I, too, am a...Thanks for your enjoyable blog entry. I, too, am a retired teacher. My dream job has always been whatever I am doing at that time...otherwise why work at any job? My main jobs have been teaching in private, parochial, public and museum schools. I rarely had one job at a time my entire life. My first job, besides being a "student", was working in the elementary school cafeteria when I was in sixth grade. This job continued into seventh and eighth grades in order to eat a hot lunch every day. When that was no longer my "dream" job in ninth grade, I quit! That has been my way of dealing with work and jobs my entire 50 years of having jobs. If it was no longer a "dream", I left and moved to something else. I wrapped presents at a "dime" store when I was in high school eons ago. I sold shoes and was an executive secretary through college. I have directed a mother's day out program, worked as stay-at-home mom and neighborhood caregiver, presented teacher workshops, tutored, worked as a Kindergarten level religious education developer and coordinator, began a preschool and wrote the curriculum and taught three and four-year-olds. I have taught hundreds of students in classrooms, usually 20 - 24 at a time. Then I moved to 20,000 a year as the planetarium assistant director at our local science and history museum.I have had a rich and fulfilling life of "dream jobs". I wish the same to all who are just beginning the journey. Make each job your personal "dream job" OR move on and find it at another turn in the road.<br />Karen J Masseykjminspacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492127798687545694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7917245635820611026.post-9145846443810568732010-12-04T09:58:05.698-05:002010-12-04T09:58:05.698-05:00I really did have the dream job of a teacher like ...I really did have the dream job of a teacher like you but I was a K-1 teacher...yep, no assaults here & the summers to recuperate from being loved on too much!

Of course, I could be rich if I had a dollar for every time someone said to me, "If I had time I'd write a little book like yours." Alternatively I might win the million dollars.
