If I Wasn't A Teacher

This is my 7th year of teaching.  I had wanted to be a teacher since approximately the 1st grade.  Sure there were other things I considered between 1st grade & 12th grade (lawyer, forensic photographer, interior designer, event planner) but ultimately I applied to only one college the summer between my junior & senior year & got in.  

I applied to the top teaching college in the state & went in with a declared education major.  Granted when I started college I went in as an elementary major & graduated with a major in secondary social studies education.  I had even considered changing my major in college with only about a year left, obviously I did not.  I had thought about changing it to travel & tourism but felt that I had come so far that I owed it to myself to see it through since I had come so far.

There have been multiple times since starting my career even that I have considered getting out of education.  I even once called an Air Force recruiter as well as did 3 semesters of grad school in a non-education field.  So what would I do if I wasn't a teacher?

1. Real Estate
Since about my first year of teaching I have considered getting my real estate license and either doing it on the side and/or eventually doing it full time.  I actually plan on getting my license for real over the summer.

2. Athletic Organization

My 3 semesters of grad school were for communications.  I had wanted to do social media/PR/community outreach for an athletic organization.

3. Travel

I don't know exactly what this one would be but something involving travel.  Getting paid to blog/travel, working for a travel agency, I pitched to my cousin that we should start a company that plans surprise trips for people (they would pick how they wanted to travel/how long/and a general region -- we'd do the rest.)

4. Economically Disadvantaged

The longer I'm gone the more I realize how much I loved working with my kids in Houston.  I don't particularly love working in the classroom anymore though.  I would love to work with children who come from economically disadvantaged families & help them.  Whether that be getting into college, finding a career path, getting them into a better life.

5. Planning/Organizing

This one is also vague ha.  I love organizing & planning things.  So this could fall under pretty much any & all of the categories in different ways.

If you could do anything, what would you do?  Are you currently working in your dream job?
