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

Golf Course Superintendent

Videogame critic

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.

It would be nice to have Tom Friedman's job where you get to travel the world first class in luxury hotels, and then make observations about the state of humanity that consist entirely of strings of meaningless buzzwords.

Stephen A. Smith shows that he is essentially the weather man of NBA predictions, fucks it up royally each year with the utmost confidence - is still employed, no doubt on a solid salary and would get to meet these phenomenal athletes.
