Doing what I do now, but not having to drive 750 miles in a weekend to do it.

The job I have now is pretty dreamy.

I would probably have to say:
-becoming an architect and draw up people's houses
-being a traveling photographer for National Geographic, GQ, or Travel magazine
-sitting back and do nothing while everyone buys my mircosoft merchandise and makes me the richest man on the face of the earth...and the moon!

I don't know, I've always wanted to be indecisive.

Do local gearheads and yourself a favor.  Lease Tulsa Speedway and re-open it. [;)]

Write books for a living. Do seminars on the material in the books. Wait... I did that for a few years, but was married to a b. (Plus I was self-publishing - yuck.)



As a Cosmetologist, always trying a new idea, I though it would be neat to teach some of my techniques and styles to fellow artists, either through the seminar route or yes, even a self-published manual, but thought better of it. It's not so unique if the rest of the world knows it.



Don't diss your own plan - it's amazing how unique your ideas are when packaged correctly. If you're an expert - others will pay a premium for what you've got. The premium price in itself makes the material or skills you teach available to a select few, thus making your techniques "rare".

I say go for it!

Well, it is a thought, certainly one to ponder a little more closely! These are notions becoming that much more vivid. Be it the fashion scene in New York, or even resettling in Vegas, or even self-publishing and teaching, it does give me pause.
