Nicked from a Heronwise direction

Imagine you had all the training and skills (and general life situation) you needed to take your ideal job. You don't have to do it for the rest of your life, just 5 or 10 years if you want. What would you pick?

My Top 5 (no particular order)

1. Philosopher to the stars.
2. Programmer
3. Financially well-off perpetual student
4. Rock star
5. Writer

If given another choice, I'd add:
6. Rich and unemployed

1. Fighter pilot (as long as I didn't have to kill anyone, I could just fly around in a cool plane)
2. Food critic/restaurant critic
3. rich enough to be idle
4. Perpetual student in a subject that didn't involve exams/coursework etc
5. Backing singer/Session singer (doing all the sha-la-la bits)

I looked into it too, but I am hugely short-sighted, and very short anyway, so it never panned out....same went for commercial pilot too...BUT my lovely lovely fiance bought me flying lessons for my birthday, and my first one is in a couple of weeks! Woo-hoo!!
