If money was not relavent, what would you do?

faceman · 13-03-2008 03:57PM #1

OK there is a reason for asking this question, some of you might know it already. (dont spoil it for the rest!

)

Basically if money was irrelevent or of no object (i.e. you didnt need it or you had enough from e.g. inheritance. The point being that whatever you chose, be it working or travelling or dossing, you are not doing it for the monetary reward), what would you be doing with your life? Give some reasons why.

When answering, state what you currently work at etc.

For me I would be making movies. I studied film making in college when i first left school but for most, its a tough industry to make a good living from and it takes years before people get their "break".
In reality, I work in Finance.

I would open a shop for paranormal tourism in Ireland - I am in the advertising game.

So you won the €14m last night?

Did you win the Lotto? Brian Nolan is on line 2.

I am one of those lucky/annoying people that actually loves what they do!

I lecture in Accounting/Finance btw. Used to work in Corporate Finance, nearly twice the money I am on now, but wayyyyyyyy happier now

ScumLord · 13-03-2008 04:04PM

I'd wander the planet and buy loads of **** I didn't need.

gracehopper · 13-03-2008 04:05PM

I'm a project manager/developer. i'm destroying my soul week by week. If money wasnt a concern I would play music for a living and woulds aspire to play in a different city every night. I'd buy a plane with Gracehopper emblazoned on the side.

CaptainNemo · 13-03-2008 04:05PM

I'd be living in the country (say West Cork/Kerry, or the Yorkshire Dales or the Lake District) and writing books. Every now and then I'd travel to a big city in my helicopter to play high stakes poker. Oh and I'd also keep myself warm at night by burning a big pile of €50 notes, and would contribute 100 Billion per year to charity.

kev_s88 · 13-03-2008 04:11PM

if money was no object id travel the world trying food from every country and wiping my arse with 100 euro notes every time i got the scutz

13-03-2008 04:15PM

Train to be a GP.

ojewriej · 13-03-2008 04:15PM

I'd buy an island somewhere on Pacific OCean, and start my own country. Give Utopia a shot basically

Charlie · 13-03-2008 04:17PM

Presently completing my Masters in Commercial Law, but if money was no object, I would run a mass commercial campaign to promote awareness of steak and blojob day.

The wimmins need to Know!!!

humberklog · 13-03-2008 04:19PM

I'd like to do personal photographic portraits,yes nudes,of older attached women in Ireland. Take the photos and develop them with the client over the course of a day. 2clients a month would do as for the remaining time i'd be working on my album in paris. I'm a civil engineer.

Rob_l · 13-03-2008 04:37PM

If money was no object what would i do hmmmmmmm

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

lil-buttons · 13-03-2008 04:39PM

I would stay at home and make more babies adn have the time of my life doing so and would build a massive play house for them.

In reality - Im a graduate/mammy working in a sh!t company and on sh!t wages !

However took the steps to change to hopefully a better job!

phantom_lord · 13-03-2008 04:40PM

buy a big house, a ton of acid, and spend the rest of my life tripping with my friends.

Ginny · 13-03-2008 04:41PM

own a bookshop or be a forensic scientist.

DaBreno · 13-03-2008 04:48PM

Dedicate myself to my beloved Porn sites. Would probably go back to college too. Not particularly to learn anything new , just as a break really, take a year out of he rat race and decide what to do with my life. Again.

As an aside, If you had kids, would you be providing a good example by lounging around the house all day? not really working at anything? Im going to be a daddy soon, does having a regular job set a good example to the young uns?

ps. Are you now financially independant Faceman?

Maximilian · 13-03-2008 04:49PM

Nothing. It would be nice to do nothing. Sleep.
Then I would stockpile whores I think. Plus, live in the Alps and ski for the rest of my life.

Petey2006 · 13-03-2008 04:53PM

I too would make a movie. I've a few written already, so it'd be the next logical step. Financing, especially in this country, is next to impossible, and without financing, you've no movie.

I do work in television so if money was not relevent then I wouldnt probably change much, I'd expect the topic of the material we make would change for the better, but I'd still be doing the same job.

I currently work as an editor for community television, I dont get paid anything amazing, standard enough wage, but I love my job, and I have already used my position to get funding to produce my own programme in june/july. So I am getting what I want out of this job thats not monetary.

razorblunt · 13-03-2008 05:26PM

In final year of college at the moment looking to work in the IT/Business sector.

But if I had a choice, I'd love to be a chef or pub/resaurant owner.

Lux23 · 13-03-2008 05:39PM

I would be a life long student and travel the world during the summer.

Creature · 13-03-2008 05:58PM

Write horror/sci-fi novels or get a PhD and become a researcher.

faceman · 13-03-2008 06:04PM

peeps, just to clarify, i wasnt asking if you were rich what would you do, im asking what would you do if money wasnt a concern. Therefore you cant say "fly me helicopter" or "buy an island" etc because that would imply you were rich first and is more a dream etc.

Maybe im phrasing it wrong but essentially what you answer on some level illustrates what you should actually be doing with your life to make you happiest. (well according to some psychologist i was yapping to!)

Therefore so far, only Blitzkrieg and ND 1978 are getting the most out of their lives!

Holsten · 13-03-2008 06:17PM

Nothing.

I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.

AlmightyCushion · 13-03-2008 06:26PM

I'd sit around watching porn and eating cookies all day. Ah, the good life.

phasers · 13-03-2008 08:35PM

be a stand up comic

13-03-2008 08:39PM

travel a lot
other than that i am not sure
maybe study languages and music

but then i would get bored, i think doing anything for too long would have me bored, id have to go back to maths then
i am an actuary

I get you now.

I would read books and watch films. That is all.

as much as I'd love that to be true...I love my job, but my health and social life are not the greatest so it all balances out sort of in the end.
