If you could do anything in the world for a living

[Deleted]

Teach in disadvantaged communities.

Yoga, writing, Shakespeare mostly, to kids-teens.

[thinkofthesoldiers]

- Foster mom (stay at home, no outside work so I could focus on what the kids need)
- Run an animal sanctuary for alllll kinds of animals (except snakes, because well, just no)
- travel host, like I would take groups of kids on trips around the world

[falada45]

Thoroughbred racehorse breeder/trainer.

[sewf]

I would own a small used bookstore with regular customers who I'd chat with every day.

[coribelle26]

Sitcom writer. Or I would own a little boutique with very limited hours (lol) someplace awesome, like New Orleans or Key West.

[anlo]

Something where people highly valued my opinion/knowledge/experience but that required little actual work. Like a film critic. I would have one kick ass home theater.

[Bumblebee]

Full time author

[looseseal]

Dog walker, or maybe run a sandwich cart. Except I would not want to take a cut in pay or be self-employed. And I would want those jobs to send me to conferences around the world, which is probably unlikely!

What I'm starting to do (which feels awesome), train women after pregnancy to get their bodies back. I finished the first week of my fitness workshop and, as expected, the hardest part is actually keeping them working because we end up talking so much! I'm a "girls girl" and have an easy time connecting with other women, and adding in the mommy factor just makes it. It's like an instant moms group of support.

ok - so tell me what to do, lol. i dislike working out, and do not belong to a gym. AND go!

Read my blog! Lol. It's all about short, high intensity workouts you can do at home and while the baby's occupied or napping.

Strength and cardio intervals are what will give you results.

If you have a half hr only, the worst thing is to just peddle away on the elliptical.

[venice2007]

Anything fitness and nutrition related, yoga instructing on the side

[daisycat]

Does trophy wife count?

If not that, then maybe some sort of professional traveller.

[ndolehan]

I want to do something with babies - either help place babies into adoptive families, or be one of the people who go into hospitals and give skin-to-skin to sick/preemie babies, sings to them etc. This might be because I'm addicted to the "new" baby smell!

[sugarbear]

Rowing coach

Or what I'm doing now-- teaching middle school.

[annyong]

A traveling food critic/personality. Basically I want Anthony Bourdain's job. I would've said chef/own a restaurant, but I don't want those hours or that stress, so I'll take the easy way out.

[urbancowgirl]

Help to ID people in the unidentified persons database: identifyus.org/en

Or, if that job got too heavy, kitten wrangler or food taste-tester.

[calledout]

I would perform in and direct community theater. Maybe run a theater program for kids, too.

[midnightrae]

Published writer(more than just one book of poetry), music therapist, and librarian. I want to do a lot of things. I still would like to be on Broadway.

[snickers]

A pilot.

[fuckyourcouch]

this sounds nerdy and ridiculous but i really do like rocks. geology is one of my favorite things.

if i didn't have to worry about money or anything else, i'd open a bakery or i would have continued with my plan to pursue a music career.

[fuckyourcouch]

OR i would buy a big plot of land, build an awesome house, and foster as many dogs as possible.

Oh yeah I want in on this as well.

Professional baby rocker? That would be blissful.

[flex]

Work in a florist shop or as a cake makerdecorator/designer. Something artistic besides being a painter or sculptor. lol

[rupertpenny]

I want to be the Vatican archivist. For some reason I don't think I'll ever be offered this job, haha.

[gretchenindisguise]

National geographic photographer.

Sent from my DROIDX using proboards

[Deleted]

I'd write fiction. I used to write - A LOT - but since law school on, I just keep finding one excuse after another not to sit down and do it.

And I'd love to travel all over the world, finding inspiration, and writing in exotic locales.

[winnied]

Comedian or chef

[Deleted]

I would love to be able to be a SAHM. Seriously, that is all I want and is all I've ever wanted. I've never really been career driven and in the last few years have been really looking forward and hoping that this would be a reality for our family. 

If I had to choose something to do outside the home, I'd be a midwife or doula. I'm looking into becoming a certified doula and might actually do it and open my own business. There are very few here in SLC surprisingly. 

[sneetch]

I'd love to be an advice columnist, like Dear Prudence. I think that would be so fun.

I also would love to teach English as a second language at the elementary school level.

[starlily]

Elite level figure skating judge who gets to travel to all the international competitions.

Master sommelier.

[Gato]

Travel writer.  Not for guidebooks, that's too harried.  Freelance stuff.  I actually have a friend who quit her job and has been doing this for 10 years.  I'm jealous.
