Emperor of Mars.

Okay, failing that, I'd like to run a university of science for the underprivileged of the world. We have a desperate need of more scientists and a practical way to give a hand up to those who are in need.

Environmental conservationist focusing on wetland protection and restoration. It's what I'm currently studying, now I just have to find a place that is hiring...

I'd be the warden of a penal colony for wayward male body builders/wrestlers on a self-sustaining, otherwise unoccupied tropical island a thousand miles from anywhere.

An Astrophysicists. But when it took me all day to learn how to spell it I decided it might not be the best choice for me.

I’d have a program that enabled disabled people to find rocks and fossils in nature. Whether it’s a kid or parent or aunt or whatever, a trip that all can enjoy. There are so many programs for a solo person to participate, but no family programs. At least not around here. And there are so many sites you drive right up to.

Author… science fiction, fantasy, ethics…

Yes, it's different from my current line of work.

I really want to be a full time writer. Right now I'm working on getting published, but to pay the bills I do retail part time. I'd really love to be able to make a living off of writing though.

What I do now means a lot to me. If I had tons of money, I would use it to enhance what I do. I don’t have a ton of money, so I’m going through an accreditation program, which should bring more respect and eventually more pay to my profession. I’m a DSP (Direct Support Professional). There are two million of us in this country and only 300 of us are accredited.
with money, I would advance the program.

I wanted to be a chopper pilot in Vietnam. Crazy huh?

This is an awesome post. I am in a trial certificate program for 911 Telecommunications Dispatcher. I have always had a huge desire to help people and have always carried jobs that have been in fields doing so. When I was a young kid I wanted to be a cop but growing up I changed to being in the medical field and did some nursing aid work and phlebotomy. I decided to go into retirement planning and entered into just direct customer service helping people over the phone so that I didn't have direct contact with people on a face to face bases on a daily. I left the workforce for several years and now that I am ready to go back I have decided that since I have always had my childhood dream of being a police officer but don't want to deal with the public directly in person even though I feel that we need more good cops on the force. I decided to enter the world of 911 Telecommunications and a second more feasible option to that goal. The course has never been offered before so I am one of the first to be taking this class to be more qualified for entry into this field of work. We are training right next to officers in the police academy. Right now I feel like I am exactly where I want to be. I am not worried about what the pay, benefits, or schedule might be.

I still think of emulating Steve Roberts and pedaling my bike with the computer on board.

An artist.
All kinds of mediums. music, sculpture, paint, etc.
Remember all the things I said I never remember? Remember them and do them! lol

Yes, it would be different than my other jobs.

Federal judge

I'm presently retired. IF I could go back and change things, I'd like to be a psychoanalyst.

No job. I would get satisfaction from walking the earth and helping out as many people as I could.

Head of the UN,

So I could say right now let's stop fcuking about and do some good. Let us start thinking about the next generation and stop fooling ourselves that we have done a good job.
I would get many of those inspirational children who have come through times so hard we cannot imagine to talk and let us see what fresh ideas our young have.Millions of unemployed in countries that have no running water, no eleectric, get these people working on massive pipelines that take sea water to solar powered de-salination plants.
Instal solar powered generators to supply electric and to finance this? Get rid of the toothless UN Army.
Ok so you did not tell me dreams were not allowed.

When I was younger I wanted to be an Astronaut. When I found out that I would only be going to the Moon/Mars (maybe), I decided not to. I wanted to go out into the farthest reaches of space, not just to Mars/Moon.

When they put out offers to go to Mars, I wanted so much to jump at it. Though it was a one way ticket, being a part of history excited me. Unfortunately I am now too old and have too many health issues to even be considered.

bar man

I would happily just for food and a few clothes go and help with elephants in India if that's a job. dump all the tec too. porn star would be good if I wasn't hung like a hamster. divemaster on the great barrier reef. special effects artist etc on films maybe.

I would love to have elite basketball skills and play in the NBA... But I really suck at basketball. Like really bad. Or maybe I would be an astronaut.

Archeologist.

I would pick a rancher in an open field

Either and ecologist or marine biologist counting starfish on a reef around a tropical island. I do this sort of work ocassionally but most time it is either unpaid, or low paid.

I would love to have my own business where I could make my own hours.
