It’s Never Been about the Money

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

PROSE – RANT -REFLECTION

When I started working, I had no idea what I wanted to do or, better yet, what I was doing. I remember working to help my mother so I could help buy school clothes. Whenever I went to work, it seemed to be for a purpose other than money. Yes, money is an obvious by-product, but it wasn’t a primary reason.

Throughout my life, I did whatever was necessary to care for my family. However, I reached a point in my life where things are simpler. So, today’s prompt is an easy one to answer. Let’s establish a few ground rules.

  1. Magic resides in the hearts of every species on the planet. We must remember to believe in the power and beauty inside us. Be Magical!
  2. Time Travel is real. Nothing else needs to be said.

So, with the establishment of the above parameters I will list jobs I would like to have.

  1. Radio Disc jockey circa. 1950’s: This is the birth of music as we know it. Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Sister Rosetta Thorpe, and the list goes on.
  2. Used Bookstore Owner circa 2050: Books will be relics by then. Most people would have never heard of a book. Therefore, traffic would be minimal. This means I sit around reading all day, and no one would think I’m being lazy. It’s my job, who cares about the money.
  3. Owner of a 24-Hour Diner Why? because diner food is awesome. And I could sit and drink coffee while writing down my time-travel adventures.

      1. I think there’s an good chance she taught Elvis (and therefore all the rest of us white boys who pretend to understand rock and roll) everything he knows. (In a mystical sense, of course.)
