If you could be paid decently to pursue any career or hobby outside of nursing, what would you do?

I would either be a travel photographer or own a knitting or book store :)

I'd like to be a long term product tester of products I'd want to use, for instance:

That F250 to pull that nice RV to a variety of camp sites, testing them all out for years and years:D

Also test out all the new electronic gizmos, computers and DSLR's:D

Then of course all those big ticket items that go in homes, heating and air, W/D's 'Fridges, Dishwashers...you get the picture:D.

Not only would I get the products free and when they break replaced free, but I'd get paid a whole GOB of money:D to make sure these items stand the test of time and me.:D

Fun question BTW

I would be doing something pertaining to either historic preservation or interior design. I plan to take coursework in both over the years as I can fit them in. Eventually I would love to parlay both interests into some sort of paid hobby and/or third career well down the road.
