I would be a special needs advocate for families when they have to deal with schools. I have won a few battles on my own and woule love to help others.

I have a farm so maybe a full time farmer and something with horses. I also make hand made goatsmilk soap yeah like grandma used to make and I sell that at the farmers markets and craft fairs. So if nursing for some reason gets the back burner I guess I'll be buying more goats..

I really really really like school....professional student unfortunately doesn't pay the bills....maybe some sort of teacher. I had a big dream of being an FBI agent, but I don't believe that's anymore than a dream for me.

Well, my dream job is to work at Disneyworld:D:D

Funny you say that, southern rn - I left a job in management at Walt Disney World to go to nursing school! It is a fun place to be and I absolutely loved working there. But I guess you could say that nursing became my "if I could do something else . . . " Finishing my last prereq this semester and I will begin the nursing program in January. I can't wait to be a nurse!

And the fun part is, I still have tons of friends at WDW, so I get to visit all the time!

Farmer!

When China stops buying up American debt and the greenback is finally proven worthless, when we go through the economic collapse that is inevitable, and when a loaf of bread is $100.00 I want a job that will actually provide food for my family.

If you don't make, hunt, or grow your own food then how do you feed yourself and your family when money becomes worthless?

Oh, I know... The GOVERNMENT will always be there to feed you in tough times right? Yea, you can bet on that.

The last sale of Treasury Bonds in August were bought by the New York Fed about 5 days after going on the market--we are talking billions of dollars here--that we just printed up and essentially lent to ourselves. Investors buy bonds because it is their way to say I believe in your product so I will back you up with my money--help you prosper--and when you make a profit I expect you to share it with me. No foreign investors were interested.

Huge inflation is coming!!!I was in Budapest in 1989 when their country was going thru double digit inflation--not a pretty picture.
