Baker. Been baking as a hobby for a few years now and it's the one thing that I keep coming back to, no matter how much life changes.
I am a becoming a bit of a sourdough fanatic and am starting to see some results [1]. Thinking about building a wood-fired oven and baking a little for the farmers market this year to see if it could be a sideline I enjoy (in gradschool).
Relief bush pilot on the Amazon jungle... Today, there is so much need for transportation of Doctors/Teachers/Helpers within villages in the Jungle. Unfortunately most of the obstacles to achieving this are purely political/Bureaucratic.
Depends on the country, but I've heard of several areas (in Africa and Asia) where they're looking for pilots to serve remote areas. They have trouble finding them because it's one of the most dangerous jobs you can do (landing on a runway isn't fun when animals start crossing it) and many people quit after realizing that.
I'd open a bookstore/cafe that sells tech and engineering books. We'd run tech classes in a space in the back, with a discount for vets and artists looking to change careers. I'd live in the apartment above the store, with a garden on the roof. The wifi would be phenomenal.
What is the point of owning tech books when a) much of the content is online and b) there are new developments in languages/frameworks all the time?
I can sit for ages thinking about how movies and TV series are cut and edited, i think it is fascinating.
Surgeon would be interesting.
It is however not a big leap from the fundamental reason i am in tech.
I like to figure out how stuff works and fit together. I don't feel it maters that much if it is a computer or a human body.
