The best profession

[Reverend Conehead]

Is there anything you'd rather do for a living than be the starting Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys?

It would have to be pretty special and obvious I would guess, like the singer in a successful band or a film star or an astronaut etc..

Anyone got anything weird (other than nasty ailments)?

Screenwriter. I would love to write a movie that gets produced faithfully or write a serial TV show like Breaking Bad. I won some playwriting contests back in the 90s and had my work performed in Denver. It was a blast seeing stories that I wrote performed in front of a live audience. I write quirky and twisted stuff, and I was worried that people might not relate to it, but they did.

I have also always had creative ideas for marketing and also story telling. Toy ideas.

I wanted to be Anthony Bourdain but not so much anymore.

Cryptozoologist would be my first choice.

Other top choices...
archaeologist, astronaut, rock star (but I would live in the middle of nowhere), author, NFL DE or LB, fighter pilot

I’m sure there’s several others that aren’t coming to mind right now but that’s a start.

Screenwriter? I would have thought your first choice would have been Time Traveler.

To answer the OP, I would say Animator. I love to draw but I am not a good artist.

However, this would be the profession I would latch onto if I had the talent. I am certain I could create some really wondrously fantastical worlds out of my wacky imagination if I had the ability.

Doesn't pay much but has an attractive benefits package.

Does billionaire entrepreneur count?

Like the presidents, owners, and CEO's of Facebook and Amazon?

Sounds like a twisted combination of Dr. Victor Von Doom.
