Is the job you do the one you wanted to do when you were growing up or is there a job you would prefer to do?

Hi

That depends on whether you mean doing the job you wanted to do, or finding out that the job includes a massive amount of pointless paperwork.

I am a computer programmer. I enjoy programming, but I just cannot stand all the paperwork this industry is getting infected with.

All the best

I'm not doing the job that I wanted to do when I was growing up, and boy am I glad I'm not! The job I have is much more fun! But I would prefer to be in the sound side of the industry and not the pictures part - oh well!

When I was growing up we were never told that there were fun jobs out there... it seems school wants everyone to be a scientist or you're a loser! Evil or Very Mad

I want to be rally driver but until I get discovered I'm stuck supporting 2nd rate personnel software. Is it just me or is IT really boring?

Who here has the best job?

I wanted to be a pilot when I was growing up. But somehow I became a web monkey instead. Confused

It's not as much fun as it was a few years back (when there was more money to spend and dot coms ruled) but equally, it's not as stressful as it was then either. Pays the bills. Smile

Not sure what I want to do next. Probably something that doesn't involve sitting in front of a computer all day.

I wanted to be a Pilot because I love aircraft, especially fast jets. This was not my only reason though. Part of my logic when I was ten years old involved the fact that all astronauts were fast jet pilots first and foremost, before they became astronauts.

Also James Bond was in the armed services before he was in MI6, so I figured (at ten years old ) that either would be a good job, Astronaut or Spy! Smile

I would like to try my hand at some mechanical stuff again, but I think I would keep that as an interest rather than as my career. I am hoping to also try my hand at some software engineering soon too. I'll have to see how it all pans out! Smile

The past few years I've been interested in graphics/design and from that I'm part-time at FB (which is a top job obviously), and recently a Junior Designer.

So at the mo I'm doing what I've always wanted to do Very Happy

I always wanted to an RAF pilot, went for selection, failed. Decided that I didn't really want to sign a 16 year contract anyway.

So now I'm studying to be a commercial pilot. Smile

Never wanted to work and never had a dream job.

Jobs you want when you are growing up tend not to be realistic IMO.

I would want to do kayaking/ canoeing instructing full time, but there isn't really much money in it Confused

Might have to sort out doing some more qualifactions though and I might be able to. It was the only job I've had where I really enjoyed what I was doing pretty much every day. Neutral

Well i always wanted to be a development engineer for a Automotive firm, or a Motorcycle manufactuer. Was always interested in engines as a kid, at one stage i was into messing with lawnmower engines, and trying not very successully to build a go kart. I also was into 2 stroke outboard boat motors, and liked taking them apart as you do! By my High school days i wanted to be a Jet Aircraft mechanic/engineer, and liked the idea of working on big Jet engines. Erm i was very mathmatically challenged at school and college, and so i kinda gave up on that idea, tho i still think it would have been cool to work on jet planes as a job, although i dont know anyone who has gone into this area of engineering.
