What else would you be doing for a living?

For those of you that make your living writing software: Let's say that for whatever reason you never became a professional software developer, what do you think you would you be doing for a living? I think I would probably have been a chef but there is a slight possibility I might have been a commercial artist or an actor.

I would have, and should have, been a lawyer. I'm still trying to get a law degree now, at 38.

An artist, graphic designer, writer, pro photographer, musician, counselor, consumer product designer, film-writer, landscape or home designer, tutor, electronics engineer, or ecologist. Gosh, it's so hard to choose... I have too many interests! Fortunately, I'm not only limited to one profession, and in software development I also do get to pursue my writing (albeit tech only) and graphics design interests to a fair degree.

not sure just started working as professional software developer. But the army sounded tempting for a while ( as fighter pilot or marine that is ).

Well since I also have a biochemistry degree I guess I would be a chemist/biochemist. Now and then when I get tired of all the inanimate bits I do long for the lab.
"When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, `Who is destroying the world?' You are."

Book store owner. At least, this is what I hope to be doing in a few years. :)
Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
If you ever set one up I'll come and work for you. I used to be a bookseller - apart from the poor pay, it was the best job in the world.

I'd like to do what I did while I was a student. Bum around, gigging with my band. Ah, those were the days.

Army is always a good career. More than anything else, it gives you a satisfaction that you serve and protect your motherland. :)

Engineering != Carpentry... I'm talking about using my hands to actually build houses (and other woody things). Not design them. :)

I was a senior programmer for years and was given the choice of changing careers and I chose to start my own Home Improvement biz. Like to work with my hands! And am damn good at it to. Mike

I have been an Electrician but didn't like building sites. I was a Soldier in the Parachute Regiment until injury stopped me jumping. I am a Company Accountant and have been for 15 Boring Years. I am Learning C# to stop being an accountant! I most of all though would like to be the guy who hires out jet ski's from a small shack on a tropical island, working from hammock and lazing about!:laugh:

That's the tricking question... Sometimes I think: "Need to change, do something else..." But the problem is what? I have no clue... And after a while when I think of what I do when they allow me to do it I like writing software... So I guess my stuck until...

I was going to go in the airforce but my accident made shure I couldn't join. I could never get passed the physical examn nor withstand the physical trials I'd have to take, not anymore.
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why. The only way we learn is by making mistakes.
