If you could choose a profession for your spouse/SO...

[TravelingGal]

other than what he currently does or anything in the jewelery/gem profession, what would you choose and why?

(see DF, this is what you get for asking a rerun question today.)

Oooh is Tgal heading towards 10,000 posts?

I would want my husband to work in a job where he feels valued. He is currently going through selection for his dream job so hopefully he will get what he really wants.

Maisie, at the rate I go, I''ll get there sometime in 2010.

I have no idea how some people rack up that many posts in a year. I feel like I talk a lot on this forum, but somehow, there are more chatty posters than me!!

Wow, good question! I really have no idea though. He is totally suited to being an engineer and engineers make pretty comfortable salaries (or we will in a few years) so I think it''s a good choice. He would do equally as well as a research scientist, which isn''t too far off from what he''s currently doing as an R&D engineer.

He would make a great basketball coach; I''m not sure if that counts as a "job", but hopefully when we have kids he''ll be able to fulfill that dream a bit.

I never shut up on here and I still have a long way to go!!

Wow Maisie, I just looked at your post count...for some reason I thought you were over 10K already.

If you and I aren''t there after a number of years, I can''t imagine how much people talk on here to do it in a little over a year. That''s crazy!

We should start leaving lots of little posts like ''Lol!'' or

I have a feeling that is cheating though!

Anyway, since I can''t just leave it at that, I''ll answer the question and say my choice (selfishly) for now would be some kind of construction/builder handy man type. Would come in SO handy for buying and fixing up a house!! It''s always nice when your partner has a job with perks.

Uhm, pub owner. Why not? He''d be his own boss at least, and wouldn''t necessarily face unemployment issues like he does every year now.

 

[Lauren8211]

Id want FF to be a teacher. He has such a passion for computers, and I feel like being a teacher would be a good outlet for his non-stop energy. I think he''d really enjoy teaching computer science.

 

[Skippy123]

I guess Kinetic Art since he has a degree in Sculpture but it is difficult to make a living being an artist. Hopefully someday we will have saved enough money so he can do that; he actually made something for someone a year ago and always finds it rewarding. eta: or some computer programing class that has to do with art.

Something like a park ranger or mountain rescue.

You always crack me up girl!

 

[steph72276]

I would have to say movie voice-over guy. When we were dating in college, my roommates made him record our answering machine message because he has such a great voice!

 

[DivaDiamond007]

My DH is a total kid magnet so I''d say something involving kids. Either that or a clown

 

[LAJennifer]

Hmmmmm - well, I''ve always thought the perfect man for me would be a Veterinarian who does hair (to take care of my kitties and give me a blow out everyday).

Steph - My husband totally imitates the movie voice-over guy and was crushed when he died. That would be a good one for my DH too.

 

[neatfreak]

An indpendently wealthy SAHD.

Mostly because he is wonderful with our babies and I just wouldn't be happy being a SAHM.

Oooh blatant posting for the sake of it.

Now I''ll answer the question

... I think DH would make a great lawyer or politician. He has many of the same qualities that make my sister & her husband successful lawyers ... and the craftiness/schmoozability of smarmy politicians!

 

[FrekeChild]

We''ve been over why my post count is so high. And it''s not very often that I''ll just post an emotie.

If I had to choose a profession for FI, I''d say...video game designer/analyst (as in all of the computer coding), a government data analyst or have him start a no-kill animal shelter/sanctuary. He''s a hard one to place, and with him questioning his future in academia lately, it''s become something I''ve put far too much thought into.

Unfortunately, I wish I could come up with something for myself...anything.

Professional golfer. He''s very good. Wins lots of amateur tournaments, might as well make some money at it.
