If you had not pursued your current career, what would you have liked to do instead?

I love what I do, but I sometimes wish I could have become a surgeon. Not only does it pay well, I would also get to cut into people and operate on them. 

How about you, muggers?

    A sniper and assassin. Maybe a male escort and porn star. This post was edited by Element 99 at January 25, 2020 4:55 PM MST

    Your first two choices would be murder to find employment with ,as most assassin are got shot of in the end.

    Do I need to point out to you that becoming a Porn Star might seem easy, but I'm pretty sure it's also HARD work if you are UP for it still... :(

    Not easy for you.  First applying to Recon, then Scout Snipers School.  Wash out rate high, that said not so glamorous if you made it.  In country survival iffy, I do mean iffy.  Assassin  not an MOS on any chart, in NATO look to France (SEDECE) or Israel .  They choose you, you do not choose them.

    Stateside given your presumed age, not an option.  SOG was the traditional point from there to contractor.Pick your 3 letter agency.  Currently SOG has not existed since the 80's.. It  traveled into the realm of fiction not reality.  No government or force of arms protections for US contractors, so secondary services are always used.   

    Element for Wet Work the US since the mid 60's has always used at arm sources.  PS the work pays medium to well, however not as glamorous as the movies.  At arm use your imagination, no former US personnel would ever be considered - political backlash if caught

    Thanks for the vote of confidence.  I'd need arms like Arnold Schwartzenegger to lift my butt that far up.

    I could help you practice. You might need someone to hold you up while you are doing so.

  • It's not exactly a career - just a talent.

    But I think I'd like to try something with a better retirement plan.
