What job did you want to have when you left School

I was fascinated with electronics and wanted to join the RAF as an electronic engineer in RF or Radar

What job do you actually do now

Im an IT Technical Project Manager: I implement infrastructure projects such as SAN's, Windows Servers, Oracle, AIX, HPUX, Enterprise Monitoring, blah blah blah

My forte is trouble shooting

What job do you wish you had (One serious and one aspirational)

I'd like to research Quantum Mechanics or study Philosophy.

My aspirational is Standup Comedian, Rock Star, or to be a Radio DJ

When I left school I desired to be an actor.
I`m actually a call center team leader.
Although I`ve studied law, I didn`t got the degree, but I keep studying internacional trading administration.
And I`d like to work in something related.
On the other hand, (and I know that someday I`ll do it), I`d like to be a primatologist, studying orangutans and chimpanzees in their environment.
So u know, if u wanna start supporting the cause, you`re welcome!

Yes, I`m a primate, what do you think you are?

That sounds like it could be a challenging but rewarding job. I'd love to spend some time doing that :!:

Most people dont realise that there is a big difference between a chimpanzee, a monkey, an orangutan etc .....

Yes, that`s right TheGuru, they say that they`re all "monkeys" af if they were all the same. Most people don`t know that great apes think and feel.
By the way, the chimp of your picture is from Monkey World, isn`t it?

At school I wanted to be an Electrical Engineer.

Now I am an Electrical Leading Hand/Planner for a big steel company. Sort of what I wanted but I can actually fix stuff myself rather than just telling other what to do.

I really wish I'd stuck with acting.
I used to be pretty good at that.

Love scenes with Angelina Jolie. ohhh baby....... =P~

Default Re: What Job?

i always wanted to be a nurse, cause my mom was one, and loved patching people up when they hurt themselves.

i currently work for a medical company as a PA.

i wish i could work in a more creative environment. i worked for an events and promotions company a few years back and loved it. not good pay ... unless u own the company!

i really wish i could work on a paradise island where its always warm, has great pay and no stress to daily tasks.
