I wanted to be a pilot but hayfever knocked that one out, I did plan to apply for the Secret Service in the UK or leave to do Law Enforcement in the US but instead settled into a job staying here in the uk!

I'm now a dad and full time...........
 
I got less than 8 grand a year for that job before tax and it wasn't enough to even rent a place to live, let alone anything else like buying food or paying bills.

Woah, maybe I wasn't paid that badly then. I've only had to work during summers so far, but my first hotel job doing front desk at a Best Western I made about seven grand after taxes and that was from mid May to late August. I know alot of that was sales commissions as well. But holy sh*t, I thought I was paid poorly, that's downright ridiculous. Especially when you see how much money those hotels are bringing in a day...
 
To be honest I've wanted to be a lot of things.
First I wanted to be a police constable.
Then a marine biologist.
Then a soldier, but when I found out I'd have to have 3 months of R&R when I'd rather jump into the training, due to my glandular fever.
So, I've chosen to be a military historian/military tactician so in a way I'm assisting the military whilst staying within the limits of my virus.
 
I never thought about what i wanted to be when i was younger, i had no real interests that could be applied towards a job.But for now i'm going to join up the army in a few months and start a job in something simple like driver transporting or being a soldier.If i can handle something simple like those two i want to do whats called anaylist intelligence operations and possibly if i'm man enough when im 19 become a commando.Its a bit nerving but i'm also really excited.

Once i move on from that i want to get a turntable set and see if i can produce anything worthwhile for clubs or parties.If not that i will go to a sound course and learn how to edit sounds,setup equipment for concerts and sound broadcasting.I love editing with sound, the stuff you can create is beyond infinite.

I still don't know what i truly want but im getting there.
 
i believe that we should follow our dreams even if it is almost impossible, like the nike or somthing like that slogan is - impossible is nothing, so if you really want to be an astronaut, i wish you good luck with it
 
Astronaut would be sick the only downside is when they send you out to fix stuff i can just imagine like the cord from the spaceship getting ripped off and floating into space for a few months.. unless you can manage to pull yourself to earth for an epic landing.xD
 
I've had so many dreams but I always knew it was just dreams. I never seriously wanted to become a jet fighter pilot, professional football player similar to David Beckham, artist famous as Bruce Springsteen, etc. That was some of my dreams lol. My only plan was to make the most out of any opportunities that came. It was a big recession at that time, the economy in Norway was much harder hit by the 80's / 90's recession than the 2008/2009 recession. I joined the army, used the possibility to take as much extra education as possible beside the obligatory military training/education. I did very well and was lucky to got a job in transportation business some days after I ended the military service. Years later I quit and became my own boss. It's a bit boring but it pays well so I'm content.

Amen. While I was lucky enough to have some pretty great management, it was mainly the customers that I wanted to kill. I think when you work front desk and deal with all kinds of different people on a daily basis, you start to realize how... stupid people are. And I know that's an awful thing for me to say- but I actually got yelled at by a customer because it was raining. I wanted to tell them to go f*ck themselves so bad. I don't know, for the bullsh*t you have to take when working front desk, they really should be paid more.

Sadly, that is not unbelievable. And that's probably the similar type of persons that commits road rage and other crimes. :( Everyone who deals with customers on a daily basis can tell stories about rude and horrible customers. People working in stores or hotels etc can not have temper, or they must be good at controlling it.

Reservations screwed up one day when I was left on my own to manage the front desk (I worked for a large hotel chain at the time) and two sporting groups arrived for the same rooms. When I explained the double booking situation, one man just got right in my face and yelled abuse until he went purple. Then when I had been able to fix the problem, the same guy patted me on the cheek like I was 7 years old and said "you're only a girl, after all - it's to be expected that you can't manage much". I'm no feminist, as you all should know by now, but that really ticked me off so I gave him a three AM automated wake-up call for his entire stay there using the TV in his room as the alarm. Not only was it loud, it was also using hardcore pornography as the alarm channel. Cost him a fortune when it came to check-out time as no one would believe he hadn't opted for it himself. Happy days...

My stomach twisted in pain and disgust :wacko: as I read this, until I got to the part where you told about your sweet revenge. "Yess!" lol. He got taught a lesson there. I love it.

Which of these careers are you pursuing now? :lol: You will probably not be unemployed regardless of your choice(s).
Be careful with the latter career, I hear the re-education options are few down that line.
What is "retro thief"?

A military historian? Nah, why settle for anything less than a military hero? That way you can be involved in history, by making it instead of typing it haha.
I'm just kidding. I'm very interested in history myself and any position as historian sounds as a nice and interesting job.

I always wanted to be a lawyer ever since I was little, but you need an A to A+ average to get into law school, and I'm not sure I can achieve that. You basically have to get 100% on almost everything, which is hard, especially in my program since everything is so argument-based.

So, I need to get into graduate school and do my Masters in public policy administration. I'd love to a public policy analyst for the government, that's my dream job at the moment.

Haha, was that a busier day than normal? Ah don't mind me. Lol.. :p

 
Sorry Romero, I had to edit my quote in your post; I felt so vulnerable what with my spelling errors being exposed and exploited. For profit. Yeah, that's right - how do I know you're not trying to sell that to like, the tabloids or something. :p
 
That is precisely my point; you just said there were three. :p

And yes, I do think you would risk it. I know you well enough by now. :p
 
I'm doing a coffee course in a week!Its only 1 day lol but i wanted to serve alcoholic drinks for quite a few years and this is a start..after i've been in a club though it doesn't look like much fun maybe a quiet job in the pub is what i'd need but club work is just constant drink serving and high skills.I can imagine stuffing up a million drinks before i could perfect one lol.
 
Good luck, Levan! That is HARD work, but if you put your mind to it, the world could always use another responsible, hard-working doctor. :)

I wanted to be a veterinarian for, like, ever. I would still love to work with animals, but the economy doesn't seem promising in that venue. So right now I'm working at Medical Transcription. I don't really like it, I have to say, but it seems the logical choice.

Heh, problem is, I'd rather go full on with the training, but I'd have to have 3 months R&R and then do the training because of my glandular fever.
But, I'm more or less addicted to history! I love to learn about past battles and such, and I've decided I want to at least help the military, so yeah.
 
teal, im poor, i live in a tiny apartment with 7 people, i dont have my own bedroom, but i will still follow my dream, and it is pretty risky, isnt there a way for you to win a schlarship so that you can do what you like and not what gives you more money
