Prior to ten or so years ago? Supermodel photographer.

Now if i want to photograph whales with dicks I'll just join Wood's Hole.

Gunsmithing, although I'm sure there is more to it than I think

I think doing leather work would be cool. Belts, wallets, relacing baseball gloves and what not would be cool.

Thinking seriously about trying my hand at reverse glass sign painting and gilding

At least one poster suckered into a ban.

I’d love to do what the American Pickers guys do. Drive the backroads in search of collectibles. Seems therapeutic.

I would love to own a gun store. Class 4 dealer would be cool.

The three things that always come to mind with this type of question are:

1. dive trip guide (NOT AN INSTRUCTOR)

2. sea kayaking guide

3. high altitude climbing guide This is by far the most intriguing to me but while I could still make the climbs I don't have the extra juice in the tank to deal with emergencies and on 8000 meter peaks emergencies are not at all rare. For most people that summit an 8000 meter peak it is a waypoint in their life and being a part of that for lots of people would be really cool. Climbers from noobs to professionals are also one of the most interesting groups you will meet. They almost all have a storied life before they ever put foot on a high mountain and you get lots of time to learn their stories.
