Well, I had my dream job - I was a newspaper editor. I gave it up to stay with my wife. There was a moment when I debated did I want to keep my job or my wife. That was about 10 years ago though, and that job no longer really exists. I mean, it does, but it would be so different now, I know there is no going back.
Now I'm in marketing. It's hard to go from being a cynical journalist to marketing - I tend to think most marketing, and marketing hype, is BS. But it's a job that funds my hobbies.
Also, at one point, I thought I'd be able to be a house husband, but then my wife decided to take her career in a new direction that does not offer the same financial security.
