1. Ninja.

wow LFB, that wasnt one that I expected....

[bluepea]

^^ Yeah, me either. I thought he already was a ninja!

what would a person volunteering for the UN get to do?

Not to sound extremely ambiguous, but it depends. A lot of humanitarian work in developing countries, and I'm sure that entails a lot. Their website offers some good information but they're rather vague as well. You probably find more out talking to recruiters and during the application process.

Is that script writer as in for plays/movies, or as in programming??

If you knew me, that'd be a funny question. I know nothing about computers. For movies. I've had some damn brilliant ideas I need to put into writing so they can get dusty on my laptop instead of in my head.

Rally or touring car driver or even a test (to destruction) driver for normal cars.

Politition minus the pact with satan.

I'd like to write a few books

I'd like to make some furniture.

I don't really want anything that would stick me in one career for the rest of my life. most those things could be taken up as a hobbie.

some interesting options here! Here are mine:

1) Teacher of geography/citizenship with possible extension into Hungary
2) Romani Rights Worker, setting up an NGO to help Romani Kids learn English
3) Lecturer at university
4) Amnesty International aid worker
5) Fashion Designer

Anyone ever wanna be a stripper?

Here's an interesting interview with an ex-stripper who worked in San Francisco.

Her best night she made $3500! Averaged around $1000/night and made "just" a few hundred on a "bad" night.
So, let's do the math here...averaging $1000/night...let's say working maybe 3-4 days a week...= $200K/YEAR!!!
And you can make this all in your early 20s with no degree! Dang! And she even met her hubby at her club!

1. Travel show host. My number one dream, but seems so unlikely to happen...

2. Work in marketing for a surf company in S. France. Going to school for the business part, so...

3. Teaching position where you go to a new international location every couple of years

4. Something to do with global warming/climate change. I want to save the Alps. Hoping to do some kind of volunteer work but dont know where to start.

5. Concert pianist. I dont play the piano, though, so that may be tough
Hey, it said "dream" right?

And all you have to do is degrade and objectify yourself every one of those nights until retirement. Sweet.

I like designing and building things. I also like things that go fast (ex. cars) and luv physics, so my ultimate favorite "university degree" job would be to become an Automotive Engineer but for now i don't have the money or the time
If that didn't work i want to be a really good service advisor for a top of the line-yet affordable to upper middle calss dealership like BMW.
If that didn't work I'd settle for anything in 'creative' auto business like designing/building cutom race/drifting cars(can't be a technician anymore bcuz of my injuries=my ejucation so far down the drain)
I'd settle for any of these:
sports car driver
professional mountain biker
Adventure tour organizer/guide
Park ranger (somewhere in BC)
Teaching English Internationally
Horse breeder :P have always liked ponies
Professional swimmer/triathlete (maybe a li'l late for that!?)
A position in the UN sounds cool too

Forgot about this one
Geologist... studying landforms and rocks, it can be a lot of fun and potentially can involve a lot of travelling

Hmm... I think last year, dodging bullets and disarming bombs close up, I made $55k....


I don't have much sympathy for someone making 200k a year shaking their thing on stage naked...

Lol, if a woman's body is "objectified" in a strip club and a man's body is similarly "objectified" as cannon fodder on a battlefield...then it's interesting how the woman's body is easily worth 4X or more than the man's body.

Wow, my body is only worth 1/4 of a woman's.

I doubt most would want it.

That was my number 6...

I've bounced off enough trees on my Santa Cruz to knock it down out of the top 5....
