I don't think I would ever have imagined being able to make money from what I do yet along imagine doing it back in the day, especially at school and I think my teachers would probably have wanted to put me off the idea. But right now it really suits my needs and interests and it's making me learn a lot about myself, the challenges, and just knowing vintage things are going off to a new home that's enough to make my day!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128754833604987577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096314476893239291.post-5070508586312086492014-09-06T17:34:02.896-04:002014-09-06T17:34:02.896-04:00See where would you get your blog posts without me...See where would you get your blog posts without me?! ;)<br /><br />I think the stress and the worry about getting the grades or onto a course was the one thing that made me switch so often between ideas - in school I never really had the confidence in my school work or my exam grades to believe I could really do a set career. <br /><br />Now an ice cream truck that would be fun. As long as you had a really funky song playing when you were driving around mind you ... and your 99's were really 99p.

I have it in my list of ideas but just haven't got around to writing it yet, guess I'll have to say you were my inspiration again... ;) <br /><br />I remember wanting to be a vet for the longest time and then changing my mind because I was sure I'd never get the grades. I would pick something I liked and then give up at the last moment because I would doubt if I could do it. Stupid really. <br /><br />The one job I always wanted to do was drive and ice cream truck and sell ice cream. I have a passion for ice cream :) ~ Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442431798716355494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096314476893239291.post-54876977125961726832014-09-05T12:00:26.641-04:002014-09-05T12:00:26.641-04:00For years I went back and fourth between wanting t...For years I went back and fourth between wanting to be a ballerina or a scientist. Haha! Eventually I decided to go with the science field because it was something I had dreamed of doing since I was little.

I went through a phase when I wanted to be a fighter pilot. I honestly don't know why I wanted to do that but it's still a wistful memory. Ha ha! I also wanted to be a teacher since I was young and forced my sister, friends, and stuffed animals to sit still and learn while I taught. I did actually grow up to be an elementary school teacher and have two degrees that go along with that. But then I changed my mind and switched to retail for a while. Now I'm contemplating another career jump and I've realized that for some people it's better if life has more of a free flow element to it.<br />:) AliceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725305148040050548noreply@blogger.com
