Would be ace to be a racer, but not many people make a living from it. Not many of the BSB racers have that as a full time job, they have to work as well. To be honest I would just love to have enough cash in the bank to race.

I'm considering traffic as a possiable career path in a few years, but only 10% of job is riding/driving. My old skipper said that for 5 mins on blues is an hour of greif. Besides in traffic you still have paper work! I'm also cosdersing being an AFO or youth enganment.

I have had few awesome jobs, but I have found the most interesting jobs just don't pay loads of money. I taught sailing in the US, that was amazing fun but I got paid about $570 USD i think, back in 99.

I have worked on a few feature films, high profile TV I have several national and international credits to my name shows as crew that was good fun but again work can be hard to come by. One of friends said that I can't be a true creative as I won't "strave for my art" I eating and bikes far too much!

I haven't met a rich dive instructor yet, the jobs pays next to nothing te thing is its worth your not diving for fun. I think a dive master/master diver would be more fun.

I would like to involved in music, film art scence, but as above its really hard to make a really living from it, there are many that don't get old and have sweet FA. Is it worth it? I think as much as I would want that, just make another of hobbies in a few years.

The thing I like about my current job is that everyday can be very different or just rountine. It can be execting, but also scary espically a huge fight. The downside, it is the huge amount paper work.

Long as its intereting, I will do it. I hate rountine jobs, I hate being stuck inside its my idea of hell, so is wearing a suit I only have one, it was last worn over 2 years ago. I would like to have intresting life, thats my main thing.

Wow that would be great but I should imagine very stressful. Immense job satisfaction though.

Do you work as an engineer now? How easy was it to get a job doing that?

Footballer - no talent
Rock Star - no talent
Movie Star - no talent
Astronaut - no UK space programme
Fighter Pilot - insufficient brain

Yeah I am currently a Sound Engineer/PA Systems Tech but would like to just be the lazy Band Engineer hehe
Errr how easy was it? I started off working for nowt for a local venue and eventually after a couple of years was asked if I wanted to work for a reputable Sound company.
It seemed to come easy for me but I was ridiculously lucky. Being able to work for free and being ethusiastic is the key.
