    I'm currently in finance and feel zero reward from my work anymore. I'd like to go back to school and become a community college professor. And this isn't wishful thinking; it's part of the realization I came to during my last few months of "life sucks meditation."

    I want a rewarding career. One in which I feel like I made a difference in someone's life instead of being a cog in the financial money machine....I am fairly well spoken, and know business/finance well now, so I'd like to teach intro to business, finance and excel at a community college. I'd also like to find an area that has a need for a HS soccer coach. Dying to coach soccer at the HS level.

    I am going to put this plan into motion in March at the latest (will be moving back to NC by then), so my life is about to change drastically :) I just hope I can afford the transition; it's easy to get accustomed to a certain "level of lifestyle", but that needed to change anyway...

    No, that's not better 'cause then you are tied to one set of boos for the rest of your life. Being a fitter lets you play with all manner of **** with no strings attached.

    Ahem, not really what we're after here, is it... you're 95% of the way there as it stands :D

    Me? I kinda like what I'm doing now. Except for the crazy hours. And the lousy benefits. And the fact that we haven't gotten a $^%^&* raise since dirt was new. And the fact tha...
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I'd be a private detective in Hawaii, live on a beach front property (for free), drive a Ferrari as my daily transportation, date fabulous looking women, and on the side, write a book on how to be a world-class detective.

    Currently a student, so no career yet, but I'm working on my B.S. in Psychology and eventually a grad degree in behavioral neuroscience so I can get into psychoneurology and work with patients with mental disorders and neurological ailments which inhibit brain function and behavior. Right now at UCF the psychology department in conducting research in which the element tin might actually be able to dramatically slow down neurodegeneration in the brain to limit, or at least prolong the development of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and I'm hoping to get involved with that as a good starting point. There actually isn't a ton of money in this, but I have a great interest in it and I get to help and work with people, so that works for me!

    I'm a mechanic at a wastewater plant now, which isn't as bad as you would think. If I could do anything I think I'd cook for a living or own a small high end audio store or maybe a surf shop.

    Yeah, maybe I can figure out why it's so hard to resist upgrading once you start this hobby of ours!
