Careers outside of finance.

I’m curious what careers people on here would go into if they didn’t get bit by the finance bug. Could be anything, law, medicine, driving truck, etc. if it helps, assume you’d have the same earnings potential as you would in your current or desired desk. It’s more of an exercise to see what folks are into or find interesting.
