I noticed the other thread, "What do you do for a living?" So I'm asking the premature question, "What do you wish you did for a living?"
As for me, I wish I could write for a living.:nahnah:

I think the mods can merge this into that thread, however.

I wish I was an author, screenwriter, and artist.
But when I grow up I wanna be a race car driver and and astronaut and a trapeze performer.
Nah, seriously, an author, a screenwriter, and an artist.

I wish that my small coffee shop (The Feisty Goat) assimilated Starbucks and recreated their multinational conglomerate with lower prices and more multicultural drinks. Then, in my spare time I would finance my t-shirt business Dee Tees so I could dominate the graphic tee industry. In the end I would probally join the Illuminati and become president.

I wish I was a songwriter, but I have no rythym.
I wish I was commanding a tank, but I'm medicaly disqualifed from military serivce.
I wish I was an author, and I'm sorta flexing my muscles now but now one's told me I have real potential. Yet... :bigsmile:
So now I have to settle for being a student, but I think I'd be happy doing what I'm gunning for anyway... lawyering.

I'm happy as a student, but one day I hope to start a career as a lawyer or politician or go into marketing

Bikini judge. :ewok:
Seriously, were money not an issue I would run a series of small theaters and drive-in theaters. By 'small' I mean the theaters with only one or two small screening rooms, that show 'artsy' or foreign films. Probably wouldn't show many foreign films, to be honest, but I'd show classics. For Halloween I'd screen 'The Shining' or whatever else I could get. My drive-in would have FM transmitters so couples could make out in their cars and fog up the windows while not watching the movie, without having to roll down the windows.
Granted, these would not be commercially successful ventures, but this is a scenario in which money is no longer my main concern. Maybe I'll do it when I retire.
Also, 'bikini judge'.
Which would mean I would need a bailiff.
Honorable Judge Krogenar: "I am ready to rule on this case."
Bailiff: ""Awww, no... he's ready to rule!"
Honorable Judge Krogenar: "I find the defendant, Kandy, to be guilty of Excessive Bodaciousness in the Second Degree."
[Kandy is stunned, never having heard the word 'bodacious' before.]
Honorable Judge Krogenar: "You are hereby sentenced to cavort, frolic and play under my robes for a period of time no shorter than one hour. Court is adjourned." [gavel crashes down with finality]
I'd be tough, but fair.

Super Villain. A Super Hero just seems to be putting out spot fires all the time. At least a Super Villain has goals, ambition that sort of thing.

Run an elementary school library.
Oh wait, I already do that.
But I need to get paid more, I can't even afford cable TV.

I'd love to own a bookstore. Of course, I would need to find good help, because I would be too busy reading all of the books! (And I think it's sweet that my husband doesn't think I'm a nerd because I go through books... I just like to read!) :)

physicist I would think but probably architect. I'm obsessed with designing the perfect building, house, community etc.

Musician, Explosives Technician, or Contract Killer. Of course I'm kidding about the third one... maybe. :wink:

I want to make video games (rpgs or simulation games... LIKE THE SIMS!!!) or just play music in coffee shops.

I think you are actually a contract killer, who wants to quit, because your fingers are getting more and more trigger friendly.:nahnah:

I wish I could just sell crap I get for free on eBay for a living... but there's not enough of these for me to make a real living at it... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200186664159&ssPageName=STRK:MESO:IT&ih=010

^ nice plug, Horse. And you got 100% positive feedback. That's impressive... tempting as well... hmmm
*goes off to bid on items and deliberatly post negative feedback on the item, the item's seller, and the item seller's parantage*
I wish I was a Sith Lord. :holosid:
:zap:

Well for a plug it's a bit late, since the item has ended... and my feedback is actually only 98.9%, but the point was that some of the crap I pick up is actually worth something to others :P
Strange, when I was a kid, my biggest dream was to become a space transport pilot. I even built a strange looking lego space transport. When I was a kid, people used to think people would live on the moon or on space stations on year 2000.:)

I'm a Bikini Contest Judge and sometimes a racecar driver. When not doing either of those two jobs, I make custom banners and flags for television and film.
