What *would* you do for a living?
 

In the same tradition as "who's the ugliest person in the world" and "who's the hottest person in the world" threads, comes the sequel to this thread

What would you do for a living, having the knowledge you have now from your current job?

nothing

My current job doesn't give me the skills to do what I WOULD be doing (which is also, coincidentally, what I PLAN to be doing).

I'm going to become a life coach.

My job as sysadmin doesn't help me do that, it's everything else I've been doing outside of IT over the years that has helped me move forward with life coaching.

WoW

I'm pretty much with you on the "Nothing" front.


There's nothing quite like IT to rekindle ones hatred of humanity.

I would have my own business, and surround myself with scantily clad hot chicks, and make the corporate uniform something along the lines of a Princess Leia Gold Bra outfit, and the business would do stuff, that people wanted, so they'd give us money.

Hmm - maybe I'd be a pimp?

I would really love to own custom car/bike shop, something along the lines of westcoast choppers. That would be the shit.

Did every guy want to be a playboy photographer when they got older or was that just me?

I'd drive a Pisten Bully, spend a lot of time riding and drinking.

Musician - and I already do that, but it would nice to be able to just play and not have to worry about earning money...

Pixie

I'd be a writer.

Wife would go out and work, I'd look after the kids and write epic novels... mostly about random sexual adventures.

Seriously though, I'd write.
:D

A wise man once said to me, 'I didn't get into IT to deal with people'

As to the question, two words. American Chopper.

I would be a farmer

Minor eastern european royalty

a small living allowance (so could stop working when I didn't want to) a tittle to get into the swanky parties. And no gives a damn who the hell you are. So could play WoW and have my own personal lab for genetic modification. Island of Dr Morue (sp) here I come

I wouldn't have spent five years and over 20k of my father's money by going to university.

I would have done a beauty therapist course (or whatever the hell they're called) and I'd be working in one of the duty free cosmetic counters in one of the world's biggest international airports (I really like airports).

I mean, I love history, and I've loved studying. But I've only realised this year that I don't want to work in an office, and I don't want to become an historian.

Snake, you want to be a life coach, help me!

You'd buy parts out of a catalog and abuse other people putting them together?

id b a "professional" ? athlete in some sport with lots of prize money ( guess i chose the wrong sporting code.. )

A Formula 1 driver :D

Although a job in Top Gear like Jeremy Clarckson wouldn't be bad either!

Id swap places with dean barker , russel coutts , brad butterworth, richie mccaw or michael schumacher.
Non sporting job - study great white sharks.

Head of operations at Area51, so I could finally get to the bottom of what the hell is going on over there..

You can add that one to my list aswell.

Yes, don't forget the drinking of the beer.

In no particular order:

* Army
* Pilot
* Carbon Fiber Fabricationist
* Automotive Engineer
* Mechanic
* Builder
* Police

I'm very much a hands on person. It's just a fact that I did well in skool that I am where I am. I have plans to get out... *looks sideways*

Artist

I spend my days wallowing in paint, pastel, and turps creating masterpieces and I'd be the new Rennaisance for the art world

Wait, wait, wait.

You were derisive of someone else using their parents as guarantors for a house in another thread because they weren't working & paying for it themselves...while your dad is paying for your uni fees?

Serious requests will be treated seriously, but you have to contact me offsite. Email address is in my profile.

Cheers

im really really thinking about geocaching/photography.
that way i could combine my love of weed with my love of walking about looking at nature. does anyone know anything about geocaching?

Seen what these guys have to say about life coaching?

scratch that - just read about geocaching, and its not what i thought it was.
what is it when you map out places for map companies? cartography i guess?

Own a bar/club/restaurant

(preferably one with girls that dance in cages)

Yes and Yes. It's a long story which doesn't belong in this thread. If you are that interested, you can icq me.

I might just take you up on that. I have seriously lost direction and speaking to somebody impartial sounds very appealing. Thanks :)

dealer

Casino work is a lofty aspiration for you PK

I think he means cars.

Music for me, of course.

Philanthropist

Explorer. On Earth or in space.

I wouldn't mind George Bush's job

I want to make games, and it's going to happen...eventually.
