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!
#1 Every time I see those guys on the travel channel that get paid to travel the world and document it, I know,, that's what I would rather be doing than anything else. I guess that's whimsical coz it will never happen.
#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 and go 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.
It sounds so cool though.lol
At some point, I'm hoping to reach a point where I can work and live off a Part time schedule as a Nurse and be able to spend my other days doing other things to self-develop.
Maybe I would be a child life specialist. I love hospitals and I love children so if I couldn't be a nurse I guess that's the closest to it.
Or I would be a children's librarian? Or maybe a child psychologist? or a children's author?
Or I would love to get paid a lot of money to just blog about whatever I want. I was originally going to become an attorney but I DEFINITELY do not want to do that now.
Hmmmm...... *sigh*. I always wanted to be a veterinarian (so cliche... I know).... received my first degree as a BS Animal Science from UCONN (GO HUSKIES!!). Going to vet school turned out to be a pipe dream.... somehow the student loans for an out-of-state veterinary degree were very daunting.
Somedays, I daydream about the "ease" of owning a bookstore/cafe, where eclectic crafters and young raw talent can come and enjoy themselves. I say "ease", in that, no lives are in my hands..... just a cup of coffee and a good book. I worked in a bookstore as I was going through high school, and college...... it was one of my favorite jobs.... talking to all the interesting people who love chatting up their latest read.
Realistically-I think I would have made a good teacher. I taught 5th graders at after-school CCD classes and loved it
Whimsically-I'd love to be a world-traveller (preferably on a yacht!) and write about my adventures! I might still make that dream happen when I retire!
I change my mind constantly but : flight attendent, police officer, Media star, financial advisor, pop star, professional ballerina, restaurant manager, retail store manager, waitress.Reality tv star ! (most of these are whimsical and not realistic in the slightest)
