If you could make a career switch and do something completely different, what would you do?

I love, love my job. I get to talk to some of the most interesting people on the planet and hear their stories, I get to see the world through other peoples eyes, and I get to talk for a living. How sweet is that? It's hard to imagine doing anything else. 

But if I had to make a switch and do something completely different, I think I would try my hand at refinishing furniture. 

To date I have completely refinished an entire bedroom set, a few desks, coffee tables and just recently I refinished a 100-year-old vanity.

It was such a treat to do this project. Someone had taken the time to write a few pieces of its history on the back of the mirror. It is originally from Saskatchewan and then it was bought at an auction in Calgary in 2005. The mirror was replaced after it suffered severe smoke and water damage. What caused it to have smoke and water damage? If only the vanity could talk and tell me all of the cool things it has seen over the years. 

So it has me wondering... if you could switch up your career path and do something completely different, what would you do?
