Belated Friday Five

1. What is your current occupation? Is this what you chose to be doing at this point in your life? Why or why not?
I'm a Business Analyst finding my feet as a Project Manager in the Financial Services industry. Choices - what are choices anyway but responses to circumstances. I love my job (it's the creative but super obsessive side of me which helps me in projects!) and I love the working life - being able to meet people outside of church / uni / family and witness for God!

2. If time/talent/money were no object, what would your dream occupation be?
Something musical for sure - a Broadway Musical Director perhaps. Or I'd arrange for CDs and Christian functions.
In terms of a "lifestyle" as opposed to an "occupation" though, I'd want to be building up God's church full time either here or overseas!

3. What did/do your parents do for a living? Has this had any influence on your career choices?
My parents are both business-people and have always told me NEVER to start my own business. Absolutely a major influence!

4. Have you ever had to choose between having a career and having a family?
Not yet - I'm not married. I wouldn't mind being a housewife and mother - that is a full time occupation that never gets enough recognition! =)
There would be no contest though - what importance is a career anyway? If you have to choose that over your family, then I'd say your priorities are a little askew...

5. In your opinion, what is the easiest job in the world? What is the hardest? Why?
Good golly - easiest job would have to be data entry (I've seen it done and the hardest thing about it is staying awake!) and the hardest is teaching. Or anything where you have responsibility and control over shaping the future of youngsters - I guess this includes parenting too!
