There are so many things to discuss about being a good childcare worker and how to interact with the kids in an appropriate, educational, and most importantly, fun manner, that I think it would make a really great book.

That sounds like a great idea, and very "marketable".
I've been told I'd make a great teacher by those I've tutored, but I'm pretty sure I would not. I was a TA in Advanced Mechanics one semester (my sole qualification was that I had passed the course myself the previous year) and that was a disaster. So maybe professional tutoring one-on-one or a very small group, I like that, but teaching a whole classroom? No way.
I would love to do set designs and costume designs for the theatre. I've done it once for an amateur company and it turned out pretty good in my humble opinion, but I don't have the stubbornness to get my ass established on the "scene" so that'll stay a dream.
The most realistic dream I have is of being an editor. I've been told I write a very clear and pleasant academic English, and those I've been proofreading for have been grateful enough. I am studying English at the University now so it's not impossible. That, or being a translator.
Or getting a PhD in English.
