I would like to be art director/designer of a publishing company that caters to the alternative/indie graphic novel and zine sector. Eventually I would like to publish my own graphic novel. ---

A long-reigning undisputed undefeated heavy-weight champion of the world boxer. Then I need something to do when I retire at 45 or 50. Howard Hughes’ life in The Aviator looked fun if you cut out all the crazy. ---

Forensic Pathologist. I have wanted to be this since I was a kid. I have since realized that I have no desire to start medical school at 34 or 35 so I’m currently hoping to be accepted to a Master of Pathologist’s Assistant program. First though, I have 3 more years of undergrad to deal with. ---

U.S. military combat cameraman. I joined up to be a be journalist because I love to write, but I found a new love in documentary filming and running and gunning. The hours and work and deployments are brutal, we have a lot of work in keeping the family solid, but I love my job. I see and document things nobody will see until they’re declassed on the history channel in 20 years. It’s an amazing job and it did kind of fall in my lap. I was a high school drop-out who joined in a peace-time military and got my Bachelor’s while on active duty. ---

Same job I’ve wanted since I was 8; Astronaut. Unfortunately I’m old, fat and have a very sensitive inner ear. Boats and IMAX movies give me really bad motion sickness. I would spend all my time at ‘work’ vomiting ☹ ---

Something to do with words. I’m a great writer, I write well, and I’m a wordsmith. I think I could have enjoyed being a translater. My SIL the translater agrees with me. ---

Without money, education, or skills I’m guessing my job would be beggar. Possibly hunter-gatherer. Or stick-up man. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ignoring-money-education-skill-what-would-your-job-be/578430.md?page=3)
