What do you do for a living now? If you could be anything (no limits), what would you be? What did you always want to be when you 'grew up'? x

I am due to retire next year but I might keep on working.
All my life I wish I had done something different from doing a boring business and admin course combined with typing! My mother insisted it was the right thing to do and I hated it. However, I have had loads of quite interesting jobs, the best one involving working for an airline and getting to travel.
I wish I had trained to be a vet or at least a vetinerary nurse or done something involving animals.
I have several companys, car lots, property developement, premium rate lines, and a few other things which pretty much cover all bases and it pays well so I have a fair standard of living and it's varied too so quite enjoyable.
However I always wanted to be a Historian:) Got two good degrees to go in that direction but then certain things got in the way and I never fulfilled my ambition. I do however write and am currently working on a historical book, so I've sort of got there in a roundabout way.
I work for BT in an office job, which I really enjoy - I am very lucky. I also write part time for specialist (drums and guitars) music magazines, as well as general music, TV and women's magazines.
Ideally I'd earn enough to do that full time, and in a totalluy ideal wold, it would give me two or three days off a week to go hot air ballooning. Only been once, evelen years ago, but I can see why people can be obsessed by it, and want to do nothing else.
When i was little I wanted to be a nurse, a vet, a teacher or a wildlife photographer. I now work in an admin role, but I am very lucky that i am able to adapt the role to suit what I want to do and I work closely with social services, mental health teams, the police, etc.
I think my ideal job would be running a little country village pub with my husband ;-)
I ended up as a florist but now I am a stay-at-home-mum.
When I was younger I wanted to be a policewoman. At 5'2" I was considered too short, but of course nowadays it isn't considered a problem. I now have the option of becoming a mature student at college, but have no idea as to what to do ~ everything looks interesting!
