    I am retired so to fantasize about what alternative life choice I would have made is to only contribute to this thread (BTW ........... I think this is a great thread, just saying)

    - I would have loved to have simplified all .... by just being a surfing instructor living in Hawaii.... owning a small plot with a native hut ripping around in a 1978 silver anniversary Corvette and spanking the Monkey with gorgeous Chick Tourists 3 times a day minimum.

    I'm way too slow and short to play safety in the NFL so that dream went out the window. As a 17 year old kid joining the AF I wanted to be a meteorologist, the AF made me an electrician. Can't complain as I was good at that and it led to many construction management positions after my military career finished. I honestly can't think of a different career path...would love to go back and NOT meet an ex but that is a different topic.

    I had a fairly successful career; still, if I had a choice to do what I wish I could have been (no experience necessary), I would like to have been an NFL (American pro football) coach or at least an offensive coordinator. The challenge, good pay, first class travel, chicks the players turn away.

    Actually Mr C (note the familiarity creeping in) we apes are moneys, as much as it hurts us to admit it: "Monkeys, including apes, can be distinguished from other primates by having only two pectoral nipples, a pendulous penis, and a lack of sensory whiskers". I scored 3 out of 3 on that! Yipee!

    I know this because I took my degree in not-knowing-anything-but-being-able-to-copy-it-and-put-it-on-a-forum-with-a-sense-of-authority. But then to my horror I found out that there are many others (some on this Forum, but not you) who must have done the same degree. I would chat with them about some of the things they write but as none of us know anything, I now consider it pointless.

    Just remember, that as far as coaches go, the NFL stands for Not For Long.
