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.
I'd probably volunteer professionally as a NICU cuddler.
In the original areas to implement kangaroo care, and now others like them, people actually do this professionally. Since research shows better growth, temp and glucose regulation when babies are skin to skin, they'll bring in some skin to snuggle preemies. You should totally do this!
I love this whole entire thread! Thank you, OP, for starting it!
I would be a lifelong student. I'd take all of the degree programs that interest me here, then when I get bored, I'd find some place abroad, apply to a university there, and keep going until I was bored there. And I'd help women in a third world country birth their babies. Maybe just for a little while, though. I don't know how long I could stay strong emotionally in that environment. And, somewhere in all that, I'd go be a tomb raider. Maybe that could be part of one of my degrees.
If money wasn't an option, I'd want to do so many different things:
Spelunkologist (cave researcher)- I'd love to go into public restricted caves, such as Lechuguilla (The Giant Crystal Project : Lechuguilla Cave, New Mexico)
Marine Biologist
Open my own bakery
Author- I love to write poems, short stories, children stories, and want to write novels.
I'd love to go to school and learn as many foreign languages as I can
Travel around the world and volunteer
Learn to be a chef from Gordon Ramsey
Work with injured marine wildlife to help them prior to being released back into the ocean
Own a horse stable/rescue that both provides regular horseback riding training, and also helps special needs children/teenagers
Astronaut
Cardiothoracic/Neurosurgeon
Forensic examiner
Oh, the ideas...

Horse trainer. I'm fostering a rescue horse right now and the time I spend with him goes by fast because I love it!
