What would YOUR CHOICE of occupation/profession be outside the optical industry? Not what would bring in the heftiest paycheque, but what would give you the greatest sense of self-fulfillment? This just came up in conversation between a couple friends and I; interestingly, we all knew of several former welders who became chefs, a few truckers who went back to school for business degrees, and a number of former teachers who became social workers (only the last makes any sense to me).
So, just out of curiosity, what would we optical peoples want to do? I'll start my own thread out by saying, overwhelmingly, I want to be a chef when I grow up (read: retire). I dream of working in other people's kitchens as the 'guest chef' on weekends, having the run of the place to create and play with food. I love food and working with food; its amazing what happens to a regular old piece of chicken when you sear it, add some stock, tarragon, salt and pepper... And wine. Ahhh, the wine......
