    Ok, my life is at the vanguard of mediocrity. The best way to put it, is think the movie "American Psycho", my life ain't all THAT different. Problem is, I don't really like to do anything one might consider "constructive".

    I would like to tap into the numerous creative minds on PC to see what you can come up with.

    The WEIRDER, the better, preferably on a more "global" basis.

    I'm having a hard time receiving the "I love to help others who are worse off tham I am" vibe, but would you consider living in a third-world nation for a couple years and helping people who need the help? My brother worked as a Jesuit volunteer in Belize and Haiti for two years apeice. Sure it doesn't really do much for te up-and-coming corporate fast-tracker, but it gives you the opportunity to see how the other 80% live.

    Additionally, there' construction work to be done in the Louisianna and Mississippi areas affected by the hurricanes. I'm sure that would be appreciated.

    Unless, of course, you were looking for something a little more exotic. Perhaps the Lead Mop Operator at an adult book store/peep show. I hear that's a promising career move. :)

    So, are you actually thinking of contributing to society instead of just bashing those of us who do?

    There's a term for that: market saturation... A go-go bar in Bangkok is about as rare as an ardent liberal on PC!




    ...although I did have thoughts about a new type of stip-joint, I can't post up 'cause someone might actually do it and become rather rich... :p

    ...another thing I've considered, making Dirigibles "fashionable" for sightseeing tours...

    ...hovering roof rack manufacturer?

    You might look into becoming a professional diver.
    They work all over the world, in thrilling (i.e., dangerous) and varied situations.

    After the gloss wears off and they get tired of becoming "bent", the pros slow down.
    They open dive shops and cater to wealthy, bored adventurers searching for pretty fish to stare at. Usually the shops are in places like Belize, Hawaii, Cancun, Key Largo or West, Australia, Indonesia. They specialize in reef diving, boat diving or "big animal" (like sharks and rays? whales?) tours.
    Others do volunteer work as part of research crews or become dive instructors.

    Very interesting folks; tend to be widely travelled, watched friends dive and die, love the sea and everything in it, need to keep physically and mentally sharp throughout their careers.

    Male Dive Masters are macho types, into drinking and living hard.
    The female Masters are no-nonsense on the water, have keen senses of humor, look good in neoprene all their lives. But I doubt any of them would take any guff from you, Squidey. ;)

    How about revamping the Republican Party?

    If you want more of a challenge, how about revamping the Democratic Party?

    Not bad... not bad at all... Something I could pretty much start as a hobby and progress....

    although it still is rather "normal"... I want to trailblaze something weird and rather unusual! :D

    I'd be a bad politician, I'd draw a lot of lines. I believe there are people out there that cannot be reasoned with. A great politician cannot think as such... Of course, I suppose this all depends upon what you think makes a great politician in the first place... :ph34r:

    After becoming a diver, use the skillset to explore new avenues.

    Rescue diving is way beyond the usual.

    Divers are used in treasure hunting or salvage work.

    Teach kids to dive. It's a way for them to learn some physics, push their physical limits, and enter a totally alien world. Teach them some basic ecology and fisheries info., observation techniques, photography, how to depend on one another and what it takes to work as a team.

    Or use diving knowledge in some other, fantastic way. Research using barometric pressure differences in surgery or to treat stroke victims or emphysema patients or those with sleep apnea.

    Don't be the puppet. Be the puppeteer. Revamp the party. The vast majority of party leaders are not the ones running in elections. The ones that are out in the open are like Karl Rove. The ones that are running deep, we never read about.

    There will always be conflict with those on "the other side", in any profession. A great Pol learns how to deal with those who can't listen to reason. It's a skill that can be learned, as long as you are willing to listen, be flexible, and know when to cut your losses.

    Mel Brooks already did that, ON Broadway. Springtime for Hitler, all that.

    NYC already has a school for beggars.

    How about learning how to breed eels or other endangered species? Pandas have been done. Maybe sharks or manatees?

    Yeah, (no offense) but no one my age remembers that, late 60's stuff.... Besides, I could do a much better job, it would be one of those plays that starts off cheery, comical, then gets really dark, such that the end somehow glorifies the lack of Hitler's success, and makes us all feel better and appreciative... I dunno...

    ...anyway, breeding endangered species? Not bad, not bad at all.... "I breed Manatees.", great pick up line! :)
