I wouldnt have a career. I would be a princess. I know that sounds really immature, but my whole life I have sworn that I was given the wrong parents and that I really was meant to be royalty. It went so far that I insisted that I was adopted and in no way could the parents I have really be my parents.

Now if I had a career I would be a race car driver. Yup, I have the need for speed.

You sound like my mom. She was not the daughter of a homemaker and a politician in a small farming town. She was actualy the daughter of a French contessa. Her family is about 1/2 German and she has many stereotypical German traits (a need for order, punctuality, etc) so we always tease her and say her father must a have been a Bavarian Baron then. She hates it.

For what it is worth, there are a LOT of Saudi princes. They would pay for your race cars too

Since I was 8, I wanted to be an archaeologist on the tomb of the first emperor of China. They may not open it in my lifetime, nor will they let a Western woman work on it, but maybe I will get to see it.


On the up side, I always wanted to be an archaeologist, so I am in grad school to be an archaeologist.

Fun! I took some classes and almost went back to school to study mesoamerican archaeology, but was sidetracked after taking a few pottery classes!

For a few years my son talked of being a paleontologist. He''s 7 right now so this was a plan beginning before kindergarten! lol Last fall, however, he decided to change his field to football and plans to play professionally, and says he''s going to buy, ''apartments and hot tubs.'' When I asked him about diamonds, he said he''d buy some of those too!

I''ve always wanted to be an Egyptologist. I even enrolled in college as an Archaeology major (later dropped it for English/History) and then contemplated going to grad school for it.

Jewelry designer, potter, interior designer, landscape design, actress. After going to some bodybuilding contests (my brother was in them) and watching the women''s fitness and figure competitions, I really wanted to do that for a while. Be a comedian. Annie Oakley.

I want to be a bodybuilder, too! Every summer I renew that dream, work pretty hard to build myself up, and then another Chicago winter comes aaaaaand . . . the momentum passes.
Maybe this year will be different!

My alternate careers would be a physician, interior designer/decorator or party planner. hahah.

You can do it Haven! You do way better than I-I don''t even get far enough to lose momentum when winter hits..my momentum took off years ago when I got pg, ha! I talk to my brother and he gets me all amped and raring to go and then that''s all the farther I get!

Maybe I really will pursue it this year, Packrat! I always tell DH that if we lived in a more temperate climate I'd be much thinner. We do a lot of outdoor sports when it's nice out, but as Chicagoans, "nice" is our shortest season. All I want to do in the winter is hibernate and eat mashed potatoes.

I answered this question earlier, but I only gave one alternate career, which was to be a rock star. In that same dream world, I would love to be a theoretical physicist. I have neither the talent nor the drive to hack it in either career in the real world, though.

I do satisfy both dreams in small ways, at least. I sing VERY LOUDLY in my car and in the shower, and in the house when DH isn't home. And I write science fiction for children based on what I would like to study as a physicist. That's about as close as I'll ever get.

The bodybuilding, though, that I *could* do if I really worked for it. My body reacts really well to lifting, if I wasn't so darn lazy I could be buff!

As much time as real me spends researching social problems, alter ego me would be an activist or politician and try to change the world.

a rock star.

Isn''t being a rock star an actual "job" in a lot of ways? I mean, don''t they travel around and sing the same songs over and over for months on end? Sorry to burst everyones'' rock star fantasies. Just seems like the glamour isn''t as great as the reality. Just like being a movie star. Yeah, they make big bucks and for endless hours of work. Of course, I wouldn''t mind $5 or $10 mill for a couple movies, it''s just that I''d be tempted to retire after a those couple ones.

Being a socialite would be easy. All I need to do is get a boob job and dye my hair. lol My skill at shopping and acting like a bimbo are already at the top of my resume.

I''ve always wanted to be a correspondent on a travel show. Travel to great places, discover what makes them great, interact with the locals and then tell you all about it

I would own a repurposed antique store....and it would be huge, and lucrative...and I could spend all my days surrounded by vintage items, and shopping for vintage stuff. Oh, that''d be heaven.

I want to be ''Leon Mege'' his artistic side not his temperament!
