Dream career if you could start again?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I’d work my butt off to become a doctor.
Too late to go down that way now, especially how committed I am to my current job. But if I could go back to secondary school now, get my head down and work way harder to get the grades and subjects to apply. |

I would travel the world as a tourism reviewer. Stay in a country for a few months, eat the local food, learn the language, sightseeing, hidden gems. Then write a review about it and encourage others to visit. Then move onto the next one.
I would have a social media following so I'd be mildly famous, but not famous enough to be recognised in real life. This would also be an additional income. A few TV appearances encouraging Brits to travel to x country for a budget friendly holiday. A few sponsorship deals would follow. A cameo appearance in the annual Soccer Aid charity football match.
A scandal involving a British family who travel to a location I recommended, only to be struck by a global warming catastrophe. Some of them die. My reputation is in tatters. I retire from social media. I quit my job. I become a property investor with the money I've saved over the years and the connections I've made. I find a lovely woman, get married and we have a bunch of kids. I become super husband and super dad. I live in a hot country with cheap food and an easy life.
I wake up from this dream. Why did I wake up?? Send me back! |

"Always wanted to be a chef in the RN.
Well did half of it I’m a qualified chef. "
I nearly joined the RN. Wish I had done. If I'd survived the Falklands I'd be retired and a fabulous pension. Plus a lot of travelling and fun I'm sure. Best service in my book. |

Scriptwriter/director or something in that vein.
I know the old saying..."its never too late"...but for those not in the industry, unless lightning strikes and you hit it out the park with your first script, its at least 10yrs hard slog to get your name noticed.

"Or open my own coffee/craft shop.
Sewing/crochet & crafts are my passionate hobbies now. Would love to combine all.
I love baking also. "
Can we do one together please? Call it Stitch and Sip, Crumb and Craft, Loom and Latte or something of that sort  |

I always wanted to be a Nurse when I was little
I did take the Police entrance exams and passed but I never got picked for training
Now I would love to run a little B&B on the coast aimed at dog owners and mountain bikers |

"To be fair, I'm already doing it. But a pro dancer would also be awesome."
Be careful what you wish for there
If you enjoy people screaming at you if you put on an ounce, discussing you like you aren't in the room, being forced to dance on injuries that would put footballers out for months and 18 hour days, you'll do ok  |

If I could start again which of my many ventures should I have stuck with
Started the band whilst at school back in the 1970’s when musicians made money unlike today when your lucky to earn anything so might have prolonged that
Or
If I hadn’t got injured I would have continued in a professional combat sport
