What would you RATHER Do?

I was on a football message board and someone asked the question, "if you were not doing your current job, what would you be doing?" That was an interesting question for me as it is not something I had really considered. Hmm. I am not really sure what I would be doing if I was not in my current field.

I suppose I would likely still be in some sort of a graduate school. I am pretty sure of that since I have always aspired for those tough to reach graduate degrees. But in terms of what area, I am not 100% sure. I do have a few ideas though.

I have always been interested in computers and technology, so perhaps I would be involved in that field. Maybe in robotics. Perhaps I would have been a comp sci major and be heavily involved in utilizing robotics to help humans do things. Perhaps I would have been one of those guys tht design robots so that they could do jobs that are too dangerous for humans.

Perhaps I would have become deeply involved in chemistry/biochemistry. Maybe I would have been a lab rat and become a researcher. Maybe work for Phizer or another one of those big drug companies working to create the medications of tomorrow.

Maybe I would have gone into medicine. Maybe I would have gone on to become some sort of a doctor. Maybe I would be one of those guys in a white coat running around looking important. Maybe I would have been a doctor that had a certain area of specialiation as well. Just a thought, as I am not sure if I could have been that.

When I was younger I was very interested in astronomy. Perhaps I could have been an astrophysicist. Maybe I would be that guy calculating orbital shifts, distance, and discovering new spatial phemomena. That could have been an interesting life to lead, and one quite different from the one I have now.

So there you go. Four different Big Tex's that could have been. Could YOU have seen me in any of these fields? If so, which? Also what do YOU think you could be doing in another time and another life?
