What *would* you do for a living? - Page 2

Perfk · 26th July 2005, 13:15

pro sportsperson (equestrian/showjumping)

alternately live a life of leisure & be an amatuer sportsperson

there are lots of other jobs that appeal
but those are in the 'dream' class
(ie: the will-never-happen class)

Lightspeed · 26th July 2005, 13:19

Hard to say really.

I wouldn't mind being a research scientist... studying quantum physics, time... maybe cosmology. Of course, I'd need supportive parents and a good education for that. I probably would have had to avoid the weed and acid too.

Otherwise... maybe counselling. Or engineering. Probably not IT. Statistics would be fun, perhaps tied in with philanthropy.

Owning a cafe on the coast of Spain ( not oil covered ) appeals as well.

Saladin · 26th July 2005, 13:22

I would have liked to be a skydiving instructor. Jumping out of planes with hot foreign women strapped to my chest!

wasp · 26th July 2005, 13:26

Chef or a gardner

Macca@Work · 26th July 2005, 13:40

If i wasn't so lazy I'd be working for myself doing pc repairs..

Plus you get to have "Jumpmaster" on your business card.

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!

Pro footballer.

Retire at 35ish, live a life of leisure after that.

Ajax · 26th July 2005, 14:02

Playing in the NBA would be pretty sweet.
Could also handle pro squash.

Juju · 26th July 2005, 14:02

Entrepreneur. Which I will be, when I get back from my OE damnit.

Race driver would be fun too.

Edit: Pro freestyle skiier... thats where I would be.

eff tee · 26th July 2005, 14:07

Have horses, lots of them. And have them make lots and lots of money.
Enough to support my passion for houses and cars.

xor · 26th July 2005, 14:24

I'd like to review books, music, movies

benn · 26th July 2005, 14:25

Punk/rap motherfucker during the day, and streetrunning heatpacking anarchist by night.

That'd use up most of my angst, so one day I could retire and listen to Bach.

_Incubus_ · 26th July 2005, 14:27

Pro Golfer.

Jodi · 26th July 2005, 14:55

Pretty sure I have when suitable roles have come up in the past. I'm about to indulge in a period of ignoring the job openings and learning new tools though, so I won't be getting hired for a bit

Moo Redux · 26th July 2005, 16:47

I'll retire being a surgeon in my mid 50s and run for Prime Minister... people will call me the ginger brash. Except by then my hair will probably be blonde

leadinjector · 26th July 2005, 16:48

Pro snowboarder or a Winemaker

PsyK · 26th July 2005, 17:08

Become a good enough comedian that a large tv network gives me a show. The show would be basically about nothing. after a decent amount of seasons it'll collapse, leaving me the rest of my life to spend doing nothing in a multi-million dollar mansion.

MadLep · 26th July 2005, 17:16

I wanna be one of those people off some sitcom where they just hang out, have all kinds of zany adventures - but never seem to ever work and still have money and a good standard of living all the time.

Lurchy · 26th July 2005, 17:41

Golden Teapot · 26th July 2005, 21:57

I'd like to own "Club Seventeen" and personally audition all of the actresses.

Actually, being an actuary is the perfect job for me - no desire to change.

Wolfy · 26th July 2005, 22:14

I'd be a groundsman. Not for anywhere big - the showgrounds here in Palmy would suit me perfectly.

Seriously, they have the crusiest jobs and after about 10 minutes work they go take a half hour smoko break. Walking round barefoot on a fresh green rugby feild would be awesome and its something I'd like to do in a few years.

Failing that I'd be a car dealer soley dealing in Porsches.
