Don't need WN just internet

Since this is just a dream and does not need brains - I'd love to be a marine biologist!

My niece wanted to be one also in real life. But she needed a job quickly and became an airline stewardess for American Airlines instead.

She was working towards being an olympic swimmer, also was a lifeguard, swam the ocean, and here her Aunt Sailor can't swim!

I would love to be a Travel Journalist.  Getting paid to travel the world would be my ideal.  I would specialize in cruise travel.

My sister-in-law, while not making six figures (she was a school administrator), did this. Despite the difficulty in getting a church of her own, she found it VERY fulfilling. Still does, though she retired some years ago from full time and recently stopped doing even weddings due to illness.

Eleven years ago, I quit a full time job with the fed gov't to be a quilter and spend my husband's retirement with him. No one that I worked with it could believe it. So really I have my dream life.

Go for it.
