Theoretical: What would be your dream career choice assuming it paid the same as IB?

Golf Course Superintendent

Helping people understand basic concepts with money can really liberate someone's life and make them feel confident in taking control of their future. Seeing decent people make terrible financial decisions (unknowingly) kills me inside. Make it rain on hookers and blow if you want, just don't call it an investment. One of my colleagues bought his house back in '08 and has paid something like $5,000 off his mortgage to date but has no concept on how important interest rates/down payment %'s are. Scary. A lot of people are living very stressful check-to-check lives but don't actually need to.

You know those guys that have made their money, are half-retired and sit on 3-5 boards? All the intellectual stimulation of thinking about strategy and growing businesses from a high level, with none of the day-to-day garbage to have to power through. That's the dream.
