If you could do any job putting aside your disability

and disregarding any required qualifications, what would it be?

For me it would be a pilot or an astrophysicist.

For me it would be a air stewardess. For my partner it would be a teacher (he has undiagnosed moderate dyslexia). Interesting question.

I met a pilot a couple of weeks ago when I was fishing. He told me he wants to be a police traffic officer because his job was boring. 

Food taster would suit me

Balloonist, pilot, astronaut, novelist or illustrator please. Let me know when you find someone who'll take me on @66Mustang!

Great responses so far. 

My other idea was army ... all the opportunities sound great. If a commercial pilot is boring maybe then I’d combine them and be a RAF or army pilot.

A Paediatric neurologist; a Michelin star chef; writer; artist.

Assassin...I'm already brilliant at espionage and creeping around silently...

Slightly more realistically would be some sort of international historian/archaeologist.  If I had to pick one area it would be an Egyptologist...digging up treasure from 5000 years ago and using the information gained from that to update our old perceptions of their civilisation.

I believe I had the perfect job before this rotten gate crashed came into my life.

For 12 years I worked on local tourism.
In Halifax and I ran the wonderful Piece Hall Tourist Information Centre. We had visitors from all over the world. I learned a bit of Japanese and my school girl French and Spanish came in handy too.
 I also ran the Hebden Bridge centre too. Another chance to meet people form all walks of life.

Give me my legs back and I`d do exactly the same.....

I have a few a food critic a travel reviewer or hotel inspector. More serious occupation a lawyer. Or a more relaxed job a sun bed attendant in some tropical location

I would love to be a wedding planner, Support for patients who are in Intensive Care, and their families.

I trained as a Secondary School Teacher when at uni, but decided it wasn't for me as I prefer younger children.  So always thought about re-training as a Primary School Teacher when my health was better, but never got around to it so a big regret for me!     I would love to work with animals in some capacity either as a kennel maid or veterinary nurse, but would probably want to take them all home!

When I saw the careers master at school back in the 70's I said I wanted to be a zoo keeper and he threw me out saying "come back when you can say something sensible". Sorry Sir, I still want to be a zoo keeper. Or to work with animals. I was a pet carer/dog Walker for a while, but too many people doing that now. I got squeezed out. Second dream job would be horticultural. I love plants and gardens. Anything to do with the natural world really.

I'd love to be a secondary school teacher, an occupational therapist or writer.

But sign me up to the online community astronaut adventure!!!

I think my son and daughter would be a toymaker or a toy shop owner. Last time we took the twins to the local toyshop at the mall, they loved it. The twin’s bedroom is full of all kinds of toys. I must sell some soon.

An interesting question,
1)Nuclear physicist at dawn of nuclear era- no tickling dragons tail.
2)More down to earth a job with a gold plated final salary pension with an new car every 3 years and a middle class lifestyle with the holidays I could never afford Disney Land USA, Space centre.
3) A secure lifestyle with no worry of bills though door or dreaded Brown envelope with DLA stopped at any time. Every day I wonder the impact on our children of scraping by.

Maybe a job where getting a brown envelope isn’t dreaded but in fact a nice bonus, like a politician

Suitcases full of money, exotic locations travelling the world with beautiful women 
ahh

Mr Bond
or 
A Bond Super Villain and simply liquidation of Bond rather than playing with him and allowing him to Escape.

How about a Royal-you can race cars, have jet set lifestyles and are a state sponsored scrounger, but perfectly ok as Royalty

I would go back to my previous job before I became ill, which was working with under 5s either I  preschools/nursery, especially in a SEN role.
But I would like to do that part time and the rest of the time I would go professional making cards and crafts to sell at craft fares etc.

Willy Wonka and chocolate factory seeing as in the fictional section.
