 Topic: Dream Job?

If you could wake up one morning and be anything in the world, What would you be?
I would like to be a crime scene invesigator.
Or i would just like to be rich so i can open a school/home for all the abandoned kids like that movie 'Madeline'
Or just enough money to open a safe house for all the brothers and sisters of abused children that have been taken away from their homes.. I would hire all the loveliest poeple and give the kids everything they deserve. Wish i was as rich as Angelina Jolie.

I'd be a multi millionaire and DH and I would start working on having a heap of kids.
One thing I'd love to do if we had enough money is build affordable housing to sell to NZ families like my own that can't afford a mortgage. We would not sell for a profit and there would be rules of sale so that no "rich" people or investors could buy.
If I had enough money so I didn't need to work I'd do more volunteering. I'd like to help out in the homes for pregnant teenagers.
Oh and DH and I want to have a redecorating competition - kind of like dream home - but him vs me. We'd start with the same amount of cash to buy and do up a house and then we'd sell them and the person that sells their house for the most wins.

Crime Scene Investigator for me too - after having been a cop for a while.
I'm delaying the second part of that dream until next year but still working towards the first part at least! (hopefully in 5 years I should be qualified!)

I would build the north canterbury animal rescue centre and I would run a kennels and cattery to cover the costs (or some of the costs) of housing the rescue animals. I would also like to rehabilitate mistreated dogs so that they can be rehomed.

Here they are called either Crime Scene Analysts or Attendants or Scene of Crime Officers...all covers that sort of spectrum.
You need to a complete a science degree with Chemistry and Biochemistry (chemistry for the physical biochem for the DNA side), very occassionally people get through without tese. Then you need to apply for the PostGrad Forensic diploma. If you want to go further into research etc you go onto the Masters in Forensics. Those are at Auckland...not sure what other Uni's offer.
It's a nonsworn police role. I managed to find out some of the finer details as there was a job going recently.

Hrmmm...I'd be completely selfish, unlike most of you!! I would be a fully qualified lawyer with my own practice, who dabbles in renovations on the side - buying rundown houses, renovating them and selling them again. Just cos I love that kind of thing. Either way, I'd have enough money to do whatever I wanted.

I'm kinda selfish too.
I'd love to have enough money to own a nice sized farm with horses and be a teacher.
I'm working my way there. The farm idea won't happen for many many years though

Firstly I'd have to be a millionaire and I would start a retreat for under privileged children where there would be all sorts of activities and outings (like a summer camp) and there would be animals that they could take care of (horses, sheep, chickens, ducks you name it we'll have it) 
My DF and I would also like to open a business so he could build and sell his props (he's a prop builder - obviously  ) and also run weekend events for the LARPing Community in places that actually look like they belong in that era (1920's etc) rather than just in a local hall done up to look like it...so setting the scene, so to speak... it'd be run like a proper town with general stores, restaurants, hotels etc... even horses and carriages roaming the streets
Ahhhh, luckily dreams are free otherwise that would have cost me an arm and a leg

I always wanted to be a herbalist and potter around in my own beautifully maintained gardens. So of course I'd have to be rich so I wouldn't have to worry about making money out of my chosen profession

I'd like to have my own luxury B&B, where I can serve gourmet meals that i've cooked to my guests, and offer them a massage if they want one.

I actaully know someone IRL who used to be CSI - she changed jobs. It's heaps more stressful and tons less fun that on TV
I'd like to be an astronaut - wouldn't it be cool to fly to the moon or Mars or somewhere?

Mine would be midwife and would love to have a place for pregnant teens too.
Just handed in my application for midwifery so fingers crossed for me.
