If money were no object, what job would you really want?

I would be a recording artist and keep writing a lot of songs and earn money from it, since I do have a passion for music. I'm a musician.

As a matter of fact, you can still earn money from your passion online. You can do covers, showcase your talent in song writing by posting a video in YouTube. The thing here is that you just have to compete with many talented people and earn viewers in YouTube. I hope you become successful as well in this field. You know, it will be great knowing the fact that you enjoy what you do and at the same time earn money from it.

Yes, you're right. I do have cover videos uploaded on Youtube but doesn't gain a vast numbers of viewers and subscribers. I still can't monetize my Youtube channel. However, I'm enjoying working out in the field of music outside the online world. I do have some gigs on bars as well as on wedding and thanksgiving events.

Writing a song is really fun. Sometime all the things that I can't say, I divert it into a song. Being a song writer or musician is really priceless. If someone listening to your songs or appreciated your song are enough and can't compare to money.

I also love music but I don't know how to play any instruments. I can only write lyrics and imagine tones and I envy you for having such talent. As an addition to Vinsanity's advice, you can actually upload your compositions on Soundcloud because from what I've heard, a lot of recording companies actually visit Soundcloud to look for some good music that they eventually try to buy from composers. They also, sometimes, recruit recording artists from there.

That's a great idea, i'm a musician myself and along with my band mates tried to have a carrier with it. Although it was the most fun days of my life, it didn't came thru just because we have to go our separate ways. One of the major reasons why we separate is financial stability, although we have some good profit back then it's not just enough to support a family specially when your just starting a career. It would be different when we don't worry about money.

That's absolutely right. Making a living with music particularly in a band doesn't really work out for many, especially when you are already having a family. It doesn't make you financially stable. In fact, it's really fun but in terms of earning money from it, could be struggling.
Yet, if money were no object, it really works out well.

Yup, it would take three or more persons to make a band. Also you and your band mates really needs experience to be able to perfectly sync your playing. Chemistry between your band mates takes a lot of time. The problem is if one of your band mate decide to leave because he/she needs to work.

This could not happen if money were no object...

That's a great thing to hear because it's always nice to hear that people have passions for things like music. Like some of the other users have already said, there is nothing stopping you from trying it out because you could post your music on sites like YouTube or even SoundCloud. It would allow you to make some money from your passion. You could even try it out as a part-time activity/job until you start making more.

You sound like me. When I completed my university education, I was already earning better than a teacher by freelancing in papers. This I continued working as a freelancer and never considered joining a regular job. Freelancing is a career where you are unable to build a secured income. Your income will always fluctuate and most of the time you will remain jobless. In the times, when I do not have any assignments, I feel like joining a regular job, however, I cannot imagine myself working under people.

Freelancing is not a bad option at all. It's much better than a typical 9 to 5 job as you have more freedom. The best thing about freelancing is that you don't have an angry boss telling you what to do! However, it takes hard work and patience to build a reputation in freelancing.

I have been a freelancer for more than 10 years and I can tell you so many disadvantages about freelancing. Most of the people say you have flexible working hours. However, this is not true. When you get the freelancing job, you will have to work hard to complete in time. If the delivery time is two hours later, you might have to work even in the middle of the night. Well, you also have an angry boss. Your clients are your boss and you have to play by their rules. If you disagree you will be out of job.

Do you actually have a full control over your life even if you have your own business. Imagine you have an ecommerce business, by having this business of your own do you think you have full control. I don't think so. let me explain. Some one buys from your store, you have to deliever the product quickly so that you gain trust.

It is better to have your own work instead of working for other people. However, before you make choices, you need to find answers to a couple of questions. For instance, are you looking for financial securities? You have 50-50 percent chances of success when you have your own business. However, when you join other company, you will surely be drawing a salary.
If you want to have your own business, you need to be prepared to take the risk. However, there is no risk in working for others. These are just a few examples.

As long as a hobbyist writer, you can create a name for you, even make some money. However, when writing is your profession, it is difficult to make money.

You can make money as a writer, however, writing is the lowliest paid professions. You can create a logo in 5 minutes and make $5.

I am a CPA by profession and I admit that it's not the best fit job for my personality. It is a high paying career though and I can't totally give it up. If I had the choice and money is not a consideration, I'd be a paleontologist, archaeologist, or a historian. I can spend years, or my lifetime, investigating physical evidences of prehistoric life and writing about it. I'll probably spearhead missions to uncharted places where there are likely to be archaeological finds.

Hi there TheArticulate yes there's a pretty big sleeping market here in the Philippines for American comic books and action figures, which was first introduced here by American G.I.'s during WW2.

The reason why it's sleeping because, in the 70's up to the late 80's and early 90's, a lot of students collected DC , Marvel and others like Archie, Epic, Dark horse etc. Then the comic industry took a dive in the 90's by that time all the 80's collectors are then gainfully employed and have started their own families, fast forward to the present most of us now have time on our hands to go back to our childhood hobbies and it would be great to have a comic book and hobby shop for all these old time collectors to congregate in.

I'm still a student but next year, hopefully, I'll be working in the same institution where I'll graduate. I'm actually an Education student and next year I'll be a teacher after studying my degree for four years. I took this course because it pays a lot. However, if money wasn't a problem I would love to work as a TV or Movie Producer. However, that kind of job is too risky because there's no assurance that everything I'll produce will become a hit/blockbuster.

Actually, I see nothing wrong with doing the work that brings the money, but the truth of the matter is that we get bored at doing such job for a longer period of time as the passion is not there.

This is really easy for me to answer. If there were not restraints on me financially or in any other aspect, I'd be a filmmaker for Hollywood. Either directing or screenwriting for films, it wouldn't matter to me, I'd just love to be part of the creative process behind a big box film.

I mean, really, the job wouldn't even have to be working for Hollywood. Since money is no object, I could be an independent filmmaker and work to produce films with my friends locally, which would be a dream job for sure!

This is the same with me as I feel quite happy when it is all about taking out time to write. Writing is one of the best ways that I get to express myself and that is why I don't take it lightly whenever I am giving the opportunity to begin my writing. Also, I am the type of person that enjoys being creative when I write as well.

I think all of us feel great whenever we have time for writing. It's a blessing to get to write to your heart's content. I mostly do some free writing where I pour my ideas until I've written all of them. I do a bit of editing with the time I have left.

I think I will choose the lifeguard in the beach. It's looks boring but I really like that. All I have to do is to sit in the corner, watch the people, waiting for someone who needs help. I'm able to sleep while working, and I'm surely will enjoy the view.

I don't think lifeguards sleep while working lol, but yeah being a lifeguard seems pretty chill in most days, but when action calls, you really have to work hard to keep people safe, and it can be also a risk to your own life during the job.

Yes they do If money were no object, what job would you really want?

. I saw a lot of lifeguards doing that. You're right, that's the problem about that, you need to risk your life by saving people. It's actually alright, that's gonna be my job. Actually I think the average of people who needs lifeguard's help is just one per day or just less than one. I need to work out my body just in case.

Oh, I guess I just haven't been near the water/enough lifeguards recently. But yeah, people are generally more concerned about their safety now so fewer people actually need saving. Still, any job which requires you to save lives can be pretty stressful.

I hope that you don't ever become a lifeguard because you are not meant to sleep whilst working lol. That would be a huge mistake and very dangerous to do because there could be someone drowning in the sea or in trouble and you wouldn't even be able to know because you are too busy sleeping If money were no object, what job would you really want?

Life in the beach is really great, there's nothing like being near the sea. I would really like to own and manage a resto bar inside or near a beach resort that would be pretty fun, because most of my customers would be beach goers and I just love meeting people.

Being a world renowned psychologist is one of the best things that I enjoy doing and one fact that I've come to notice is that many of the people in the world are in dire need of people to talk to and share their problems with.

This is the reason we always have that situation where psychologist are one of the best paid for they have a big role to play as long as the world is concerned.

If I could have any job in the world, then I would love to be a F1 driver or just a racing driver in general. I just love cars and it would be a dream to be able to drive expensive cars in races and even winning those racing competitions. The funny thing is that this job would actually be pretty good in terms of money.

Working something that is going to rise your adrenaline up is definitely a great choice for a job, this is also a career option for me, because I like activities that make your blood boil, because they make you feel alive. An important requirement for a job is to make you feel like you are improving and not just staying in the same place

I love my job however the salary is not that good. What I do is I look for ways to earn extra income. I love writing contents and blogging the reason why I entered as well the world of freelancing. My point is, you can always find ways to enjoy and at the same time earn money. You just have to be resourceful and practical.

Same here. Not a lot of people can do that. Being practical and resourceful involves creativity. You'd have to think outside the box. Sometimes even outside of your comfort zone. Overcoming this obstacle will lead to success and a fruitful career in life.

I'd be a marine biologist, since I love nature and research about the marine wildlife and I could do that job every day even without a break. It's sad that research, in general, isn't supported in our country so there really isn't any big opportunity for such endeavors.

That's a great job because you could do a lot of good for animals and marine wildlife. Doing something that you love and can enjoy doing is such a good thing because not only is it good for you but it can also be good for the wildlife that you care for.

I currently don't have a job and finished a BS Accountancy course because according to my parents, it is really easy to earn money through this field eventually. Anyway, I already learned to love this field but if I'm going to answer your question, I think I will pursue teaching. I love sharing my knowledge and feel the satisfaction that I am going to teach someone and he/she is learning from me.

I'm passionate about food and given the chance owning and managing a Pizza Place is another dream job option that I would really like.

Pizza is my favorite food and I can make one from scratch, from making the dough to the sauce and toppings to baking it. It's one of those things that I love doing.

The current economic situation of my country and corruption in all arms of government have made it almost impossible to get a job befitting of one's skills and profession but a job of cut and joint for even university graduates. Currently, I'm not sat with my job but I don't have a choice, if I would have my way, I would be a software developer and IT specialist.

Hi Martinsx1. That's really sad to hear. That's actually a problem in my country as well. Our economic situation is not that good that most degree holders don't have jobs that suit their skills and their college degrees. Actually, some Bachelor of Education graduates, due to the lack of vacant positions and small salary, often choose to work at a BPO company because it pays a lot than most schools in my country even if it's not related to their bachelor degree.

I like my current job, and if nothing major changes I will do it till the day I die, but if I could just jump to something else it would probably be something to do with music. Maybe run a little record / instrument shop somewhere, but since those are not profitable nowadays it would be a bad idea otherwise.

Nice choice, I forgot that. Being in a cruise ship actually is my dream and I think it will remains dream. Only rich and famous people can only afford that and if you're not. much better to work in a cruise ship. My brother is still luck because he is seaman and I think it's almost the same, although in not luxury ship.

This is so me! I've always wanted to be those guys that you see on TV, that can travel all around the world, showing all the monuments, parks, museums, restaurants, guiding you through all the places you should go at least once in your life. In fact, my favorite memories are the ones that I have from cruises, I want to go back so much.

Becoming a successful Digital Nomad is among my top 3 dream jobs. Being able to work and earn a living while travelling the world armed with a smartphone, phablet and a laptop I think would be the new norm in the near future. I would like to live like that, although I have a family, but I think, I could travel a third of the year.

I think being digital nomad is really hard. The reason being you need regular gigs from the people. And some of the time it can be really good in terms of the lifestyle. But very few people have managed to pull off that lifestyle. And one needs to do a lot of hardwork for that.

I think I maybe in the field of publishing companies especially in creating a manga (japanese comic book). I dream to become one of their editors since I was young and started watching anime and reading manga. It would be awesome also if I become a translator from Japanese to English but I think it'll take time since I'm not yet that educated in Japanese Language. But as of now, having a business is more important to me because I believe it'll lead me to become rich and I can be able to provide jobs for people as well.

Woah, that never crossed my mind. That's what I would like to do if given the chance or if money is of no concern. That way I can be a part of manga and anime production and I will be the first one to know what will happen to the story. If money were no object, what job would you really want?

If money were no object then one of my choices is to devote my time in becoming a food blogger in YouTube, I be been watching several food bloggers lately and there's a couple of food blogging YouTube channels I'm subscribed to Mark Wiens and The Best Ever Food Review by Sonny Side. And I really like what their doing every episode is a culinary adventure. I really want to be like them.

Actually, money is always my primary concern. If I am not receiving money, I lose interest in the job. If I get more money for the job, I am more interested. For instance, I am more interested in doing the job that pays me $10 rather than doing a job that pays me $5 even though I might be more comfortable working on $5 paying job. I take a lot of interest in writing in religion. However, I will be more than happy writing in real estate even though I have no patience in writing real estate.

If money were no object, I would spend my time travelling to every restaurant in the Philippines, just to sample their food and cuisine. While featuring it in my YouTube channel and writing reviews in my food blog. Also, I would write a book about all the restaurants I've visited. That would really be fun to do. But I don't have the money to support this idea as of now.

Just what i was picturing, but not exactly. I would do a lot of travelling for sure, but not particularly going to different restaurants to taste and author a book about different dishes, i will be writing about the the different adventures from all corners of life that i will be going about. So, if money were not an object, i'd be doing everything else, everything i've always wanted to do.

Yeah travelling would be a great thing to do if money were nothing.

Definitely I will make a lot of friends all over the world.
