If your current profession disappeared, what would you do?

I would vow to save all sentient beings.

But with your current career, you're content to let them all go to their doom?

I'd probably go back to the army, or go into "private security" (read mercenary).

At this exact moment I'm a Web marketer and SEO consultant - that business is changing really fast and is likely to disappear soon. When it does go away I'll write a non monetized blog about how to make money on the web. Then I'll write my memoirs. I worked on some interesting and very successful web companies.

I try not to think about it

I hope you do. I would like to read it.

Good question. I kind of wish my current profession WOULD disappear (Sharepoint dev), as it would light a fire under me to do something else.

Same here TBH. My current job is comfortable enough (and allows me to enjoy life otherwise) that I'm not really motivated to do a big change, but at the same time it's really unsatisfying.

Edit: As for what I'd do maybe I'd give law enforcement a try. Not something I'd want to do for the rest of my life, but chasing hoodlums for a few years sounds kind of fun.

I'd be screwed.

No worries about myself, I'll "make do".

However those I work around and care about would be another story and that would bother me - a lot!

It did. Luckily I'd already worked at it 30 years and could retire. But then my wife became disabled and couldn't work. We make about 1/4 of what we used to and we're doing fine.

Good for you. Debt free, the way to be. :thumbsup:

Sorry for the wife.

Retirement sound good to me.

Admin assistant. Pay at a good company is in the $50k range, it's liveable. I've got beaucoup experience in it.

But... my profession won't go anywhere since people will still need drinking water and roads.
