The Setup ○ You have 9 possible lives, each with a different job/career. ○ It can be a job/career that doesn’t exist yet (did your current job exist 5-10 years ago?). ○ In none of these lives have you happened upon lots of money - you must earn a living. Whatever that dollar amount is, it’s enough for you to live comfortably. The Choice Choose what 9 jobs you would have and describe them in as much detail as possible.
