If you could start a new career that would be rewarding, fun

[leftofthedial]

and meaningful for the next 15 - 25 years, what would it be?

[reyd reid reed]

1. I'd write...

Fun, funny, sad and then funny again. Lit fic, non-fic, genre fic...whatever struck my fancy.

I wouldn't even mind trying my hand at erotica.

But I'd write.

[leftofthedial]

10. why can't you do that right now anyway?

[reyd reid reed]

13. I do...

not as much as I'd like because I keep getting distracted by....stuff. And not as successfully as I'd like. I like to think that I'm not half bad, actually.

But I do write.

2. Either A Meteorologist

or a Public Policy PhD

:shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

5. Go with meteorologist...

can't go wrong there, unless you luck into being right.

:shrug:

[leftofthedial]

11. what would be your job

as a public policy PhD?

Teacher? Work at a think tank?

[SPKrazy]

31. Perhaps All Of The Above

teach, think tank, consultant, or work for a health care company as my specialization would be health care policy

[KitchenWitch]

3. I would be Paris Hilton!

Just kidding!

[reyd reid reed]

4. Woman...

there are doctors who can help with this kind of thing...let me set up an appointment for you...

Maybe they'll have pretty medicine that'll make you a *happy* girl, too...

[KitchenWitch]

6. ROFL

It would be nice to be independently wealthy, however, I would think that I would be a little more altruistic than the worlds biggest Party Girl.

[reyd reid reed]

7. That might be nice...

it'd bring it's own set of headaches, though. I'd be happy just to not have to keep a running tally of what's in my grocery cart before I get to the checkstand.

What I'd like to be able to do...what I dream of...is going down to the utilities company and anonymously paying the past due balance on every residential account in town.

THAT would feel good, I think.

[leftofthedial]

8. yeah!

you could hang out with Britney!

And really cut down on the underwear bills.

[KitchenWitch]

9. *snort*

:spray:

12. It's good work if you can get it

Well I lost my job down at the factory
Lost my money in the lottery
Met a little girl walkin' down the street, I said
Ain't there any way to how to beat the heat
She said hey now little baby, love is all you need
I said workin' on love sounds good to me

It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it,
Baby just let it work

Well, I'm playin' six string down at the corner bar
Be-bop-a-lula on a berry guitar
There was a big fat daddy in a cadillac
Sweet little angel ridin' in the back
Hey now mister nothin's gonna come for free
I said Playin' six string sounds good to me

It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it,
Baby just let it work

Sweet little Mary was just thirteen
Walkin' down the street she'd make a good man mean
Take a truthin' man and she could make him a liar
She could take the coolest cat and set his soul on fire
Hey there pretty baby got me down on my knees
Ya got me workin' every night babe' tryin' to please

It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it
It's good work if you can get it,
Baby just let it work

14. Photography

Nature for fun, documenting corporate and government trespasses against the environment for my "scratch".

[leftofthedial]

15. that would be great

who would pay you for your scratch?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

18. .

I am hoping investigative arms of watchdog organizations, but in reality it would need to be sold in conjunction with a written story.
This is also based on the assumption that in the future our "news" sources become receptive again to concerns of people, and not to concerns of corporations. Good thing this a hypothetical *sigh*

[leftofthedial]

19. you shoot 'em

I'll write 'em

[HCE SuiGeneris]

22. Done. Agreed. Where do

I sign? :evilgrin:

[leftofthedial]

25. we'll still need a pimp

[HCE SuiGeneris]

26. Pretty sure some of my old

pals back in Sanity Cruz could be coerced. :smoke:

[gr8dane_daddy]

16. I would run a progressive record label....

basically in the business of finding new talent, building their fan base, and selling their contract to the big boys once they start making some waves....

[leftofthedial]

20. the indie label model

progressive how?

new genre?

would you just run the label, or would you also do booking, promotion, etc.?

[gr8dane_daddy]

27. I was inspired by Joe Trippi's book...

at the end where it talks about democracy being used in business (i.e. car companies having customers choose changes to designs, etc.). I thought about having fans contribute to the development of a "sound" for a band or group using the internet. The result would be a band developing their "sound" while developing a potential fan base.

[leftofthedial]

28. have you ever thought about doing a "virtual" label

using only online distribution?

do you currently work in the music industry?

[gr8dane_daddy]

29. No...just contributing to the subject question.

never put any thought into a virtual label...I'll have to look it up.

17. Magic card

creator, for Magic the Gathering, from Wizards of the Coast. I would like to create text, and powers/limit of cards. I'm not a good artist, so I would leave the artwork to more suited hands. I would also love, to create D and D ready to use board campaigns'....I would like to make board sets for Ravenloft, and for Menzoberranzen...

[leftofthedial]

23. sounds cool

although I really have no idea what you're talking about . . .
