If you had to start over career-wise ... what would you do?

[dank69]

Yoga instructor for hot female celebrities.

I'd probably start over by learning a trade. I've always liked working with my hands and I don't mind manual labor.

I don't think fapping qualifies as "working with your hands."

 

[bigrash]

I'd probably go into IT.

 

[Vdubchaos]

I'm on my 3rd career and I still don't know what the hell I really want to do......

 

[nageov3t]

I would have skipped college (where I got my useless English Lit degree) and just gone to tech school.

I ended up working in IT anyways, but that would have saved me some years and a lot of money.

if I could full-on go back in time, I would have used that college money to instead relocate to SF or Seattle and get a job at a start-up in the late 90's.

Something either food, animal, or film related.

to be honest, realistically i wouldn't change a thing. i make a good salary and i do work that i enjoy that is challenging and rewarding, and i never really do the same thing so it's constantly evolving (software engineer). i'm constantly learning new things too and broadening my horizon.

if i didn't care about money and being able to do a lot of the things i do now, i'd probably move to the virgin islands or hawaii and work on a boat doing snorkel or diving tours. it would be a totally different life style though that is for sure.

 

[PricklyPete]

I'd probably follow the same route.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Veterinary Oncologist

 

[Red Storm]

Physics/astronomy.

Yep.

 

[Sonikku]

Deep down I've always wanted to be a Sith Lord.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

I would have stayed a patent examiner instead of becoming a patent attorney. I would make almost as much money, but would have 5 guaranteed weeks of paid time off plus 2.5 guaranteed weeks of sick leave every year. And no stress.

 

[mizzou]

teacher. I have a really great personality and work ethic to deal with bastard children.

 

[holden j caufield]

The best job is one where you don't have to directly deal with customers, though.

I'd like to find a job a long those lines. Anyone know of any?

 

[Blackjack200]

Yoga instructor for hot female celebrities.

I did this for a year, but got fed up with them constantly hounding me for sex. I figured a job in retail or a call center would be better fit.

 

[dawp]

do better in school, I was lazy and never did my homework while always acing the tests. I had a low c high d average.

Your class?

 

[ViviTheMage]

Law Enforcement ... still trying, got some interviews lined up this week and next!

That sounds horrible. What was I thinking? D:

 

[z1ggy]

Not sure how much $$ it would have got me... But possibly start my own pr0n business.

But if not, then nothing. I have a BS in engineering.

 

[JamesV]

Pharmacist.

I know one young and one old person who does this. Neither works full time, but both make a lot of money, easily enough to live on well by only working 30 hours or less a week.

 

[soulcougher73]

Probably marine biology or geologist type fiends. Something with global travel opportunities that doesnt sit behind a desk all day.

 

[HydroSqueegee]

something with a decent career... Science teacher of some sort. Geology probably or general sciences at a high school level.

 

[acheron]

I have a friend who finds themselves at a metaphorical crossroad of their life.

Anyway, I'd probably stay in the computer field, but I sometimes think I should have done an electrical and computer engineering degree rather than computer science, and gone down the hardware or embedded programming route.

 

[Midwayman]

I would have probably pursued a med-tech field like nuclear medicine, imaging, etc. Good money, not a ton of school. Either that of tried to find a way to make metalsmithing actually work as a career. You know if I didn't have to worry about $$$$.
