QOTD: Are you doing what you really want to be doing?
Original post by trnity44
Career wise- are you doing what you really want to be doing? Or would really rather be doing something else?

Yes...but not for long since I will probably have to switch careers when and if I move. Although my job is not my ideal, I am in my dream field.
Sasha, can I have your job instead - I think I'd do really well

Love being a teacher! I'm sure I'll need to switch grades in a few years to avoid going crazy though!

Nope! I really want to do voice overs, but I need to have the equipment so I dont have the room for it now, in my parents house, so once we get married I will have to start working on it.

I think I'm doing something close to what I wanna be doing - working at a small investment firm in the business developoment dept. but I think I'd be happier in a bigger place where I have the potential to make more $$$ Then there's always the idea I play around with of going back to school and getting my masters in education and teaching 2nd or 3rd grade. Decisions, decisions

Re: QOTD: Are you doing what you really want to be doing?
i like what i do.... i'm a speech therapist at a public school. its nice because even though i have 40 kids that i see, i only see them like 2 at a time, so i don't haev a whole class full of kids, whcih is nice. i can do a lot of fun, game-based stuff with them. i work on all kinds of things- not just kids who can't say sounds correctly... i also work on language skills for some of the special ed kids like sentence structure, reading comprehension, reading in general, following directions, memory, etc... so it really varies a lot which is good. BUT- being in a publc school, there are so many laws and things now and so much paperwork that it just gets crazy sometimes.. and also with each kid pretty much working on something different, i am always having to come up with different lesson plans- i really can't just do one lesson for a whole class- so that gets crazy, too.... overall, i guess its not bad- i'll hang in there for a couple years till i have kids and i can stay home and be a mommy

Re: QOTD: Are you doing what you really want to be doing?
NO I would rather be a stay at home mom, just without the whole mom thing so i guess that would be just a stay at home.
to be honest, i am not totally happy with what i do but have no idea as to what i would like to do. it tends to change year to year.

No, I always wanted to be a lawyer, but now I can't stomach the thought of 3 more years of college. Getting my masters was enough

nope... i'd rather be doing something else. But for now, those student loans have to be paid off first and being a teacher out here (which is what i want to do) just doesn't cut it.

Nope. But then again, I have absolutely no idea what I want to do. I hope one day I will just wake up and know!

I like my job and I'm getting pretty good at it. One day if financially possible I'd like to be a stay at home mom.

Not at all. I'm trying to start a home business on the side of my 9-5 job. Hopefully, by the time I'm home with babies my card making business will have taken off. I'd like to be a LIW vendor one day making custom programs, menus, invitations and announcements...

I guess I'm the minority, but - Absolutely!!!! I busted my booty to get here, and making sure I never get out; only up from here.

Re: QOTD: Are you doing what you really want to be doing?
ummmm... yes and no.... I do two things... the fun part is that I began my own PR firm and that is great... I work for the government during the day... that's alright....
I am hoping to build up the firm so I can only do that... I am pretty burnt out with the gov.. and my pension is pretty good so I can get out soon....
