I also would have loved to study Forensic Science but I hated science in high school and only discovered how interesting it was when I was in university and it was too late!
Now, my dream job is to be a make-up artist (I’m registering tmrw, finally!!!), doing make-up for movies and then hopefully one day have my own cosmetics line.
I think you only live once so if you have the opportunity to do something you love then why not do it … and there’s no way in hell I’m going to be stuck at a desk, staring at a computer for the rest of my life!!

I have a friend who went into Archeology, Anthropology and Forensic Science. If you know where you want to go, she is into doing crime scene investigations with bone dating, she actually makes a really good salary. The people who don't make as much money are the ones you think of as in the field digging for "treasure" or bones from ancient cultures. They are only rich if the discover something amazing and world changing.
Sad that a lot of interesting careers don't pay more, because I HATE staring at a computer for hours on end. Every day when I get home from work I feel so drained and bored with my life. I want something more interesting than this!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I'm studying Art History and Painting, and I want to run and direct my own art gallery and curate art shows that consist of Medieval art pieces.
Right now, I'm working as an assistant to an archivist at a special collections library, which is dull and boring. In fact, I'm at work right now. Notice that I'm looking online and not cataloging boring photos.
Actually, I'm still working because my online database of photos is HUGE. I swear I'm working! Just hate most of the people I work with. I can't wait to be out of college and out of this crazy-conservative backwards town!!!
My dream jobs are:
1. professional surfer. I surf all the time, I just don't have the amazing talent to surf professionally. I will forever be a rec. surfer though.
2. ballet dancer. I have been a dancer since I was 3. I love to dance. Unfortunately I'm 5'3" and have awkward feet and so many ballet injuries that I could never ever ever dance professionally.
3. an aerobics instructor! I
love to work out and do aerobics. Anything that gets me into the gym makes me SUPER SUPER SUPER happy.
4. last but not least, a painter or a makeup artist. I love art. I love to paint. I love makeup. Makes sense, no?
