What would it be? Money, skills etc no object.

Currently daydreaming about what I would do with my life if I didn't actually have to earn a living. I would love to own a little shop selling wedding dresses or jewellery or something like that. I could just potter about in my shop, talking to customers and looking at beautiful things all day. Anyone else want to share what they'd rather be doing?!

I'd like a little consignment shop (second hand clothes/bags) plus local arts and crafts for sale.

I'm not sure any of them pay well though...

Run a new age/spiritual retreat with a new age book store and crystal shop onsite where I can waft around sounding breathy and ethereal, saying namaste all day with a beatific smile on my face.

Undercoverbanana · 24/01/2019 13:29

Sleep. Or run.

I am a person of extremes!

Thecomfortador · 24/01/2019 13:31

Concert violinist. Or ballerina. Or duvet tester. Either would be fine.

SurfnTerfFantasticmissfoxy · 24/01/2019 13:32

Novelist or high-end interior designer. Living in Amsterdam or Stavanger or Edinburgh 😊

Being a zookeeper would be pretty cool. If I didn’t have to work I would definitely volunteer at the zoo I frequented as a child at least one day a week.

Racecardriver · 24/01/2019 13:35

Oh, or concert pianist. Or a professional thinker (the city I grew up in would get s new one each year, I still don’t really understand what they are for but a cool job title).

Metaplasia · 24/01/2019 13:41

A surgeon! I've just started uni so hopefully I'll get halfway there and be some sort of doctor. After that, open a retirement home for dogs.

EssentialHummus · 24/01/2019 13:49

Professional Rottie Cuddler? I actually like my job - I write CVs for a living and it's a good mix of money and helping people, with the right level of client interaction for me and enough time to faff.

Pilot. Used to always daydream about it but never knew how to get into it.
