    My dream has always been to buy run down houses and just renovate them. Not to make a profit just to be able to take something undesirable, get in and be creative and make it new and let a family start a life together.

    I’d choose to be a professional traveler, exploring the world while getting paid to share stories and experiences—imagine the adventures! What about you, what’s your dream job if success was guaranteed?

    Something that could pay at least 100k, for that economical safety.

    Honestly though I would like a job with the trades or just focus on art and be able to live of it.

    If I had the skills, probably something with cybersecurity or perhaps an engineering profession with contracts with the military or something.Stability and a good pay are all I’m asking for.

    Founder of a high school academy of music and engineering.

    The job I would succeed at would be hiring competent and principled administrators, staff, and teachers – as well as gaining community support to produce talented, well educated and principled graduates.

    I would probably teach math or science there on the side.

    That is a great question, to begin. Probably a writer. Not that i even like to write, but if i were guaranteed, would be a great thing to have done.

    Bagel shop or sandwich shop. Simple, good bagels or sandwiches. If I was independently wealthy I would own one of each and pay a few people way too much to hangout and make delicious bagels or sandwiches. Sounds chill (I know in reality it’s likely stressful but it’s my dream damn it!)
