LOL, FL!
I always wanted to be a mom and I am. I have worked a variety of jobs and aside from waiting tables, I most enjoyed working with a national financial management company. If the health stuff around here was better situated, I'd consider going back to school to return to that field more qualified.
ETA: The other line of work I'd be interested in, I have no idea what the actual name is. I'm very good at organization and minute detail (LOL, shut up longsuffering
) - I can see where you can change processes and implement measures that will increase productivity and efficiency, that sort of thing. At my last job, my department was charged with having a 5% increase in productivity and moving product out, at our year end departmental meeting - I'd just started working there. After being there for less than a month, I gained permission to rip the department apart, and reorganized it so that we were able to pick up our productivity considerably. I was able to show my bosses where just little tweaks in the way my department was doing things, in the beginning, and where another couple of tweaks in a directly related deparment, increased productivity in both departments and we were soon out of a huge backlog.
I implemented a bunch of other tweaks throughout the year and by the time we had our year end departmental meeting, our productivity had increased 55%. I'd done similar things in other jobs. But it was this job that really got me interested in that sort of thing. I took a great deal of pride in blowing all previous records for productivity out of the water and making that department hum along at top speed and with excellent results. I'd like to do more of that.
When my husband was managing a department in his first field, I was able to point out things to him about the way the department was organized and how several small changes would be helpful and increase productivity. He implemented most of my suggestions and the department took off and his bosses were very happy.
What Were/Are Your Dream Jobs?
