Describe your "Dream Job"
I’m 23 years old, and so far I’ve had a lot of “dream jobs” in my dreams. I think every time we grow up, we change our concept of which job would be “The dream job” for us. That’s not a bad thing, we are always changing our minds and maybe, just maybe my dream job is not going be the same 10 or 20 years from now because I’m not going have the same aspirations or ambitions. As always, it all depends on who you are at that point of your life.
When I was 4 or maybe 5 years old, I wanted to be a veterinarian because I loved animals. Actually I still love them, but as I grew old, I realized that I couldn’t be a veterinarian because I would cry all the time thinking “Oh my god, poor little thing”. At that point, I said to myself “Kerly, you know you would panic and cry your guts out instead of saving that animal’s life, that is not being a good veterinarian!”, so I stopped thinking that my dream job would be being a vet.
When I was a teenager not older than 15 years old, I wanted to be a doctor, but not any kind of doctor; I wanted to be an Obstetrician. Being a doctor was everything for me, and I used to imagine myself on a hospital at 3 a.m. bringing a baby to this world; that’s exciting or not? I even watched every program in Discovery Channel about this subject. I thought that the best part of being an Obstetrician was that I could be around babies and pregnant women all the time. On the other hand, when I knew the worst part - the part that scared me, and made me re-think everything again – I said to myself “Kerly, think again, what you want to do with your life because this is not gonna work”. To become an Obstetrician I had to study maybe 10 years –or more-, and I really hate studying, and isn’t just 10 years, you have to keep studying all your life because everyday a new treatment, medicine or procedure comes out and you have to keep updating yourself, forever. Not exciting at all.
For some time I didn’t know what to do
