Trust fund baby. I want lots of money and free time without working for it. Failing that, any management sinecure with the ability to work from home. Very little responsibility, highly paying, and never need to take off my pajamas. ---

Inventor and patent holder of environmentally friendly and affordable flying car technology. Barring that, extremely talented and visionary LEEDS certified commercial and residential architect.

Is treasure hunter a real job? I want to be a guy who cruises around the Caribbean, has an amazing knowledge of shipwrecks and history, and manages to find all kinds of missing treasure ala Mel Fisher or those guys that used to do Deep Sea Detectives - oh, except without all the horrible accidental deaths and years of false leads, because you know, I’d be the best in the world at it, be rich, be well respected, and get to hang out in tropical regions of the world. ---
