I'd like to note that nothing has changed. Tea will be served in the garden at 10 a.m.
These days I'm a SAHD with part time employment as a Self-direction provider for special needs young people. Secondarily and as a hobby, I am an environmental activist working towards a clean, safe river.

Real Job: Genomic Scientist

Studied For: Genomic Scientist

Dream Job: What I'm doing now, with slightly more responsibility and pay. I seriously love my job. There are days that I wish I had studied chemE or CompSci, because the fields generally pay better, you can start your job with about ~5 fewer years of schooling, and each of them could have wound me up doing what I do now... but no sense lingering over the past too much.

Fantasy Job: Probably a disgruntled commoner who could have been a wizard but couldn't afford the tuition!

Real Job: Merchant / VP Sales & Product Development (aka I sell blankets to people like WalMart and Macy’s. I sell a LOT of blankets)

Studied For History major, was going to be a professor or a lawyer, but was too lazy to go back to school for another 3 years.

Dream Job: Before I knew much about it, I wanted to be a VP Product Development for toys (like the movie “Big”). Then I learned how much the toy industry absolutely sucks and changed my mind.
But now I’d probably say running a company in my current industry. At this point, I’m too old to learn anything else.


Fantasy Job: A merchant obviously. I’d be the guy you sell your stuff to for half price and will sell you different stuff for full price. And I’d probably lie to you about the value of the gems you were trying to sell.
