Too bad you have to live through all the crap of a real job in order to do the things you love to do. I could never make a living doing what I'm doing....this is just for fun!
:D
*************************************************

So, if you didn't have to work for money in order to pay mortgage, and all those "real life" things, what would you do? Or as Jimmy Buffett would say, if you didn't have to make your music for money, you'd be makin' your music for yourself?

If I didn't have to worry about income, and could follow my heart, I'd have a big farm where I could take in animals (especially dogs and horses) that were abused or unwanted and restore them and find them good homes. If that meant they would live out the rest of their lives with me and never do a lick of work, then so be it.

What about YOU?

become a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, eagles idiots have shot, etc. ... in hopes some of them could be returned to the wild where they belong...

cats, dogs, lizards, birds (not just birds of prey)...

when you're licensed you end up with just about everything.

not sure about spiders though...YIKES!

1. A successful artist living on a private island in the tropics - with shows and exhibits every month or so in big cities all over the world.

2. A doctor - maybe delivering babies - to see the miracle of life on a daily basis.

3. A rock star! I practiced alot when I was young but I can't sing .... :oops:

4. Oh, yeah, a hula girl. :lol: :lol: :lol:

After I retire, I am planning to work or volunteer as an activity director in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Most people love working with children, but the elderly are too often neglected and forgotten.

a. what exactly would you be inspecting? thongs rolling along on a conveyor belt? Or would you be analyzing the proper fit of the thong on a female pair of buttocks?
b. what kind of system would you employ in order to determine "passing inspection"?

you've seen that show, Mythbusters? that's it, I want to figure out how to get to where they are. Making cool things work for the movies and TV, plus the fun things they do for the show. One of them made a foam shark in like 20 minutes, and it was really cool.

I'd also love to work as a ride and site developer for Disney or other major theme park. Those people get to design cool stuff and make it real. Then the public love it, how rewarding would that be?

I'd also love to be able to buy all the BN lanyards we'd ever need and just send them to every user.

Sandra Bullock's massuse.

If not that, then a greeter at Wal Mart.

Either one would give me ecstasies of untold proportions.

If money were no factor and I could do whatever the heck I wanted.....right now I would be a stay at home mom to my 'keet. I so wish I could do that, at least until he went to school.

After he went to school, I might get a little bored and lonely at home, so I'd go to work at a zoo helping care for the animals.
