Wish I knew. 44 now and still don't know what to do with myself.
I always quite fancied being a postman.
I am a metallurgist, which is pretty interesting most of the time.
already looked at fire service, no jobs going in avon and somerset 🙁
Would be 100% happy doing what i do now if it was 9-5, or at least with every weekend free and better evening shifts. I'm a tech op in a tv studio so there's no chance of normal hours! Video editing for promos etc would be fun as well.
Molecatcher or stick whittler
My official title would be National Shaman, but I would perform a number of important duties and be revered throughout the entire universe..
My father-in-law was a farrier. It's a tough job. Hard on the back and knees but damn interesting. He used to make damn good money too.
Fortunately I kinda love what i do for a job.
Tree surgeon. Climbing trees and chain saws.....!
i tried and tried to get trained as a farrier. love horses and girls in jodhpurs 😆
almost impossible to get an apprenticeship in it though so i became a sonemason instead. get to knock around in the countryside fixing up lovely old buildings 🙂 struggling to fill my working week at the mo though and it gets worse as the winter kicks in 🙁

Why would you want to implement SAP on anyone? Do you hate other people?
EDIT: Double post.
Air ambulance pilot - you get to do worthwhile job and fly a whirlybird - surely women would fall at your feet
If its while you're on duty its becuase they're terribly ill or critically injured - I'm not sure if that counts as "Wahay I'm in there!" 🙂
Probably same job as now but i'd like less hours and a lot more money.
Raf helicopter winchman would be fine....
Failing that, cameraman on Babestation...
Doffs cap to Bradley and his family

village idiot.
I fancied being Capt Awesome but Baumgartner pipped me to it.
In the meantime I am lucky enough to love my job an awful lot so it will do for me til I work out a way to go faster towards earth than him.
Forestry appeals to me, as does renewable stuff. As for a job just for fun and not considering the money, I'd love to be a ski guide somewhere, or a mtb guide in California or Southern Spain.
only caveats, no lengthy/expensive training required. i.e no airline pilots/astronaughts etc, has to be uk based too.so, jobs like working for an events company or a bike distributor etc
So that discounts doctors, PHD scientists etc etc then?
On a serious note I'd quite like to be a Medicines Sans Frontiers Biomedical Scientist.
I like to try being the guy who drives the gold carts around airports with that beeping noise, looks fun.
Demolitions expert/explosives engineer.
getting paid to blow shit up. booom.
seriously.
My ideal job would be pestering dull people who don't want to speak to you about where they are up to with things, then typing it all into a spreadsheet and sending to other people who won't look at it, interspersed with sitting in meetings of no interest or relevance. Half the projects would be shelved after 6-12 months and those that weren't, you would never actually see any results.
Sort of like a [waste of time] squared, but getting paid for it.

bra fitter
not gross/stinky/rough birds tho.
need to build up my experience.. any takers? (see exceptions!)
🙂
I always wanted to be.. a lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia...
someones going to be along with a youtube for you in minute, purist!
hmm, demolitions sounds good... but i bet there's a lot less blowing up than you'd expect!
The people who you work with are as important as the job. A friend of mine got a job on Necker Island. Loads of money, Loads to do etc but he GM was huge cockpiece so he left.
Makes me think that working alone is the best way. Forestry Ranger for me; battered old landy, me and the dog.
Unfortunately I am caught in the trappings of earning a decent living. Making that step down in money would be too painful.
