If you could be successfully in any job of your choice, what would it be and why?

[Gardenlover]

I’d be a musician, because I believe they’re the modern-day magicians. Music has the power to move people, transform moods, and create moments that feel almost magical.

 

[hollydolly]

Singer....without a shadow of a doubt !

 

[seadoug]

I wouldn't have chosen any other career. I was successful in the travel industry and got to see some of the most fascinating places on earth. To think, I went to college to become an architect.

 

[WheatenLover]

I would be an FBI agent with the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team. I have a special interest in those cases, and I am pretty good at solving mysteries.

I also loved being a lawyer, not so much being an accountant.

 

[TeePee]

I would be a veterinarian if I was smart enough because I love animals.

 

[josephine]

I want to become a doctor. Unfortunately, I have ADHD, which makes it harder for me to pursue that path.

 

[Lavinia]

I want to work in a bookshop. I love being surrounded by books and I think the customers would be a pleasure to deal with.

 

[RambleTamble]

I'd be a talk show host. Of course, to be successful at that, I'd have to like people more and be a better conversationist.

you could always work in a library !

 

[Feelslikefar]

To be a Sound Engineer.

To create in the recording studio, what a group or artist was truly capable of.
Engineers like George Martin (Beatles) or Tom Dowd (everybody else) and how they changed the way we listen to music.

 

[IrishEyes]

I would stay in what I did, I was suited for it and happy doing it, just wished it paid more.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I want to work in a bookshop. I love being surrounded by books and I think the customers would be a pleasure to deal with.

Me too!

I seriously considered opening a small used bookstore when I retired but thankfully came to my senses.

I have 2 grand daughters that read avidly. One uses the books on her phone, the other always has a hard copy or paperback in her
hands. She says she loves the feel of the pages and turning them and knowing when she puts it down, her place is not lost. More
need to think like her. The thickness of a book in your hand tells so much about the effort and imagination of the writer and your
progress (or dread) to finishing it.

 

[bobcat]

A comedy writer. Seems like it would be fun to just hang out with your team and laugh all day at each other's humorous comments and get paid for it.

 

[Marv Malone]

Actor

 

[HazyDavey]

Professional Golfer..
I grew up playing baseball all the time. Then one day a friend of mine took me out to play golf. I didn't play very well but I enjoyed the experience of being on a golf course and learning about the game.

 

[MountainRa]

I would be a writer- hopefully a best selling one.

 

[Trish]

Fashion designer! Failing that, anything creative

If I had the musical skills (which I don't) I'd like to be a musician.

 

[oldman]

I would enjoy being a professor at a major university. My wife is retired from Georgetown University and was head of the History Department (for awhile), which was strongly centered on U.S. History. I thoroughly enjoyed my career as a pilot for United, but I often thought I would also enjoy teaching aviation.

I have my Masters, but it would be better if I had a PhD to secure the position that I am referring to. There are a few universities that offer this degree in aviation sciences. Years back, I did look into it, but was very satisfied with flying, so I was never 100% certain I wanted to change careers.

 

[That Lady in PA]

Since the premise is that I would be successful.... cancer cure research.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I was okay with working in accounting, and would probably do it again. I prefer working with numbers, forecasting, financial planning strategies - - - and there was a certain job security in my field, which I preferred over constant change.

However, I also recognize that AI may play a much bigger role going forward which well become a future issue in that field.
