Will you please forgive my laziness in copying and pasting my answer to a previous question, which somehow relates to yours here. xxx

It had always been my dream and ambition to become a policewoman, but sadly due to a medical condition this was not possible... However I was encouraged to look at other opportunities within the police force, and ultimately studied and qualified as a forensic scientist within the police authority.

Currently unemployed because I’m now a stay at home mom, but my I chose my last job because it was extremely easy to get. I didn’t have to apply for it or go through an interview, my partners boss was desperate for employees and my partner put in a good word for me. I started working a week later. It was a great environment to work in and simple work.

Growing up I always wanted to be in the modeling and fashion industry. I did some modeling in college and graduated with a business degree thinking that I will be working in the model and fashion industry. I ended up marrying a pastor, became a pastor’s wife, had three kids, and served in church ministries. I went back to school and got my master in education and now teaching. If I can start all over again, I will not get married and make my dream come true.

"Did you choose your current job or line of work because of how much you would earn or because you loved it?" I'm one of the lucky ones because the answer is both. It worked out very well for me. The problem is I love it so much I can't stop! I don't need to work anymore but I'm addicted.

I picked my career because I loved raising my little sister… I was clueless and didn’t know anything about it or the benefits that come with the job. More than 20 years later… I still love ❤️ it!!

When I see that potential in earnings, I will not cease until I achieve.  And, when I'm succeeding, I'm loving every moment of it.

Hard to say. It's a little of both. I will say I've always valued satisfaction over profit motive. Life is simply to short to be unhappy. And I just don't need the money that badly anymore.

RedInnocent69 · Answer
