Put myself through law school or vet school and travel the world.
I did enjoy working with kids but the financial aspect wasnt enough for me. Even though it was very rewarding and taught me a lot about myself.

I'd indulge my hobbies... I'd either write fiction, sing, do graphics design work, be an interior decorator, be a bridal consultant, be a web designer, oh, I don't know...

I would love to work with animals, too - valkyrie, I'll come volunteer in your no-kill animal shelter :)

If I had the $$$ I'd do something part time, work from home, and be a mom too. I couldn't just be a stay-at-home mom, though - I guess I'm just a type A personality :)

Oh yeah, and I'd live in Aruba. :D

-Teach at preschool (I volunteered for a long time at one and LOVED it)
-be a School Counselor in HS
-get my Ph.D in Psychology and become a great Psychologist (though that's what I'm planning to do anyways!)
-manage an orphanage and take care of all those children, and have every orphan find a new home
-buy homeless people everything they need
-become a makeup artist (how fun to play with colors all day!)

and this has nothing to do with money...but would be a great job:
-be this top exec of the San Francisco Giants and be great friends with all the players and hopefully date some of the cuties ;) haha. never mind the no-dating-in-the-workplace rule! :D

I'd say "f-it" to practicality and I'd move to NYC and start taking acting classes, and specialize in improv comedy.

Its always been my dream to be a part of a troupe like Upright Cititzens Brigade or Second City, and, of course, the top rung of the ladder would be SNL.

But, I guess I'm taking the practical route and will be using my improv skills in the courtroom instead. :D

I would love to go back to school and get another bachelor's degree; this time in something like engineering or mathematics. I have a degree in journalism now; mainly because writing has always been my great strength. I would like the opportunity to try my hand at a discipline that I don't really have a natural aptitude for and see how I do.

-Be a professional guest at the Riki Lake show.
-Direct the next "independent movie"
-Agree with playing for some bad NBA team.
-Be the next David Hasselhoff and start a new show called Mountain Watch, babes in tights and skiis what more do you need?
-And live my long life dream, be an Elvis impersenator in Las VEgas. All shook up.

yeah, to slightly further mine, I'd write the Great American novel, write a screen play for it, produce the film, as well as make a small, small appearance...Quentin Tarantino style. I'd never do the same thing twice, I might go on to study number theory (which was originally going to be my major) for a few years, do some work with mathematics in nature and/or religion, I would definitely travel, I'd hike the Apalachian Trail from beginning to end, There is so much I want to do, I'd definitely wait to write the novel after most of these other adventures though. I might buy a yacht and just live off of it for a few years (I met a man doing this a few days ago at the local marina, he's lived on his for 9 years!), but I'd constantly do creative, different things, but I'd eventually settle as a journalist, I think.

I think I'd volunteer in Public Television since I have a fair amount of expertise in broadcasting.

First, though, I'd get my son (our youngest) through college. He was just named a National Merit Semi-finalist and is looking at some very pricey schools.

Buy many apartment complexes and houses near campus, and only rent them out to students at below market value.....

Miami1839 10-15-2001 09:29 PM

One other thought came to mind. I'd have a 5 star hotel built on off one of the beaches in France. We'd have an amusement park, free breakfast, free happy hour, and an annual event(week long bash) dedicated to greeks around the world.

If only!
 
I would definatly finish school...it has taken me this long might as well...plus I have the rest of my life and James is giving me all this money? Oh yeah!
- Pay off my family bills, then send them anywhere with lots of cash!
- Pay off my bills, then vacation at the greek resort in France
- get rid of my crappy, crappy car
- buy my local sorority a house, and make it possible for sisters to live there rent free
- give lots and lots of money to the World Organization of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, so that underpriviledged girls around the world have the opportunity for even one night a week, to forget any problems they, their families, their country has
- then donate to all the other charities around the world
-travel
-buy the Montreal Canadiens so that they always stay a Canadian team (and for the same reasons NEwbie bought her team!)
-spend the rest of my life working on several charities

If I had enough money, I'd be a professional dinner party guest. I and a date would get dressed up, and over cocktails and dinner we'd make lively conversation with those at our table. It's always been a personal dream of mine to find this job, but I've never seen it in the want ads.

erniegurl00 10-16-2001 11:51 AM

Good grief James this is hard! I'm not sure what I'd do since there are sooo many things I want to do with my life. I think foremost I would finish up my degree in Speech Pathology, and with all of that money I'd be able to set up my own practice. Having money would be great because I could pay for school! Yah! Every college students dream I guess...anyway :) I'd also love to travel. I've always wanted to trace my roots in Ireland since I'm 1/2 Irish, and I really want to go through Europe and China. If I chose not to work I still probably would because I'm the type of person who can't sit still and not do anything. If I wasn't a practicing SLP I'd volunteer someplace. :)

maggieaxid 10-16-2001 01:07 PM

I would start my own event planning company with my friends in myrtle beach, hilton head, or charleston.

xok85xo 10-16-2001 03:33 PM

okay, so am I the only lazy one who if I had enough money would actually just NOT do anything, except maybe travel and spend the money? :)
