Profession without Money?
I don't know if this topic has been discussed before, so don't be too cruel. When we are little we often come up with dreams of really bizarre professions when we grow up. I once wanted to be an ice-cream “wo”-man, since I loved chocolate ice-cream sold at the cafe in front of our building. Especially on those hot summer days when my mother used to send me down with a pot (kastryulya) to buy some paxazak (ice-cream) for cofe-glyasse . I don't know if any of you remember or know what it is; it's cold coffee mixed with ice cream and it's is the most refreshing drink in the summer.
Later I wanted to be a dancer, a tennis player, and later pretty seriously a theater actress since I was attending a drama school for a long time. Some time later I decided to become a journalist for some travel magazine. However my father convinced me that my bad habit of tardiness would damage my chances of becoming a good journalist. That was dumb, but at that time I took him seriously. Currently I've become interested in Computers and Networking. So I decided to become a Systems Librarian, basically merging my love for literature and technology.
However, I've always wondered, what would I want to do if the money issue was not involved at all. Would I still want to be involved in computers, or would I simply travel around the world and write articles about the life in other countries. Or perhaps I would have loved to be an architect or a Buddhist Monk.
What about you? What profession have you chosen and why? What were some of the professions you've thought of when you were young? What would you do if money wasn't involved?

. It's "paxpaghak", not "paxazak".
Thanks dear Flaming Wise Ass. By the way, another awesome thing to have in the summer is okroshka! Cold and cucumbery!
