What is your alternative career?

by
what if tomorrow, for some magical reason, your role, your field of work and your industry, all disappeared. Assuming you are not a millionaire by that time, so you still need to work, what would you do? What is your alternative career? Have you thought about it? What skills are you building and/or nurturing that could come in handy and that could get you hired in a new field?

I would migrate to somewhere nice in Asia and catch some job with 0 expectations. Like harvesting the bananas, guiding the tourists or whatever will show up.

@tomitomcat thats sounds awesome. Do you have any proven skills in guiding tourists? is it something you already kind of nurture at small scale? (as in, do you enjoy being a tour guide for your friends in a city?)

@nikolas_dimitroulakis I have masters degree in tourism so you could say so. ;) I've worked as a guide years ago and I organize trips for small groups, honeymoons etc in my free time for my friends ;) Apart from that I have some graphic design skills, worked as a photographer, organized events and trade fairs, even had my own company with handmade scented candles. I think that diversification of your skills is important ;)

In a parallel world, I think I could be a baker- or if I'm lucky, a pastry chef!

I want to be a tour guide as I love to meet new people with different cultural background really excites me.

@josh_frederick1 sounds nice. Do you think you would be good at it? is it something you have mastered or you want to master?

If my dreams can come true, I'd like to become a forensic analyst or psychologist
