What job would you do if you could go back and restart your

[tigersupporter]

I'd drop out of school, year 10. Let my mates laugh at me for 5 years as I worked as a apprentice electrician, trade school etc, and be a Sparky..

you better make that year 11 at least. my boy has just finished year 11 and also completed certificate 1 in electro technology, and is still finding it hard to get an apprenticeship as a sparky....and they say there is a trades shortage

Nothing different ... I'm sure I would have made mistakes, experienced different influences and had high's along another path but who's to suggest it would have worked out better?

[redwhiteandblueblooded]

finish my degree and do exploration geophysics as was my career goal. Went all through school wanting to be a chef but after doing work experience in a few kitchen decided I preferred it outside.

[locky801]

Do the same as I am doing now, only thing different is that I would have put more effort into study and then be a boss, not just under one

[Dog_ger]

Something to do with tourism. Resorts....?

I don't mind people asking me, Where can I get this. Can you do this for me....

A concierge?

Ha, to wear a suite in dayly life not just to weddings and funerals.......

In a way I do similar now but for pittance....

[Snaggletooth Tiger]

For me, working at the zoo

I'm sure there's room in the primate enclosure for the likes of you Troy Boy!
Think about it....
You don't have to work, a roof over your head, fed daily...
If your caught 'pleasuring yourself' in public or throwing faeces it's deemed socially acceptable!
(apes are really a mob of sicko perverts eh!)
You wasted your time working at Mitzo's!

[Mr66]

My choices would be, in ascending order:
3rd/ Talk-show host (ie, Letterman,Leno etc)
You get to goof around and carry on like a dill.
2nd/ Sportscaster.
You get paid to watch sports. 'Nuff said.
1st/ Playboy photographer
Self explanatory

A pilot who flies 747s or the new Airbus 380s would be awesome.

Some sort of video editing job.

Prospect Oval groundsperson could be good too.

a LION TAMER!

and now for something completely different...

One day soon I will get into property....

Buttered scones for tea?

[JAS]

Bar work is over-rated, trust me!

To this day, I wish I had that few extra points to get my Journo degree,...

Otherwise I probably wouldn't mind being an air hostess or a presenter on Getaway or the Great outdoors!

What aspect of journalism did you want? As someone who did that, I never completed the degree, and it didn't matter a jot. If you actually still wanted to do it and had the circumstances to be prepared to start out (ie, you can cope with a cut in pay), organisations like messenger, leader etc hire non-students as mature age if they think they can write, are interested, and motivated and sensible. Let alone all the new media outlets that are springing up.
Media companies churn through so many people you may be surprised how many options are out there if it's what you desperately want to do, if you're prepared not to start as either the replacement for Kerry O'Brien or the new Mike Sheahan.

Definitely sports... is there anything else ?
Once upon a time I would have even stuck my hand up for a bit of commentary but I couldn't see myself doing that now, except maybe a boundary rider or special comments.. but that's very interesting information Rog... cheers.

FC if you wanted to get some practice in on the writing aspect you could always try posting a few game reviews on here during the season. I'm sure there are plenty of people around here who would be willing to give you some sensible feedback (as well as a bit of banter) and you would probably be doing any far-flung Port fans a huge favour too...just a thought
