Military.

I strongly considered applying to a military academy out of high school, and I again looked at becoming a JAG officer a few years ago.

I don't know about being afraid either time.  I don't think fear was exactly it, and I"m not exactly broken up inside over not joining the CF, but that's the one 'what if' that's stuck with me.

Yeah, if I lived in a scandi socialist paradise, I'd not worry about working as a sculptor, either. Someone else can pay my bills.  :D

Yes, but isn't sending unemployed, alcoholic prairie niggers to prison for stealing a bike a more rewarding and interesting field of work?

I don't live on the prairie. :rolleyes:

Combat engineer (I failed the West Point entrance PT test, but actually had the ROTC scholarship and turned it down) and meteorologist (specifically, I wanted to become a researcher at the National Hurricane Center).

Y'know, if BB or Scipio were inclined to do gay porn, they could take the stage name "Don Cockass."

I considered becoming a doctor at some point. I am not sure if that would have been better than my current career. Maybe.

I interviewed with the CIA but didn't follow up.

Military. I thought about it after college (and occasionally earlier), back when the job market was tanking and I couldn't even get an interview, but decided to try teaching in Korea instead. At this point I highly doubt I'll ever join.

My nephew did join the army recently, though, so I'll live vicariously through him.
