For some reason I was thinking about Spinal Tap, at the end, when the guy says he would sell hats if he wasn't a musician.
So if you weren't a nurse, what would you have become?
If I was being serious, probably a social worker, because when I went back to school, I was debating between social work and nursing.
If I was being whimsical, I'd be an astronaut. Even though I think I'm too tall, and know I'm too out of shape and don't have the science and engineering brain for it. But it's a fun thought!
#2 Which I am really, seriously, but not too carefully considering. Save up a bunch of $ by doing double for a year then give it all up andgo to some remote beach locale and open up a bar with some food bar offerings. And maybe a small guest house/hostel.
I could invite all my fellow stressed out AN members to visit for a week and decompress.
I always wanted to be a comedian when I grew up. Sometimes still do! I also want to own a book store. not a Borders or B&N type, but one that has used books, big comfy chairs and couches, coffee and tea, everyone is friends type of place!

LOL, I have to say that this is your fantasy and you can have it any way you want it. I love to write (but I am horrible at spelling) and I love to draw so I had thought that I would have gone into journalism or advertising.
Probably a lawyer---In school I was debating which path I would go, decided I get too emotionally invested in winning and would be an emotional wreck, so I went into nursing school.
Whimsically???? An animal trainer at sea world or a marine biologist who saved animals around the world. Or a K9 officer (I was on the path to getting a dog with the military when I got pregnant with my daughter)
Living off the land without having to worry about money, bills, war, etc. Having the privilege of peace and silence out in the middle of nowhere with just the sound of nature around (maybe a person or two as well)...perhaps have a friend named Wilson.
I suppose it would be fantastic to be able to travel the world and see all the architecture and history.
