El Presidente Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 My eldest stumped me with this question yesterday and I didn't have any ready answers. I doubt I could work for anyone else....given I don't think I would hire myself anyway All in all I doubt that I could do any other line of work which matches my own strengths and takes advantage of my weaknesses. I have always hankered to own and run a fine Cigar & Wine Fly Fishing resort in a tropical climate. 8 weekly guests. I suspect I would be dead or broke in a year....possibly both. I would however go out with a smile on my face.
MIKA27 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 What a great question. With this in mind, if I could wind back the clock and start over with education and a steady head with direction etc, I'd love to be a Cryptozoologist or a Doctor of sorts. If I were to just drop what I am doing right now and start over with something else, I'd easily say I'd love to be a Firefighter with the MFB (I am trying out this year BTW). Or if I had the funds, I'd love to head off to Chile (La Serena) and open up my own Coffee/Cigar bar on the beach there for two reasons: 1/- There is not a decent coffee to be found ANYWHERE in Chile, everyone has 'Nescafe' instant and 2/ - There aren't enough places to buy a decent cigar other than LCDH in Santiago at the W Hotel.
Rehman Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Spent 30 years in journalism and letters when I'd rather have been a train driver.
bacalao Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I would have definitely enjoyed to be an airline pilot. See the world on someone else's dime and most stewardess don't look have bad either. Duty free smokes and liquor to sweeten the pot.
Puros Y Vino Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I've made my career in IT but I was born with artistic skills which I have put aside when I decided it couldn't pay the bills. I would love to do something with the innate skill I have. That and maybe something to do with cigars.
First Lady Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Wife of a millionare for some reason I just know I would have been fantastic at it
Holysmokes Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I would love to be a multi-instrumentalist session musician.
aes8 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Mine ????? or el Pres If I got Rob's job then I get to work with you but if I took your job then I'd be stuck with Rob and Ken
El Presidente Posted April 28, 2011 Author Posted April 28, 2011 Wife of a millionare for some reason I just know I would have been fantastic at it Professional Leech? You have sold yourself short honey! You will be a multi millionaire one day in your own right! I have often wondered what it would be like being married to you. I suspect it would be a "vibrant" relationship ending suddenly in my death within 6-12 months. It would be fun for the brief time it lasted

First Lady Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Trust me having to work with both of them would cause you to drink....

I nag you at work only and we still love eachother... we will also last longer this way as well .... 9 years this year honey

I nag you at work only and we still love eachother... we will also last longer this way as well .... 9 years this year honey Lisa, you know you and Rob love each other!! At least it's not like when Sir Winston Churchill and Lady Astor (I believe that's who) who both couldn't stand each other but both put up a united front for the sake of rallying England on against Adolph and his funyons... *After they both stood together to inspire their British populace she said to him in private..."If I was married to you I'd pour arsenic in your tea!" Sir Winston replied, "Lady, if I was married to you I'd drink it!"
Vortigan Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 This is such a good question.Can I be greedy and have two options? If it was based on talents/skills that I've developed (such as they are) post school then I'd want to be a sound engineer or record producer,anything really in or around a studio.But if I could actually get in a DeLorean,go back and have my chance again I'd focus hard on what I was good at and want to write professionally in some capacity.Oh and I always fancied the idea of being a lawyer too! *ducks to avoid the the things being thrown*
Vortigan Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I would have definitely enjoyed to be an airline pilot. See the world on someone else's dime and most stewardess don't look have bad either. Duty free smokes and liquor to sweeten the pot. Although THIS is hard to argue with!!.......yes,very appealing
leojvs Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I am actually in the process of a career swap as we speak. I am in aircraft maintenance and starting a Bachelor of Science, looking at either Env Sci or Marine Biologist. Best thing is my current employer is paying for it all. All I have to do is pass. Or I pay it back.
dicko Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Still at uni so not a career change (although it will be nice to get out of the bottle-shop!) but going into the law. If any kindly BOTL have any connections in Perth, WA for jobs/experience please PM me!!
Stalebread Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I would consider giving up my current position as a flaneur only if I could be a really, really good slight-of-hand magician.
Rogers72 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I want to be a novelist. I have started two novels but have been stuck with one for 8 years and the other for 5 years!!! I would love to hit one or two big though and be able to travel and write for the rest of my life.
Kangaroo495 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I think I'd be better suited in a foreign affairs role of some sort. Unfortunately I've pretty much missed that boat.
SmokinLightning Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 I'd love to write... I've got the imagination just can't seem to get the dreams on paper.
cigcars Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 *My dream job would probably not be workable for me: Movie maker/Tobacconist profession. Both of these I'm so passionate about and my attitude toward work is so anti-fun...! I probably would enjoy neither if it was my JOB!
