I have been doing a lot of thinking lately of whether or not I got into the right career choice or if there is a career that is better suited towards my personality. I’m not trying to make a switch, but it made me ponder the idea of…. If I lived my life over 5 times, which different career paths would I take?
1. Elementary Teacher – I absolutely love most little kids and I feel like this job would best suit my personality and really bring out the best in me. I love to be creative, act goofy, and do spontaneous activities. Surprised? Well, I just never have time for that sort of stuff! I would love to have that sort of environment for my career. Small children rarely annoy me, they are the only group of people that I usually have tremendous patience with. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely have my moments at home after a ten hour work day when I want to scream because Hunter is into the cupboards, pulling the lamp off the table, or feeding his entire dinner to the dog.
2. Air Force Pilot – After seeing what Jesse does as a loadmaster on the C-17’s, it has instilled a desire to have adventure in my work. I also have developed a strong sense of wanting to serve our country.
3. Baker – For awhile, I dreamed up opening up my own bakery or cupcake shop. Now I am thinking, I just want to bake. I don’t want to own a shop, simply clock in and bake, bake, bake! So yes, I would love to wake up at the crack of dawn, or even before, head over to a quaint little bakery, bake up some delicious food, and then welcome people as they come in for a tasty treat!
4. A chef – I really don’t think I’m cut out for the brutal competition and rivalry that goes along with it, but the idea of going to culinary school really appeals to me. I LOVE watching Iron Chef America, Next Food Network Star, and Chopped. I just think it would be very fun and exciting.
5. Stay at home mom – I go back and forth about this. I love being at home with Hunter, but I also like getting a break from home and feel like I am contributing to something outside of our home. The flip side of this is that I would get to spend tons of time with Hunter, would be able to have more babies whenever I could handle it, and be able to pursue some of the above mentioned things at home! I have a feeling this could be coming in my life especially if Jesse gets stationed somewhere else anytime soon. Hmmm, perhaps that will be a future blog topic…
What would you like to do if you had more time in your life to have multiple careers?

I love this post! I think it's inspired me to writer on similar (and I'll give credit back to you!)
ReplyDeleteI would want to be a small book shop owner. Hands down, I know that's what I would want. I would also love to work at our church- they have great work hours, atmosphere, and benefits. And I can't neglect to say that I'd be over the moon happy if I could simply stay home with my son and NOT have to worry about putting food on the table.
