My actual one, being a Chef. I also have to add, in Western-Europe, with weekly 38 hours work-time, strong laws, unions, background. I changed at my 40. Before I was doing white-collar jobs, with university-degree, and everything... but I managed to have my hobby my good-paying-job. Sure, there are days, when I'm questioning my decision ;)

A bestselling author. If not that, I would like to try my hand at social work. Many people have told me that I would be an excellent fit for social work, and that I should give up on my dream to be an author because rarely an author makes it big in the writing world. However I really do love writing, but at the same time I love helping people, so I would enjoy both.

An author is mine as well. Not necessarily best selling, but of course that would be nice! But just successful enough to be able to live comfortably, nothing extravagant. I thought about being a social worker too, but I can only speak about the US. You need a lot of schooling, and the work load in many places is unsustainable. Too many cases per worker and it can be dangerous too. This is mainly CPS (child protective services) but there's others like for seniors, etc. Only thing I know for sure, find a job you enjoy and write on the side when you're just starting out. Good luck! xx

A doctor. I want to be a doctor that people trust and admire. A doctor which isn’t a greedy person. A doctor that donates their time, and money to help everyone. A doctor that people can rely on. A doctor that can save lives.

Forensic science. I'm a biochem graduate, not so close but not so far either. I know it's not as glamorous as the movies/shows depict, nor as fast, but I like lab work and the tedious work you need to put in there. I enjoyed every moment of my labs in uni, unfortunately I haven't landed a job yet in my field (moved to a foreign country with a foreign language which I must learn well first)

I'd love to own and work at a polymer Chem lab developing strong and kinetic energy absorbent materials. But if that doesn't work out, headmaster/teacher at my own private school would be fun.
