This is one of my two goals too :D . Not a stay at home, but still a wife and a mom :) .

Yes and on my end, the mom part may be completely out of reach since I may not be able to have children at all, but I can always dream of one day
 
Angela,
this is what I have always advised my kids (youngest is your age):
In order to find your dream job:
- Find something that you love to do (what is your passion)
- Find something that you are good at (if it is your passion you are likely to dedicate a lot of time to become proficient)
- Find something that someone is willing to pay you for (money is not everything, but if it is sufficient to sustain you and it makes you happy - consider yourself blessed).

Yes, I have a dream job (granted every now and again personalities come and go just enough to make it interesting and cause me pause), but at the end of the day I can say yes to all three of the above.

God Bless

It's okay and thank you. Found this out last year and I've accepted it...plus I'm dating someone who doesn't know if he wants to have children even tho he loves them which helps

Just curious.

Not necessarily a current one. Even one you, once, had :) .

I'll start saying I wanted to be a veterinary, but then I changed idea, since I'm too sensible with medical conditions and I suffer of trypanophobia.

So, since I was ten, I want to be a cartoonist or a storyboarder/ cartoon characters designer.
Hope this doesn't sound silly.

to be honest ive been happy in almost every field ive worked in....

but i guess i have been putting a lot of thought into getting a workshop set up...


where i can start making appliances or furniture
maybe mix in some weapons or original ideas as art to give them away or sell them

id love to have that as a side job

and id also like to become part of a ministry and help in what way i can (looking into this already)

Writer preacher or public speaker for me. I'm on my phone or I'd punctuate all that.
 
I like my calling...read devotionals and bible to others. Sing praise n worship. Bring ppl to idea of a personal relationship and TESTIFY to it

Retirement To? Avg life length is 7 yrs past nothing...
Click to expand...
I could see if you worked until the age of 65-70, then after that do absolutely nothing, making it about 7 more years or less. I've known people who worked for 35-40 years then only living one year or less after retirement. Basically, worked themselves to death. The key is to retire at a younger age (if you can) then you can still work part time for a while, doing something that is not stressful, like being a greeter at Bass Pro Ships. ;)
