Not by choice but I have recently found myself in that position. I was working as a Software Trainer for a company in Bowling Green teaching customers how to use the software. I got laid off in October. So at 54 years old I started looking for another job. After almost nine months of looking for work and not finding anything I have started working from home has an order capture agent and I've about completed my training to be a substitute school bus driver. I take my CDL test next week.

Real estate agent. It's my plan for a retirement gig

Well, I wish you luck. If it happens to me, I'll likely need help on the farm.

I've been doing what I do for so long I can't remember any of my youthful aspirations.

 

That said I'd love to be a very successful politician.

 

You get paid well, you can get away with lying all the time and other people want to give you stuff even after you lie to them.

 

Seriously:

 

Actor in Broadway musicals.

He said no prostitutes.

I love history and wanted badly to be a history major but at the time couldn't see myself teaching. Now I could.

Personal trainer or some kind of marathon/triathlon coach.

 

Football coach just after that.

Same... I think it was be awesome.

Dream Job:

Fighter Pilot-This has to be the coolest job in the world...I considered AF when I was younger

 

More realistic Job:

US History Teacher- I Love US History and hate to hear kids say they don't like History...I'd make it my mission to make History Fun and relative to the kids.

That would be on my short list too...I have a cheap drafting program I play around with, but if I had a Man Cave I'd have an old fashion drafting table in it.

I just gave one away when we moved. I reloaded on it!

I guess you would change your name to Art Vandalay too?

I many times regret not serving in the military. If could go back, I would have tried to get into one of the military academies or ROTC. After spending however long in the military, would have liked to transition into law enforcement. I am seriously considering looking into serving as a reserve in the Sherriff's Department. I just work too much though.

 

I also like auto detailing, real detailing, not what many of the car dealerships claim to be detailing. Concours de Excellence type detailing. At one time my near 15 year old car looked better than it did sitting at the dealership in 1999. However, being side swiped twice by uninsured motorists and my not having enough time to fix the damage ended that really quick.

I wish I would have stayed with computer programming.

 

I wanted to be a Marine Biologist when I was young. I let some idiot talk me out of it.

Probably something outside where I didn't have to deal with a lot of people. Ideally I'd live out West somewhere. Maybe I'd be a cropduster. I'd keep the plane in a barn and make a nice little grass strip on my land. Work in the mornings, come home and sit on the porch and enjoy the view with a beer and a book. Maybe go down to the Red Pony and hang out with my pal Walt Longmire.
