I have no interest in starting my own business.  I just don't have the
mindset for it.  But on my really down days, I want to be a long-distance
trucker.  Or I'd like to take tourists around engineering marvels like
dams and power stations.  Long-term, when I retire, I want to buy a hill
farm with lots of sheep and a great view down onto a sleepy little village
with a lake dotted with dinghies.  Of course, I wouldn't actually run the
farm - I'd be crap at that - I'd rent out the rights to it to someone who
knew what they were doing.  Being a part-time warden in a national park
would be nice too.

Maybe I'd give lessons in musical theory in my Copious Free Time (ha!).
