Doing anything I chose, it would be a pro golfer. What would you do?

I got to tell you that I’d go right back to my welding/fabrication half of my career which I loved as much as all my years trapping!

Retired now but I wish I could have been a taxidermist. Being allergic to some animal dander and also color blind that was never in the cards. LOL

Retire in military service as a chopper Crew Chief and pilot ...continuing that in civilian life.

Do nose art logos on choppers and planes , jets, on the side. And lots of fun on base range.

I was going to be an underwater welder and then life happened. Still might be a really cool job.

But if I had literally any job in the world I think hosting a fishing show would be the real answer. Imagine that, getting paid just to have a blast fishing anywhere you wanted.

Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

I would do what I'm doing now except I would have a bunch of really well paid, great employees to help.

I used to think gunsmith

always said what I did do was the least worst thing I could do. being a communications tech , doesn't pay horrible , the insurance is good and I have a reasonable amount of vacation I can use to volunteer for the stuff I like. like 4-H shooting sports.
It helps I like the guys I work with , but probably not too long and they are going to want to start retiring.

House Husband is sounding better and better , maybe my next wife will be rich and I can hunt and fish all day and make supper.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Congressman. Great benefits including retirement. Hired help does all the work. Just vote on stuff, give a speech someone else writes, and free vacations. The help even has to listen to complaints. Would be a great job even without legal insider trading.


Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
