S/O of What do you/spouse do - what would you LIKE to do?

I'd love to plan Make-A-Wish wishes. Finding cool experiences for them and setting everything up, knowing that it will be an amazing experience for them.

That is SO cool. Are they hiring?

Is SAHM or SAHW an option? Because that and a little volunteer work is what I'd really like. But totally not an option.

If not I'll go with Travel Agent (do people still use them?), maybe a WDW trip planner. I very seriously considered being a travel agent but he very low pay stopped me. Not that being a library assistant has made me rich.

But I need my employer's top notch health insurance so I'll stick with library work. The pay may not be good but the benefits are quite decent, esp the health insurance.

I love teaching, but I'd like to be a rich teacher.

Midwife/doula or graphic design. 

The other thread was really interesting.

Hhhmmm what would I do if I didn't have my career? Well is sleep-in-have-lots-of-sex-with-my-husband-lay-on-the-beach-drinking-frozen-margaritas-reading-a-good-book-all-day a job? Cause yeah that, that is what I'd rather be doing. lol

And if not then I think I'd like to be a professional baker with enough money that I could do weddings/birthdays etc for free for military/police/EMS etc. I love to bake and I'm pretty good at it.Or I'd love to have enough money to have a company that takes cancer patients/spouses of military/spouses of law enforcement and makes them queen (or king) for a day. Total make overs, spa services,take them out to do whatever fun thing they requested...one whole day dedicated to them.

I'd like someone to pay me to read books all day.

Husband is an engineer and I am an accountant. (Sounds boring but I promise we are fun people...) He would like to flip cars. In my former life I was a SAHM and I loved that. I would love to be a SAHW.

Together we would like to be independently wealthy so that we could simply pursue personal interests and travel.

I want to be a beach bum!!!

I don't love what I do but I make good money.  What I want to do I don't have the talent for.  I'd like to be an artist like freebird or a historical costumer like Isabel at Prior Attire.  Either one of these would make me very happy.  But they take talent and skill that I don't have, as well as a disposition to work with fine details.  That is not me.  I am not detail oriented and I cannot focus on meticulous work.

I also would maybe have liked to be a lawyer just because I think it would have come in handy pretty often in my life and maybe I could have been a judge.  I think I would have been a good judge.

Now I am sort of wishing time away because I want to be retired and stay home and enjoy my house and my things and enjoy life but I would want to be financially secure enough to be relatively stress free.  Whatever I do or don't do I would live to live at the beach year round.  I want to go to sleep listening the the waves and wake up to the sun coming up over the water.

I like what I do, and I like the senior management, but I am getting frustrated with a couple of managers that act like children and I get caught having to listen to one of them gripe.

I am seriously considering retiring next year (April 2017 will be 10 years), but not sure what I will do with my time, and I have to figure that out before I do. I have had a couple of times in my life where I have been out of work between jobs, or had a sabatical where I didn't work, and about went nutty without having a routine and things I needed to be doing.

I would like to travel the world helping set up schools.

I would love to develop a travel business taking people on small group guided tours of major European cities. I could spend half my time creating the tours and half the time leading them.

Years ago I spent an evening with a National Geographic photographer and another time ended up having dinner with a travel food writer doing a story for Bon Appetit and always thought those would be incredible careers.
