If I was not to complete med school I would become a teacher as well-Maths or Chemistry for high school students.

Novelist and a hobby multi-marathon runner per season, because I'd finally have time to go back to the marathon season running schedule I enjoyed during undergrad. Where for some reason - despite my heavy load of microbiology classes - I had a ridiculous amount of time to train for many, many half-marathons and a full. Medical school - sigh. It robbed me.

But I still love it! It's an abusive relationship.

I know quite a few women who are very happy as medical writers. It's a great way to work from home and have a balanced lifestyle.

I have no idea! I wish I knew so that I could go on and do it!

Either an epidemiologist working for the CDC (haha, like that would be any less stressful or time consuming!) or a Naturalist/teacher working at a Nature Conservancy, teaching school aged-children. Oh yes, or an organic farmer. That is my true dream. Buy a piece of land somewhere here in New England and work the soil. And my husband will be the Chef at the restaurant on site... well we all have to have a dream! I am still working on him on that one. He is a dentist and has no intention of leaving his field, but he is a great cook!

If not a doc, wat then? I love to dance and I would probably end up learning n performing for events/stage shows.. *sigh*! wishful thinkin

I am planning to attend medical school too in the future.
But, I can't imagine myself pursuing somenthing else since I always wanted to be a Doctor and I think of my job as temporal.

I've thought about this a lot. Realistically, I'd be an engineer of some sort. But in fantasy-world - I'd hit the jackpot with a lucrative stock, thereby funding my ability to stay home with my babies and have many of them while pursuing hobbies, traveling the world, and cultivating myself a la the renaissance - learn to play the harp, speak portugese, and engage in highly witty/interesting conversation. But alas. . . this is but a fantasy.

A zookeeper, or a landscape gardener. I love gardening so much--I saw an avertisement for a gardening job working at a large botanical garden. The responsibilities were to take care of the plants and make decisions about landscaping. The salary was $28,000--but my first reaction was, "someone would pay me that much for this job?" haha..maybe that's a sign.
I also have a lifelong interest in animals, and I'm currently trying to organize a volunteer position at the local zoo--even if it were just cleaning out animal cages for an hour a month, I would love it. Alternatively, I would love to work on a non-profit farm (which I guess is not really a job! maybe just a very time-consuming hobby...)
Interesting to hear other people's pipe dreams!

As I reached the end of my career, I kinda wished I had become a HS math or science teacher. I now know several math and science teachers who are making more than some family docs I know, and working better hours too.

My fantasy job was always to be the fiddler in a bluegrass band. I don't know how to play the fiddle, but the fiddler always looks like s/he is having the most fun.

I do not do medicine anymore, but I am really enjoying the volunteer jobs I have taken on: Doing taxes for low income families every Saturday during tax season, two committees at the medical school where I used to teach, serving funeral luncheons at my church, and the church sewing group where we sew items needed by community agencies. I finally took the Catholic church's class "Protecting God's Children" so I can volunteer at our school. I would like to tutor kids in math. I ended up teaching all three of my kids algebra because their algebra teacher had no clue. My kids said I was good at it.
