<p>Jmmonm,
“College professor - we all know they have a cushy time of it.”
I’m with you on this one…I love to be around curious people.</p>

<p>Alumother,
“Being a mom of 3 is the career I wish I had pursued. Only had 2.”
Change that to “dad” and we are in the same boat…alas the time has past.</p>

<p>SBmom,
“In college always fantasized about being a “gofer” for the Rolling Stones”
….like Margret Trudeau, I assume?</p>

<p>Maize&blue
“2. Run a non-profit foundation - give away lots of $$ and watch it do good.”
I did this for 5 years in Canada (not so much money as services, and I was unpaid myself)…other than my children, the most profitable thing I will probably ever do.</p>

<p>Voronwe,
“Always a godmother, never a god…”
funniest saying I’ve heard in a long time! I will be using it without crediting you as it would seem weird to refer to the author by an sn.</p>

<p>Tsdad,
“A bass player in a rock band. The guy who stood in the back of the stage away from the rest of the band.”
Been there, done that.</p>

<p>For myself, I’m doing one of the things I’ve always wanted to do, right now.
I’ve always wanted to be a woodworker, and as my sn implies I am now and have been for the last three years a woodworker. I make furniture using only wood—no metal, screws, nails etc. I don’t make a great deal of money doing it, but my past life prepared me for this and I’ve never been more content and happy then I am now.</p>

<p>Personal assistant to someone very famous…like Donald Trump…Catherine Zeta Jones, etc. but someone nice who would give me great perks!!!
Movie star (notice I didn’t say actress - don’t care about that part)
Big Band Singer (born too late for that one…)
Homicide detective (how did that get in there?)
True Crime writer (like Ann Rule)</p>
