Most of us, most of the time, love being nurses. Secretly...if money wasn't really an issue...and you did need to work somewhere doing something...what "do you want to be when you grow up?"
If money was no object, I'd actually want to be an administrative assistant - someone's secretary! Answering phones, greeting people, stuff like that...crazy, I know.
What about you?
And please....sincere posts only. Let's keep it clean.
Backup singer for Carrie Underwood (I can't sing at all....they wouldn't have to turn the mike on.)
YES!
To be a backup group singer for any famous singer. I never wanted to be the Diana Ross person - I just would like to be a Supreme. Or in a big choir ensemble.
I would love to be a teacher or professor if I could not be a nurse. One of the reasons I like nursing is that we do a lot of teaching, so I sort of get to be both a nurse AND a teacher. :)
Personal trainer or massage therapy. Both interest me but neither career pays well.
I was a licensed massage therapist for years and had I forget how many tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt because of USMT. The rent you pay to a reputable company to work for them is ridiculous. Trying to do it on your own encounters so many perverse people. It's great helping people, but it's hard to make a living.
Specializes in Psychiatry, Community, Nurse Manager, hospice.
My dream job is to be a PMHNP. That's why I'm going to nursing school.
But I would also like to publish novels, plays and poems. And get the level of readership where everyone knows your pen name but no one knows your face or your real name so you have privacy.
I see my dreams as first draft plans. I recommend this way of thinking.
If anyone would listen to me, I'd like to be an advisor. I don't want to be a college advisor but a life advisor. Everything from "get over yourself, suck it up and get on with life, no-one is happy all of the time" to helping lower teen pregnancy, increase literacy, improve maths scores in the USA, on and on. My friends and I frequently joke that if we could get people to listen to us, we could solve the world's problems.

A second choice would be to go back 25 years or so and open, own & manage a tearoom. I've recently become fascinated with all the fine nuances of 'taking tea', so to host 'tea' activities would be such a 'fine art'. Right now I could plan menus, tearoom décor, music, apparel, all the fine details, Even a 'tea' for boys.
