    what would be your dream job, if you didnt do what you did now?

    Hiya im back.... i know i only disapeared on thursday, but my issues have been resolved now. I was facing the prospect of being discontinued from my course at uni - due to some problems i had six months ago on my placement, i had then had to resit these outcomes on this placement and lynni got abit complacent about things, untill last week when i had my half way report and found out actually things werent too great ops: so i had to get my arse into gear. Which isnt the reason i went, just things were getting on top of me slightly...... so if ive been a bitch to anyone in my posts then im sorry ok? thats not an excuse, but is my reason as to why, just ask tim if u dont believe me


    Anyway ma rant is over

    If you didnt have the job you had now, or was in different circumstances what would be your career?

    Mine would be either the mounted police or training guide dogs for the blind not quite nursing is it? . I couldnt be in the mounted section anyway, cos 1) i can already ride and they prefer you not too and 2) you have to spend x number of years as a civvy policeperson, even then theres no guarentee that you will be accepted

    I would love to work in F1 as in any part of the team, particularly the Business side. I like cars, I like Motorsport, but I am not a mechanic...so if F1 was where I wanted to go, it'd have to be as a Business orientated person

    God knows. Realistically, owning a record shop appeals a fair bit. A self employed web designer would also be fantastic

    I really dont know though, to an extent I don't care that much, as long as it keeps me interested, pays well enough and doesn't interfere with my personal life at all. I'd also be able to wear what I want *tugs at shirt collar*

    Thats cool I'm an Archaeologist. It's good craic and very multi discipline i.e you can have the science side or the arts side or the computing/geophys side.
    It often doesnt pay that well though. Apparently even less in Britain.

    Incidentally i would like to be an engineer . I'd love to know all the stuff but not have to work in a normal engineering job.
    Probably something to do with one of high tech design jobs/NASA/space stuff or restoring old aeroplanes cars etc

    Also I wouldnt mind working in crafts doing fine woodwork/metalwork if it would pay well enough.

    Would be amazing wouldn't it Its one of the few jobs where the pay would bare no issue for me...I would almost work for peanuts, just the memories and interaction you'd get would be amazing.
