"No idea and to be honest, dreading having to retire/not work and will definitely be on the look out for vacancies at B&Q etc as the idea of not working bores the pants off me and hate working part time as I do at present " Yeah the idea of not working bores me too. It's why I like to think of what I would do if my choice were interest based rather than monetary. | |||

"Bear with me here, it's my first day back at work after a long holiday break So, if you didn't have to work for a living, what would you do with your time? I think a lot of people would travel, so that is a given, but what I mean is what day to day things would you do with yourself? I'll answer the question first - if I didn't have to work I would spend my time volunteering at animal charities (like Dog Trust) and exploring the outdoors. Maybe even open up my own shelter. What about you? -Courtney" I'd be helping out at dogs trust with you | |||

"Study. I'd love to do another degree. I could just pick a different subject every few years. I would love that. " If you get scholarships or a paid PhD program you might be able to actually do this. Just publish enough articles to guarantee your entrance into the next program -Courtney | |||

"Im lucky that I get to travel the world with my job, and have now managed to check off 23 countries, favourite so far being Greenland, amazing scenery. If I wasn't working you'd find me at a race track Which one?" Any track, UK, I love Oulton Park, world there's only 1 - spa. I'm just happy smelling of petrol and oil, I never washed my overalls when I used to kart. The smell of castrol g30... Only beaten by Victorias secret bombshell! | |||

"I retired and spent a year travelling the world. I then got lost a little as I didn't really have a focus, I should have gone on and studied but didn't. I went back into a full time role but that wasn't for me. I now do consultancy and pick my hours, days and can take a month off at Christmas and 5 months in the summer to chill life is good " That does sound like a good life. Enjoy! | |||

"I'd disappear into the cozy world of academia because clearly three degrees (no singing) is not enough. I'd finally get round to writing a book and I'd be even geekier than I already am. " You haven't written a book yet? Jesus, pick up the pace! | |||

"Courtney, this is such a brilliant and timely question for me. I'd secure myself a warm hovel that those who loved me for myself would be eager and happy to snuggle down and jangle in. We'd drink red wine and discuss subterfuge and shit and giggles. I'd help you with your dog refuge and tell everyone i could do it so much better and call it Bert's Bodega. I'd throw paint at canvas and consider myself the greatest artist that ever lived. I'd fuck everyone I wanted to and console those I didn't with the notion that they could do so much better. I'd feed the poor and listen to their stories. I'd write the books that everyone wanted to read and read the books that everyone wanted to write. I'd laugh and dance and tell the judgers that I can't tell them to fuck off cos I want them to join in ....... I'd make a chicken do ten meals and see the beauty in every cloud formation and hilltop. Finally I'd convince every 6ft 2inch adonis that I was a harmless old woman then i'd fuck him senseless and leave him gasping. " | |||

"We don't work now. Our interests are gardening, growing our own veg. Belong to national trust, so go to lots of houses and love the gardens. Do lots of walking to keep fit, in our old age!! Holidays in canary islands and Greek islands. It's great not having to fight over who has what holiday weeks at work. Helping with grandchildren, walking our grandson, a very lively, year old cocker spaniel! No, don't know how we had time to work! " Predictive text! Should be walking our 'granddog', we don't have a cocker spaniel for a grandson, | |||
