    Are you kidding me? If I could be ANYTHING it would be a professional Hollywood actress. Yup, the same thing I wanted to be as a child, I still want to be as an adult. I'd take TV or movies, makes no difference to me!

    I agree about sitting at the computer, I would be RICH! lol

    But I used to do Quality Assurance work for a company in Chicago working from home, making sure that Avon's print catalogs were the same as online catalogs for reps. Finding typo errors, wrong images, etc... I loved doing it and I got paid well.

    Anything from home, less than 30hrs week, working on the computer would make me happy. A job like Tracy had would be great...(I wonder if we have these in Canada hmm?)

    Also, Online Personal trainer, I luv' helping other reaching their fitness goals. I already do "live" personal training w/ a couple of women in my home town and I luv it...it's demanding, but quite rewarding I luv' seeing thems all excited when they tell me they have finally lifted that 50lb dumbell or lost an extra 2#.

    Writing or editing/proofreading. I'm really good at finding others' mistakes. (Not so good with my own. )

    Writing or reading. Anyway, something to do with words! I really wish I could get someone to pay me for all the reading I do, then I wouldn't feel so guilty about the time I spend reading (and it's a LOT).

    I've always wanted to be a veterinarian. I think I may try to get into vet school once I retire. U.C. Davis is close by, although it is not easy to get into.

    I enjoy writing fairly well so writing novels would be great fun. But that's pie in the sky dreaming.

    Realistically, I'd like to work from home two or three days a week once I have kids. At least for the first few years until the kids get into school. And work a few days at an office, so I get interaction with other adults. I'm an accountant which I do enjoy now I just have to find some place that will pay me well and let me work from home. Easier said than done.
    Have a nice day. Traci
