Iā€™d be a hairdresser/colourist. Iā€™m very good (in my hairdresserā€™s opinion) at colouring hair - in natural shades and unnatural shades. She says thereā€™s ā€˜a frustrated hairdresser living insideā€™ of me and I think she might be right. Itā€™s like colouring in but with chemicals and dyes and on a page that has 1000s of following pieces that can turn into anything.

I also think Iā€™d be pretty happy working at a cattery and playing with other peopleā€™s cats all day while theyā€™re on holidays.

Or a tattoo artist! Iā€™d love that :slight_smile:

They say dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Now Iā€™m sitting in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

Making one off ceramic pieces
Or be an architect though it would have to be really cool buildings.
Or buy old interesting derelict buildings and bring them back to life.

Ha. I studied architecture and practiced for a couple of years. At university all our projects were really cool buildings. In the real world they were home renovations. I was so disillusioned that I quit.

And then I did this. We bought a turn of the century Bungalow and spent a year renovating it. We now live in it and I feel so fulfilled.

I wanted to be an architect when I was younger. Create unique homes or buildings.

wow, i studied architecture for a couple years too, as i always wanted to be one. Seems to be a theme here. Amongst other things, I was discouraged when the tutor said most grads end up designing car parking spaces or extensions!
