Re: What do you do?
What do you wish you did? (dream scenario) I want to own a book store and doggie day care center
What might you do that is attainable? I would love to move in to the non-profit space working with and advocating for abused children.

I work in HR.
Other than being a SAH wife and someday mom, I really think I'd enjoy being a professional stager. Random, I know. I don't think I'd like stress of being a full time interior designer, but doing stuff that's temporary so people could sell their houses would be super fun.
I actually think the above could be attainable if I tried. I have friends in the real estate business. Otherwise, I really think I'd enjoy teaching (high school speech/debate). I'm just too chicken to pull the trigger and go for it. I'd also really love to get back into volunteering at the local crisis pregnancy centers, but I can't with my work hours right now
If I ever get to SAH or work PT, I will absolutely start doing this again.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermDream job- nutritionist at a spa/resort on a beach
Realistic - I like my job so if I could go part time to keep my benefits, I would pursue my Kinesiology practice part time. When grad school is done, I may very well do this.

A Parachute in an Oak Tree: A World of Love
I wish I could be a stay at home mom and work part time or per diem.
That might be attainable but my husband is a police officer and honestly, they get paid very little compared to what they truly deserve. We shall see what the future brings
Married August 2009
3 years. 5 losses.

I wish I'd been a teacher.
I also wish I had married someone rich so I could be a housewife.
FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
My #1 dream would be to open an animal rescue shelter and have a volunteer program for teens who are interested in going into animal science. I would love to rehabilitate the animals, find them homes and teach about the care and husbandry of the animals.
What I would also like to do, is teach elementary school. I had tried for 2 years to get my foot in the door but no schools in NY were hiring. I ended up staying in my job for the money but now I am done waiting and will settle for any sub job out there.

I wish that I would have continued for my CPA and would get into the accounting and bookkeeping for our local farmers. I have the farming knowledge to understand everything that's going on, yet the business sense to make it work out on paper and show them breakdowns of the hard numbers. I currently do this for 3 family farmers, but don't know the tax side of things to be able to broaden it and make it a true business.

I would love to be a cake decorator.

Dream job: Ugh. All the things. Publisher. Writer. Start up a non-profit to teach languages that are prevalent in my area besides English. Web developer or software engineer for a company, but not on salary so I don't have to work overtime without being paid.
Attainable: Freelance web developer. But I hate sales and am really bad at selling myself so I don't know how that would really go for me. I'd want some kind of partner to handle that.
08/13: Started TTC - 07/14: PCOS dx
BFP 09/18/15 - Baby S 05/27/16
Dream: I would like to work as an NP three days per week (12 hour shifts -full time), and then be a chef the other days of the week at a café/restaurant.
Attainable: I already have my NP job, and I am working on teaching myself how to cook and bake. I probably won't ever work in a restaurant (unless DH opens one), but I will host amazing dinner parties and gift baked goods to friends and family.
I work part time in the Quality department at a hospital. I'm a data bitch, basically.
Dream Job: I'd love to do something involving theater and students of any age. Not sure exactly, though. Also, anything where I can create and get paid well for it.
Attainable: ?? No clue.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

I'd love to be a professional organizer. Kitchens, closets, garages, whatever.

What do you wish you did? (dream scenario) Besides SAHM, I would love to get into HR.
What might you do that is attainable? not sure?
Getting fit for IVF!
This pretty much is my dream job. If you took the stupid red tape BS out, it would be for sure.
I would, of course like to be independently wealthy so I could just work part time though and travel to exoctic places the rest of the time. I could work with that
