Perhaps get a job as a programmer or program designer somewhere. I mean I do have this handy Bachelor's in Computer Science.

Otherwise, I dunno, probably kill people for a living. Lots of money in that I hear.

I've always wanted to be a dirty (for the right reasons dirty) cop like Vic on the Sheild if I got out of IT. That or work for CTU like Bauer.

1., would try to buy and sell stuff (anything goes)
2., would work as a watchman at some shopping center (and read some tremendous amount of books in the nightshift hehe) it's an old dream of mine
3., would work at a printing house, I used to operate heavy printing machines a long time ago. I actually programmed them (PRES) but I still had to know how to operate them. What really counts that I worked for such a company which surely wouldn't count as a disadvantage.
4., if I had enough money, I would become a film critic (wouldn't try to write in english ofc, I suck when it comes to english)
5., something else

I'll pass on the CTU job. Almost anyone who works with Jack Bauer gets bumped off and/or turns into a bad guy eventually, including Jack himself!

What I might become is not the same as what I would like to be. I don't know what I would become, but I would like to be a chef.
