What’s Your Dream Job?

You heard me talk about the "Today" show segment called "If I Weren't On TV I'd Be A..."  It's what prompted Natalie Morales to visit Ocean County and work with the staff and animals at Popcorn Park Zoo.  She had once dreamed of being a veterinarian.

The piece got me thinking about what I would want to do if I weren't doing radio and voiceovers.  I'd want to be a teacher.   Working in education was actually the first career I ever dreamed of.  I'm fortunate to have had really good teachers along the way, so they surely inspired me to want to grow up to be just like them.  Plus, as a kid, I thought it must be so cool to make big red check marks on students' loose leaf paper and write the grade in the upper right corner.  I can't really explain why I was so fascinated by that part of the teachers' job.  Anyway, as we all know, life is a journey that often takes us to places we don't expect.  My career goal shifted and I have no regrets.  I'm happy to say I love what I do for a living.

Do you ever think of what you'd be doing if you weren't in  your current job?  What's your dream job?   If you won the lottery and wanted to do some kind of work, just for the experience and not for the money, what would it be?
