I want to be one of those CEOs who completely drags a company down into the ground and then happily collects his multi-million dollar severance package…I would only need to work for one more year….If that’s not available I’ll be an ice cream taster for Dreyer’s/Edy’s or Ben&Jerry’s :-)

Author of fabulous novels, Performer of must-hear jazz concerts, and…. maybe a neuroscientist, but that sounds like too much work.

I love what I am: Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Teacher.

In a perfect world though, I could afford to work only freelance.

I wouldn’t change for a second what I do (stay at home mom) though this job does not receive the respect that it deserves. A day in the life of a National Geographic photographer would fulfil a lifelong dream of mine.

@aug: Lucky, your dream is one that can be accomplished anytime. Write a little each day! :)

@asmo: Girl, what do you think I’m doing here?!?
May not be productive, exactly, but at least it keeps the old muscles flexed :)

asmonet's avatar

Hahaha point taken. :)
