What would be your ideal chosen profession?

A genuine too.... not a fantasy one


I would love to either be a Custodian for the National Trust and have a large stately home all to myself to look after....

... or a 'Picker', preferably in the US because of it's vastness and the amount of picking that must still be out there. It would be a great job and I'm very envious of these two inparticular.... they have the BEST job in the world









The connection clearly is a love of all things old as long as it doesn't have a pulse

I watch American pIckers, do you get the History channel in the UK?

Yes we do and I love that program.

Traveller/Explorer/Adventurer I suppose

Do they have a job for professional booze testers?

I am pretty much doing what I want to - in a perfect world though I would be much more self sufficient and rely more on selling my handicrafts for the bits and bobs I don't make/grow myself rather then having to do the online advice work to make up the difference. That and a parent.

A difficult one to nail down for me.
If pressed I would opt for anthropologist.

I find people their cultures, (language, migrations, art(s), food, etc) endlessly fascinating.

I'd like to be maybe an artist... a sculptor... I've thought of cool bronze people, around 4 feet high, like two warriors fighting to the death on a mountain top... a man and his pregnant woman embracing each other... not sure why I thought of them, and I'm fucked if I can make them, but they look awesome in my mind That counts as a fantasy one doesn't it?

Real profession... haven't got a clue at the mo

I would like to grow all kinds of "medicinal" plants in a huge greenhouse...
I think poppy tea should be available to anyone who wants it,,especially old people..Best drug I've ever had... }{liquid opium}

I read a story once about a corporate guy on holiday, He observed a fisherman who woke every morning and went out to fish, he would just catch enough to feed his family, and sell the rest . Then spend the rest of the day just playing with his children, loving his wife, and friends. he was a very good fisherman, and always caught more than anyone else. So our hero approached him and suggested, you have one boat and catch much. With two boats you would catch more, begin to sel outside of the village, expand. Eventually you will have loads of money, and maybe in 25yrs time you will be able to retire, and catch your own......oh fuck

I've always wanted to do everything..i never had an ideal career.
I'll see other people working and and think "huh! I could do that better."

I want his job.

I'd like to work in a monkey sanctuary.
