My first interest in Jr High was Geology. I never learned much about it but it still kinda fascinates me. Don’t know if I could make a living out of it. If I find enough precious gems maybe

Pretty much doing what I've always wanted to, driving truck hauling heavy construction equipment. Best part is, since I work for a paving company, and we can't work in the winter here, I get 3 months off every year to hunt, trap, and spend time with family

Walk the Earth like Caine from Kung Fu.

Seriously, the job I want or look forward to is not having a real job. I'll be busy but on my terms.

At one time that was a dream of mine. Found out the entire country is overrun with young, excellent golfers. Now I'm the GM of a course in the Upper Peninsula. Work 6 to 7 days a week for 8 months and take 4 off. I love it and can't imagine doing anything else. Cuts into the summer fishing, but have most of trapping season off. Savell, what you have going there looks pretty good.

The same as I've always done.
In a nutshell, trap in season and work seasonal work when not trapping.
Preferably outdoors.

I don't know that there's anything I'd rather do than cut timber, I'm pretty happy doing what I do.

Be independently wealthy.

Seriously I like what I do, I get to hunt for a living. But I have to deal with people and can't always hunt what I want, when I want. I have to guide what the clients want to hunt and deal with them. I don't make a ton of money, but I live pretty simply and get to spend all my time outdoors. But if I was independently wealthy I'd not have to deal with people and I could travel and hunt or trap whenever and wherever I wanted.

Shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Upon reflection I think I would just like to work on my farm with my family and focus on seeking the Lord and breaking down scripture. Volunteer more with 4 H and other things. If I need to pick an off farm job working at a state or federal park doing outdoor education, managing trails, and such... Something outdoors.

But I do actually like my job I have now. I mean I used to play with heavy equipment in the sand box as a kid now I get paid to play with the real thing. Guess that is actually living child hood dreams after all. Works not a drag when you enjoy what you do.
