And I love the title "imagineer". :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/3#post-1833067 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 07:31:37 +0000 Kimberlybee 1833067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meow: That's such an inspiring story! Thanks for sharing. I will remember your advice in the new few months as I try to return to the workforce from my temporary SAHM status. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1833056 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 07:13:10 +0000 MrsRoo 1833056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyMats: that would be an awesome dream job. DHs cousin is an imagineer and we love going to the parks with him and hearing all the little secrets. He LOVES his job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1833049 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 07:08:52 +0000 MrsRoo 1833049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: @daniellemybelle: high five! I'm 7 months from graduating and becoming a sonographer! :happy: And that's my dream *actual job*. </p> <p>However, if it was really anything I ever wanted, I'd be a SAHM with an awesome crafty blog, be able to be at all my kids school things, and still be put together and a fabulous wife. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1833018 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 03:20:32 +0000 BabyMats 1833018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to work for Disney and be an imagineer. Design the rides and all the other things in the parks or the resorts. They keep it super top secret. My friend's husband does it and it just sounds awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1833016 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 03:02:34 +0000 Kemma 1833016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be a back-up dancer / singer for Tina Turner - love me some Proud Mary!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1833013 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 01:52:29 +0000 Sapphiresun 1833013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Haha, no. Pretty much every case that's ever on TV like that where there's a Sherlock Holmes style murder mystery would be the case of a lifetime for someone in my position. What I actually do is pretty software based from existing psychological theory at this point, so lots of sitting in my cubicle looking at maps and databases, then sometimes making predictions. Which is pretty cool when you get it right, but my files are often more like auto thefts or commercial B&amp;Es than crime of the century serial killers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1831680 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:31:40 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1831680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meow: Yes! Yes it does.

That's like the best pop start combination ever!</p> <p>@ballerinabee: Wow. I am completely fascinated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1831427 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:28:33 +0000 .twist. 1831427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ballerinabee: Woah! Thank you for sharing that. That is seriously awesome! I am not nearly smart enough to do those things. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1831350 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:55:43 +0000 ballerinabee 1831350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: That's what I started out wanting to do! Damn you, Silence of the Lambs (I have read that book so many times...)! I ended up figuring out that psychology was not for me (couldn't emotionally distance myself from my patients), so I changed career paths before I got my Ph.D.</p> <p>@Sapphiresun: I know it's not like it is on tv, but I wish I could have done it. </p> <p>My dream job would be forensic anthropologist. I went on to field school in Portugal and we spent a month excavating a 5,000 year old tomb and then 2 weeks in the lab analyzing bones. My first trowel full of dirt had a tooth in it. I also pieced together an infant skull, which was heartbreaking but amazing all at the same time. Over the years of excavating that tomb, they've individuated 127 individual human beings, and put together some fairly complete skeletons (the tomb had been raided at some point (scavenged / grave robbers), then a barn had been built over it, so the first skeletons unearthed were rabbit and bovine). Bones have always fascinated me, so I geeked out on that dig. </p> <p>I don't have the finances to go back and do an undergrad major in osteology and years of field school and undergrad research in order to get into one of the few (maybe 5 now?) forensic anthro / osteo Ph.D. programs. I tried after that dig, but the answer was always the same - "you're smart, you have great psych education, research experience and publications, but we have so many candidates that are a better match because they majored in / researched / published in the field". I'll always have that dig, though! </p> <p>Picture below is what some of the crushed bones we recovered looked like. We cleaned them in the lab and worked to piece them back together, like a jigsaw puzzle. The second picture is of the tomb itself, a "dolmen", just outside of Loures, Portugal. And the third picture is combing through the sifter looking for teeth and small bone fragments, plus any other goodies (idols / figurines, stone tools, etc.). </p> [attach=5404/14/naq1wx.600x453.bones.jpg] [attach=5404/14/naq1wz.600x453.dolmen.jpg] [attach=5404/14/naq1x0.600x453.sifting.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1831338 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:48:26 +0000 sunny 1831338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: I know someone who works at Dreamworks on animated films and she gets to go to the premieres! </p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I would love to dance too except I also can't dance. Beyonce or Britney circa 1999 with the vocal chops of Mariah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1831328 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:44:53 +0000 BananaPancakes 1831328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: I have a friends who does this. She works for Hollyscoop and Maria Menounos is her boss. Sometimes it looks fun, but she works a TON. </p> <p>And I'd work for Pixar. Toy Story literally changed my life as an 11 year old. I wanted to be an animator for years after that and the longing to be a part of it is still there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1831169 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:31:12 +0000 blackbird 1831169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, i don't even know. I'm so burnt out on trying to manage my *real* career, I haven't put any thoughts into a fantasy career :wink:</p> <p>@meow, one of the very limited occurrences at my job, yet super cool aspects is when we get feedback from military pilots on the products we make. Every once in awhile, they make an appearance to thank us in person or talk to us about what capabilities they want :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1830763 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 10:17:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1830763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I do play piano!</p> <p>I picture myself being a badass singer and piano player and songwriter (like, someone who is known for actually being an artist, not just a pretty face with autotune), but I also want to be able to dance choreographed routines on stage and wear really awesome outfits.</p> <p>But, I guess Norah Jones type music is probably more realistic for me since I can't dance. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1830718 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 10:01:26 +0000 .twist. 1830718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: ooooooh. well, fanfiction are usually websites dedicated to a certain niche (for you that might be your fav soap) and it's full of people who want to write for soap operas. So, you'd go there and write and share your stories with others like you. </p> <p>For example, Harry Potter has a HUGE fanfiction following. Websites dedicated to people who want to expand the world of J.K. Rowling and write their own adventures in the HP world. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1830672 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:39:20 +0000 AmandaB8 1830672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would manage a Habitat for Humanity kind of thing for the homeless.

I didn't study this in college because at the time at least I knew it was an oversaturated highly competitive field :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1830645 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:19:54 +0000 .twist. 1830645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: No! I haven't. Sounds very interesting though! I'm haven't had a lot of time to put into my true crime hobby these days. :/</p> <p>@beaker: HAH. I think that would be very accurate for me actually... </p> <p>@Sapphiresun: WOAH! That is so awesome! I'm sure it's not quite so glamorous and probably less moments of eureka! "OMG! LIGHTBULB! WE KNOW THE BAD GUY &amp; HIS LOCATION &amp; HIS VICTIMS &amp; HIS MOTHER'S, MOM'S MAIDEN'S NAME!" Is it a lot more like a regular desk job?</p> <p>@looch: Do you write any fanfiction? I mean, that could really fill the need to do that if you don't already?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1830584 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:48:36 +0000 MrsBrewer 1830584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dream job would be sitting on Pinterest all day, in the DIY section, and have unlimited access to Joann Fabric/Michaels and make anything and everything that I wanted all day. Then sell it online to make money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1830576 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:44:48 +0000 Mommy Finger 1830576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had asked me when I was a little younger, I would have said actor, either in movies or on Broadway. But now that I've learned what I really like, it would be something with food. I would really love to be a recipe tester like something from America's Test Kitchen. I'm fascinated by food science and how to make a recipe better. I would love to just cook all sorts of things and have someone else pick up the bill for the ingredients. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1830575 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:44:39 +0000 looch 1830575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to be a writer for a soap opera.

But since I can't write, explain things well, or finish projects, I don't think it would work out well. Also, I want to be able to make enough money to travel a lot, so that's another roadblock. :bummed:</p> <p>Basically, I want to make a lot of money to sit and home and do crafty things all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1830557 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:35:04 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1830557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: yeah, I want that job too.

I might have more then one host with me but it wouldn't be like the view where we just sat around and blabbed...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-could-you-wouldfantasy-job/page/2#post-1830465 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 07:44:40 +0000 MrsTiz 1830465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Umm, in your dream job would you need a co-worker?
