I'd cut way back on my current business and would work or volunteer for an organization doing things I'm passionate about. I'd probably be teaching English to foreigners, teaching adults to read, helping to place refugees, things like that.

I wouldn't work for someone else.
I'd pursue my hobbies, take classes, and travel.

I'd still work. I like being an engineer. I'd be bored to death without a project to work on and smart people to challenge me every day.

No. I wouldn't even show up. I'd just call in.

The whole point of me working now is to reach an end goal of not having to work. So if I suddenly find a short cut, be winning the lottery or suddenly having a really rich uncle, then I would consider it as reaching my goal and therefore do what I've always wanted to do--NOT WORK.

Default I'd become self-employed --

My new job would be determining the best plan for giving away those millions...
learning which organizations accomplish the most, with the least overhead.

When all but the last million was given away, I'd keep that last one for myself,
"retire" from my self-employment, and do some traveling.

Nice work, if I could get it!

I would quit my full time job immediately as it is very stressful and demanding and at times, unsafe. I would take in a foster child or 2 and volunteer in an animal shelter. This would be the best kind of work for me and it would be immensely rewarding.

not just NO, but HELL NO

Do what I want and contribute to what I want - work in the literal sense no longer exists. If I do anything, it's because I want to and that means I come and go as I please and don't consider it WORK at all
