If I had a do-over? Hmm.
I\'m still trying to get it right, the first time. I got another nice personal note from an editor last month, with encouragement to keep writing and submitting.
I\'ll get it right, one day!

Oh I would likely have been a veterinarian. I have always loved animals and think I would have been a pretty good vet.

pre.
Molded latex for makeup and for monsters. Still lots of it used.
But at 50, that only leaves a couple of years for training then about 10 years of work and they have to pay your retirement. And contrarary to what everyone would like to believe, they do think about things like that come hiring time.
Which would you rather hire: a 20 something or a 50 something with no experience. You\'ll only average about 5-10 years of use out of either one, but the younger one will work for less and cost less on your insurance.
OOH! OOH! Me too! Me too! Can I sign up?!! Pre-CGI or post-CGI ... doesn\'t matter to me.

True Story Time:
When I was in Highschool, back in the Regan era, I had one teacher who wanted me to go to art school, one teacher who wanted me to pursue writing, and another that wanted me to go into photography. However, since career titles such as \"Writer,\" \"Artist,\" or \"Photographer,\" usually have the word \"Starving,\" prepended to them, I took the advice of my Calculus teacher and got a degree in Computer Science and Aeronautical Engineering.
Today, I tell highschoolers, \"You want my advice? Become a plumber or (second best) a mechanic. The jackholes running (or ruining) the economy cannot outsource their toilets, or tow their overpriced, imported POS toys to a third world country.\"

Computer game design probably, or animation. I always thought that would have been cool and I tried to get into it a few years back before coming to my senses and going to grad school.
Paleontology would be fun Jeff. Jeez, why not give it a try, at least to work in some aspect of it. It would be fun to go on some expedition, even doing grunt work. The PhD would take some time if you wanted that, but you only live once, right?

If I had my time over again I think I\'d go for the hardest and yet most rewarding job I\'ve seen.............Parent.
The hours suck, from what I hear 
Anyway I\'m still finishing up my college degree (now a double major, with Comparative Literature added to the Psychology degree!) so I don\'t know if I\'m allowed to participate.
But I think doing custom furniture would\'ve been really fun. I always enjoyed woodworking in Industrial Arts class at school, and I\'m always pissed off with computer desks and entertainment center cabinet things not being the way I want them. Seems like a logical career move, since it would cut down the cost of furnishing my house/apartment/whatever immensely lol
On a slightly more serious note: I\'m really considering doing an Industrial Design program before going into grad school. Seems like something fun, and maybe I can pay the bills doing web design/graphic design while working away at my PhD.
