I would've liked to have been on the other side, just to see if they enjoyed it as much as me.

Joined the forces. Or archaeology Indy Jones style. Or what I do now but joining earlier in life which would give more future opportunities. But I'm happy enough.

In reply to Trangia:

A selective archaeologist who only investigated interesting British neolithic and early bronze age stuff, I doubt such a role exists so as a compromise I'd like to have been Wiltshire county archaeologist.

In reply to Trangia: Vet. I had a crack at becoming a pilot in the RAF - I passed the aptitude tests but failed the interview because they said I had an inadequate vocabulary and no sense of humour.

In reply to Trangia:

Yoga instructor.

In reply to Trangia: Gainfully Unemployed - unfortunately, short of winning the lottery (which i don't play) that's not going to happen.

I'm in the position of seeking a job inline with my academic training for later this year; ideally something with an analytical or process chem basis... with the longterm aim of being in a position to move into the oil-services sector.

In reply to Trangia:

If you had your time again dream jobs would remain as far away for most as they did this time.

In reply to Trangia:

It's not too late, the problem is I still have no idea.

I had the chance to go to agricultural college when I left school, but turned it down as back when I was 16, I thought higher wages lead to higher happiness in life. How wrong I was.

In reply to Trangia:
I'd like to build little assault courses for squirrels and also try to make a living from my cruelty free fur business, my main problem at the moment is stopping the mink attacking the coat wearer and teaching my fox fur hat to sit still.

In reply to Trangia:

I should have chosen Physics or Medicine over Biology, much better job academic job market due to non-academic alternatives.

Oh well, back to writing applications....

In reply to Philo22:

Did one shift working as a cameraman for one of those 'television x' type channels and never went back. The seediest, nastiest thing I've ever done.

Forensic Pathologist.
I watched a lot of Quincy in my youth.


Train Driver.
I watched a lot of Casey Jones in my youth.

As a nurse I was happiest rummaging around in absolutely filthy sloughy smelly wounds, and re-dressing them. Alas, no longer.
and at least now I DO sometimes get to drive steam trains!
