If you could do any job based on something you enjoy...

What would you do?

Mine would be assembling Ikea furniture, either in store or in peoples houses.

I love building it, it's very therapeutic.

@ArtisanPopcorn theamericanroadtripcompany they're out testing routes at the moment!

Hairdresser and I love it

I’d love to develop houses but live abroad so it’s not possible here

Would love to write a book that gets made into a film so I can have a walk on part 😂

I’d be a buyer for museum shops. I LOVE a good museum shop. The National Space Centre is one of my favourites. That and the Natural History Museum.

@troysmammy 😄

I'd love to be an archivist in a museum or stately home. All that nosing around in dusty boxes and possibly finding something not seen before. I would be happily lost for hours

Rugby player, I was for a while, but the league I was in didn’t quite pay enough to quit my main job.

Tv critic

@Carpathian2 I'm an archivist and sadly it's not like that at all, I always remember being told to enjoy rifling through the boxes as a volunteer as it would be the last chance I get! I think only possessive academics or retired groundkeepers who become "honorary archivists" of stately collections get to do that, then don't let anyone see them 😂

I have amazingly good ideas so that would be number one, as long as I was well compensated. I run a business which I enjoy but would love to run a forum. Finally, anything creative and well paid!

I've always fancied being the person who buys furniture and all the domestic stuff for film or telly. Especially ooglies
I'm a great shopper, but have a limited budget and always feel guilty about waste, if it was my job I could relax.

Professional violinist, but one that just performs in the orchestra rather than being a soloist and preferably one that is paid very well with minimal travel!

Figure skating coach. I'm currently working towards this, need my skating to be at the right level then I can start training as an assistant coach :)

Gardener in the walled garden of a NT property with Victorian greenhouses and coldframes.

Growing veg in the greenhouse, but I need to learn to grow things over the winter as well as during the summer.

I think about growing salad stuff and selling it as a pack, eg lettuce or rocket, tomato, onion, radish, cucumber, but I don’t think I’ll make much.

@pimbee thanks! Planning a USA roadtrip in a few years when my DD(5) is old enough to enjoy it (and old enough so that we can enjoy it!) I enjoy the planning as much as the doing so this is fab!

Gin taster

I’m not discerning enough to be a food critic but I like eating it so I’d have to be Royal Taster - tasting all meals for some controversial monarch who suspects assassins of trying to poison them

I'd make an excellent personal shopper for gifts. If I could get paid for doing that, all my dreams would come true.

Interior design. With unlimited budgets!

Working for the Royal Collection as a curator

I think I'd like to run a tea shop slash community centre

Blackhead squeezer

Id love to write the blurb for holiday cottages, "set in acres of rolling farmland", some really ham it up, but that would be a great job.

This isn't very ethical, but also writing essays for students who can't be bothered. My degree is in English Lit, and although I don't have the time or inclination to do another degree, I would enjoy doing the odd essay. I wouldn't actually do this, but theoretically it would be enjoyable.

A wedding planner for alternative brides, a milliner or a Christmas tree decorator.
