Secret jobs.

[BoldonLad]

And in your twilight years you can become an environmental campaigner complaining about people travelling around the world unnecessarily.

Anyone in mind?

 

[Drago]

I always fancied being a gigolo, never managed it

My career as a gigolo faltered, because i gave away too many freebies.

 

[Arrowfoot]

Surprising similar to others - wildlife photographer, cafe, bookstore etc.

 

[classic33]

I always fancied being an assassin.

In between paid jobs I'd take out those people on my private list*.

*It gets longer by the day!

Indeed are hiring, full time okay?

 

[Milkfloat]

Pretty much everything listed above is a hobby or pastime, not a job. I guess that is why people want to do them.

Offer rejected.

Bookmakers shop for me no need to buy any stock people just come in give you loads of cash and walk out.

Am I the only one who always fancied doing a particular job but never got around to it or discovered you might be too old to start again? I have always fancied the perfect environmental camp site but could never afford the land, my own shop selling stuff I liked that if you knew about it you became a lifelong customer (bit pie in the sky that one). It would be a bike shop meets music shop meets what else might be interesting kind of thing. Lastly, a skilled carpenter.

When I was younger, I used to dream of having my own little farm, to make a living from, with productive animals and crops, and trees for firewood, and a tractor to chug round on.

And yes even to have little low key campsite, with a couple of paying side hustles teaching other complimentary skills to keep it interesting.

Now I've got all that going on, I'm thinking of finally taking up my girlhood dream occupation - but I'm afraid its still mostly 'secret' atm, in case telling it breaks the magic spell .

Mountain guide in the days before it became the crowded place it is now.

 

[Tripster]

Parachute regiment or a plod. Too old for either and probably way too soft and hurtable..... A vet was my other secret job desire, farming livestock not kitty cats.

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

I'm amazed no one has wanted to be an astronaut yet.

 

[mudsticks]

I'm amazed no one has wanted to be an astronaut yet.

Maybe they already did that, then got bored of all the rocket science ??

 

[Dayvo]

I'm amazed no one has wanted to be an astronaut yet.

That’s what my Dutch-style coffee shop is for! Major Tom’s Hangout Shack.

 

[Andy_R]

Second hand bookshop exactly like Barter Books in Alnwick- pity they got there first.

I always wanted my Uncle Bobby's bike shop on Bondgate Within - R & K Wilson - but sadly he retired and sold it before I was old enough to take it over.

My dream job was always Paramedic. I finally got the chance to try it out at age 39 when I became a volunteer Emergency Response EMT with London Ambulance Service, attending calls to cardiac arrests, strokes, trauma cases etc on my days off from the day job.
I discovered that it would have been a poor... no, disastrous career choice for me. It kills you inside if you're not strong enough, and I wasn't. I lasted a year.
Be careful what you wish for.

Anyway, I have a new dream job. Shunter and / or wheeltapper. I have no real idea what those jobs entail, but they seem to have a nice social life.
