If you knew you could get a well-paying job in any field, what would it be?

I'd sit around and write novels and poetry for a living. Too bad the chances of that happening are so low, and too bad my creativity's shot right now because I'm just too tired and busy.

I would do exactly what I am doing now, which is work in a community media center assisting folks with their aspirations, only I'd get paid a heck of a lot more. It would also be nice to be able just to make films or videos and not have to worry about where the money would come from.

If I could get a well paying job in any field: it would be writing fiction, science fiction, or anything else, while I lived in a cabin in the sticks, with lots of dogs, and I could just write, without worrying about traffick or anything.
