He mistakenly meant center fielder with the Oakland A’s. He knows he would like center field🤷🏼‍♂️ But he might also like Quartbacking, huh Scott🤷🏼‍♂️

Short stop for anyone who would have me, but the Braves would be a good option.

No quarterbacking. I don't want a job where people are trying to knock me down. I get attacked enough just working for Interlink.

I’ve been a welder, firefighter, plumber, carpenter and diver. I rebuilt and restored a lighthouse, finished and sailed a wooden boat in the Pacific, rode a motorcycle from Seattle to Miami and done wind sprints on Independence Pass. I’ve explored Crusader castles, touched Roman statues, climbed the mountains of Petra and swum in the Red Sea.
I managed the industrial safety program for all the SE coast Guard stations, investigated and mopped up oil and chemical spills, pulled boaters out of the ocean and maintained the lights along major waterways. I used to coordinate law enforcement in counter terrorism along the Tennesee, Cumberland, Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi rivers. I’ve sandblasted, repaired and repainted boats of all kinds and sizes from jon boat to icebreaker. I’ve built homes, dug ditches, sold pest control, installed cable, built cabinets, furniture and boats. I was a licensed financial adviser in three States and for a while, a partner in an internet trucking load business.
But you know what I love? Cleaning.

One day I hope to be a beach bum in Belize.
Most of us won't live 200 years to accomplish that much in our life time.

Recycling plastic litter or waste into useful items.
This guy makes small machines for doing such a task.
Watch "Extrude beams from plastic waste #preciousplastic" on YouTube

I wouldn't be doing for the money, just a retirement hobby that is awesome for the environment.

Most things I really enjoy would be less fun if I got paid for them. I enjoy most forms of motorsport racing, but wouldnt want to do it for a job. I enjoy fishing and camping, but it wouldnt be the same as a job. I have enjoyed playing music, but would never want to be a professional musician.
So I'll settle for whatever makes the most money in the least amount of time so I can spend time with family, volunteer work, and then the above hobbies.

My wife and I own a general store that my grandparents built in the 1920’s. I would love to reopen it as a store. Right now we rent the building to a group of local hippies that use it for various music groups on Friday nights and community gatherings.

That is so cool ! You know if the location is decent a convenience store can be a gold mine. Very high margins and expandable by adding Hunt Brothers Pizza, hand dipped ice cream, lottery tickets etc.

I agree with the paid part. My wife partner is a fabulous cook, baker. She did wedding cakes for awhile and we even did wedding catering. We had our janitorial service and we were rocking it. But after awhile, it ceased to be fun and I actually nixed the catering cake side. It interfered with our real company. We realized we had Two Service companies!
