If you could do anything... anything at all... and consider it a "job" and receive enough money from it to be financially secure and live the way you want to live, what would you want to do? And, assume you had the capability obviously (like if you are built like me (NOT a football build) but wanted to be a pro football player, you could).

Me, I want to write. My genre would be fantasy stories (not sexual fantasy, but science fiction/fantasy type). I think the writer's fame is the best if you're successful. You can be standing in a book store right next to a couple people looking at a book you wrote saying, "you have to read this book, it was awesome!!" and they'll never know you were the author! lol

But I don't want deals and deadlines where I have to write so many books. I want to write at my pace.

So... what would you want to do and be paid comfortably for?

I'd also like to travel and get paid for it! Probably doing a nature or animal series. Finding and exploring different areas. Taking pictures----dreamin'.

I'd like to ski or snowboard and get paid for it. I'm prepared to pay vast sums of hard earned coinage to do it so to have someone giving me money to do it would be like a dream come true.

Well I did and I'm doing the very thing I have always wanted to do and it does keep me financially happy...
Now if I was single, I would love to do it on a Cruise ship and enjoy traveling through out the world doing it, meeting people from all over.

Probably not a total surprise my second choice would be a Top Fuel driver. My first choice would be a size 4 women's blue jean fit checker.

Good question. Well that narrows things down to one of two choices. Either drive truck or join a rock band where we are always on tour. Nothing is really stopping me from driving truck...but I just havent really pursued it.
