Which of these professions would you do if you magically had all the degrees you needed and the talent to do them. Let's assume all 4 of them pay the same amount and you will get a salary of about 200,000 per year. Which would you choose and why?: Professional Athlete Lawyer Stand Up Comic Veterinarian

I would definitely choose vet because I love helping and taking care of animals. I have always said if I had the money I would have a whole shelter in my house lol. I do love all animals! So out of those options that would be my personal choice.

i will choose lawyer profession because i feel that it suits e well. I dont like injustice and i work hard to get justice for me if something went wrong. Like wise i will work for people and i will work for poor people to get justice. So i will choose lawer profession which may give work satisfaction.

I would be a veterinarian. I really love animals, especially dogs. I would love to work with them and help heal them. I would probably have a hard time when they were sick though. I am pretty emotional over things like that. But, it would be a rewarding job.

This is a great discussion! Where dd you come up with these four jobs? I would have to pick Lawyer. I was always interested in the criminal justice field and sadly dd not pursue it. Although, I have often thought about getting back into it now.

I would be a stand up comedian. Well i like to be a stand up comedian. My friends are always telling me that i had a future being a comic. They all laugh to all my jokes (even if they are lame) you know they said i had that kind of natural feeling of being a comic. So ofcourse im gonna choose being a comedian to "make people laugh".

i would choose to be a stand up comic because i love making people laugh. a good laugh can always cure a lot of illness and it would give me a deep sense of fulfillment to be able to help a lot of persons by simply making them laugh.

It a good questions, i am not going to choose athele because i am not the sporty type and it does not guarantee work for old people except if continue as coach, lawyer don like dealing with criminals and long delaying court cases when crook murderer or innocent may get free because of legality issues.Stand up comic and veterinarian should be the choise.However i hate public speaking which are comician , hence i rather deal with animals hence will choose veterian.

I would definitely choose being a stand up Comic. I think entertaining people is as important as other professions enabling them to laugh for me is really rewarding because it lessens the pressure of daily living. It really requires a real good talent to be able to really succeed in this profession. Sadly I don't have enough talent and creative ability in real life to do so.

Hi! I think I will choose a veterinarian. Personally, I love pets and I am also very interested in animals.Although when I was in my middle school, I dreamed of becoming a lawyer but later on I change my mind because I don't want to defend criminals and lie for them as well just to win their case. Anyway, I love watching discovery channel and national geographic which tackles about animals. I want to travel to different places exploring and discovering different animals. hmm. Well, this is wonderful I guess but I end up being a nurse.haha.Funny,but I can't do anything about it.;))

I'd want to be a professional athlete because I don't want to talk all that much and animals really don't appeal to me that much.

professional athlete!! there is fame, money, respect, everything in it. But you also have to be careful about not getting complacent and losing it all!! It requires a constant hard work and a focused mind!!

If I had all the right education, degrees and diploma, i would definitely want to be a veterinarian. At least a dietitian for animals. The commercial food available for our pets these days, while a few are superb, there are horrible foods that are being marketed constantly. For this reason alone i think being a holistic vet would be something I could be passionate about but also to help people and their pets, be the best that they can be while enjoying life to the fullest.

All four of them appeal to me and all four had things to help others in the world. The vet to help the animals that help ourselves (animals help us to keep our sanity when pets). Lawyers help other people to get justice, using the law as s weapon. Stand up comics help humor us so that life is more bearable. Athletes give people hope that they might be able to do things like they do (if only in their dreams). I have not be a professional at any of them but have done some of each on an amatur basis so I can say that I would like to be all of them, not at the same time. I know that this will never happen because I am disabled and retired. I think that what evey you want to do, go for it and be the best that you can be. I did what I thought that most people thought that I could not do and that was to go through and graduate for Special Forces training to win my Green Beret. Just like Seals training many people wash out before the end. I was one that went all the way.

I would rather pick veterinarian. There are so many doctors in the world, and not saying that it isn't necissary but i think that animals also have the right to have medical attention. I think that i would feel much better with myself saving animals than, for examle being a lawer and have the chance of defending a murderer or something like that. I would pick profession athlete lawer because i dont even believe that they should make the money that they do for playing a certain sport. There are people in the world trying their best to support their family and when you look at the TV you get dissapointed when you see that someone kicking a ball makes more money than a doctors assisant, a doctor or even a judge. I would be a stand up comedian either because at a certain time you will rum out of material and it would be lame to repeat the same thing over and over again.

Thinking about my health and fitness now I would probably decide to be a lawyer. Lawyers deal with many people's stories and this is interesting. It's a challenge to resolve every difficult case, you have to study a lot and be ready to react to different situations in the court. There are lawyers who defend even criminals but I think that you could make this profession and be a honest person.

Without a doubt, I would be a veterinarian because I care about animals especially pets and work animals. I respect their right to life and to live as comfortably as possible with the help of a vet.
