linguistics

music
typography
object design-manufacturing
engineering (if I was any good at math)

but not none of them would be more interesting than Architecture, just really close seconds. Music maybe, but it's probably the only one that takes longer than Architecture

if i had it to do over i would like to be an astronaut. space is intriguing. the fact that there is just so damn much of it.

yep, astronaut

physics or maybe creative writing. but i got into architecture in the first place because it was basically a composite of a milion different things i was interested in. i'm academically fickle.

Landsccape architecture.

Dammit. That's embarrassing.

If you are really going to hate on landscape then get it right. It's landscrap. Now mow my lawn.

Woooo.


Haven't heard that one before....

advertising - be creative and make tons of money, not to mention actually having a noticable impact on society (not necessarily good, of course, but the power is there)

a master chef

real estate developer ... 'cause you get to hire and direct the architect and, if you have half a brain and are willing to manage risk, you can make some serious money at the same time you're having a positive impact on the communities in which we live ...

the fact that so many developers don't have a positive impact on their community doesn't mean that i (we) would go down that same road

i would have enjoyed a career doing what John Grisham and Tom Clancey do ....

...Writing crap?

materials R&D

i'd rather be a writer, maybe a foreign correspondent- but i don't have the talent. so i figured i'd be an architect, maybe make a little money. . .

nuclear and quantum physics

Whoops, that was me, posting on beatledud's computer. I think he would be interested in custom car building. Actually I don't think, I know, he just told me.

Comicbook artist.

magnetism as part of magnatism.

ninjitsu
fabrication/furniture making

philosophy

neuroscience

drive people crazy

marry an italian wine maker and have eight kids

... that's a pretty bold statement from somebody who admitted publically that he want to be a landscape designer ....

caring for animals, people, and the needy.

Someone who works with teenagers - but not a high school counselor because they are resoundingly hated by the entire student body. Plus they don't make any money. So maybe life coach for wealthy people. I like to be helpful.

Fake a dream...

This has morphed from "what would you rather pursue" to "what would you rather be."

Ditto on ninja and backcountry guide.

I did undergrad in creative writing and spent time in journalism, and I have to disagree with most careers focused on writing, except for maybe foreign correspondent, in which case I'd rather be a photographer anyhow.

I'd also add:

- Jazz Musician or Rock Star (note that I'd be happy making a living as a jazz musician, but for rock, I'd need to be famous)
- Flyfishing guide (haven't given up on this one or backcountry or mountaineering guide just yet ... someday maybe)
- Lonely Planet or Global Trekker correspondent
- Pro mountain-biker or adventure racer

pirate...eye patch, hook, parrot, and all.

Driftwood .... don't be embrassed I did both degrees, Landscape first as a matter of fact, got registered in both and have never been embrassed by promoting both, got many a job because of it. My office does both and its pretty satisfying.

I haven't seen a lot of people discussing how satifisfied they are in their job on this site, have you?

beatledud:

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.

BlueGoose -

I often make bold statements. I'm rather well-read, especially concerning Grisham and Clancy, and in my over-educated opinion, yes, they are popularist crap.


And it's landscape architect, jackass. You'd do well to learn the difference.

Whistler -

Thanks, and no worries. The only embarrassment I feel is for BG here...

guitar virtuousity...
and/or the overthrow of the republican fascist regime.
naw....those idiots are taking care of themselves.
guitar virtuousity and a really good bottle of beer.

driftwood: well, i guess you put me in my place ...

at least i know how to spell ... you pompous ass:

driftwood..........................Landsccape architecture.
