I’d probably teach something like scuba diving.
I’d be a teacher
I’m a software engineer so I’d probably seek a way to use my skills in a way that benefits people, possibly something tied to volunteering work I already do. And also contribute to some open source project.
I’d try to maintain a somewhat regular working schedule but with fewer hours per day than I currently spend at my job. Maybe I’d travel and work from different places.
Travel, camp, travel. Play with dog
I think the saying “if more money wouldn’t change the way you live your life, then you’re already rich” applies to me pretty well. I don’t think my life would be all that different. Maybe I’d spend more time working on my own projects instead of customers’, but generally speaking, there’s nothing I’m not doing because of financial limitations.
My ultimate goal, though, would be to buy a small old farm with some land and spend the rest of my adult life working on that.
I’d like to think I’d actually do all the art I’m too fucking stressed to sit down and focus on. Maybe make a video game or two.
My long term wish has always been to fuck off to somewhere not-too-warm and tropical, and write stories from a place where I can see the sea.
Get high and scroll Lemmy, apparently
Work so that others can also have their needs met.
Work to solve problems. Not on a fixed schedule, but my choosing.
Also, long walks and visiting people I like.
I’d sell all my things to just travel. Living in one place and being stuck in a routine is like a mental prison for me.
Work on Free Open Source Software. Seriously, I fucking love software engineering and I can’t really imagine doing anything else with my life. In fact, that’s kinda my current plan - work towards financial independence and then work on things that matter to me, on my own terms. I really hope I won’t get burned out somewhere in the process.
Same here. I wanna study compsci, do some research into things I pick up as being interesting along the way, then work on FOSS for as much as I can (without burning myself out, or anything like that). The world doesn’t appreciate FOSS enough, but it could very well be the future of computing, as our capitalistic society quickly gets fucked up :')
All I want to do in life is make music, woodworking, and gardening for food. I would do that until I expired with a smile on my face.
Be a librarian. I always felt like being a custodian to knowledge was a noble pursuit, and I respect librarians alot for it. I never went into the field myself because I couldn’t afford the schooling just to get a job that in my area, doesn’t pay very well. If pay wasn’t a problem? Hoo boy!
Make stuffed animals and donate them to hospitals, fire stations, and police stations
Organize town-wide scavenger hunts
Learn to cook good food and give it away to people who want some
Start a group that would teach people how to use a sewing machine.
Organize a bearded dragon rescue.
Trim people’s hedges
Make videos to share all my knowledge with people for free
You know those people who restore old machinery and equipment? Locomotives, historic warships, industrial sites and so on? I’d absolutely be dedicating my day to that. There’s something so satisfying about seeing that old stuff work, but they’re always chronically understaffed and struggling to keep up with everything.
Oh, and write a novel.
