My major in college was rhetoric and writing. So hopefully it would have been something creative. Probably would have flopped and would have started installing stereos to make a few extra bucks.
I'd love to be a chef, have a bistro. I just don't want to be married to a restaurant.

If I ever get my payoff, I'm going to build a moderate but nice house, with a nice music studio and a nice home theater, and I'm probably never going to come out again. Well maybe once in a while, but it won't be a priority. I will spend the rest of my years creating some epic, timeless, but almost certainly misunderstood, 8 hour long progressive soul masterpiece that will only be finally recognized for what it is a couple hundred years from now.
OR, alternatively, I may just try to see how many super-models I can sleep with before something falls off.

This gig was supposed to be temporary......that was 12 years ago. Before that I was a telecomm engineer before all of the high- tech crap went bust.

Count me as another that is only to happy to have turned my real estate license in, and take up some other career. Oh crap, I'd blacked out the memories of the part time house wives. Thanks for bringing that up. I need another drink now One year I thought I had done really well. Thinking the numbers would be impressive, I did some rough estimations on what I had made per hour. That was when I decided it was time to move on.

Structural engineer(two years short when I ran out of money!),
Race car driver(what I was born to do and almost did....I still wish I would have followed through!),
Taekwondo instructor(I did that for years)......doesn't pay that well but watching your students grow and apply their "I can do that" attitude in their personal and professional lives is priceless!
"Installer" works for me for now.
I really enjoy the people I meet and I like building a strong relationship with them.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring......I'd like to get into the training part of this industry because i love it!
I would also consider anything that involves connecting with people and making their lives better.

Every day is a good day.......some are just better than others!

I like what I do. But if I could go back and pick a different option, I want Trust Fund kid. I'd like to travel whenever I wish. But I'd like to hit destinations that the average traveller would miss. Stuff like the home of Judge Roy Bean, of example.
Unfortunately, I got screwed by the will. Lol

For me, science and math, but electronics was a hobby since I was about 10. I turned to audio when the BA wouldn't get me anything like a job, and I've been happy in it ever since.
The BA was in Linguistics, the theories of language. No big surprise there, huh?

Travel writer
After the marines I hitchhiked europe for a couple years. Wish I had started writing and blogging as I traveled. Now that the Internet has proliferated I'm sure I could have figured out a way to make a living and kept on traveling

How about stay at home dad and home maker? This means I should have married a business professional and not an educator, but I could swing being a home maker.
I love to cook, fix the house, spend time with my kids, befriend lonely stay at home moms.
