If the Salary Were the Same, What Job Would You Be Doing Right Now—and Why?
Honestly, I wouldn’t be doing any job.
I never hated working. I hated having a job—reporting to someone else, following somebody else’s schedule, sitting through pointless meetings, and having another person decide what my time was worth.
That is why I worked hard, saved, invested, bought property, and built businesses on the side. I wanted control of my own life, and I was fortunate enough to retire from the corporate world at 48.
If I absolutely had to choose something, I would probably buy and sell antiques and unusual merchandise. I have always enjoyed the hunt, researching what I found, negotiating the deal, and turning something overlooked into money. But I would still want to do it on my terms, when I felt like doing it.
To me, the greatest benefit of making money was never buying more stuff. It was eventually being able to buy back my own time.

Time to do what you want, when you want, how you want, with whom you want is the greatest form of wealth, as well as being in good health. As for buying more stuff, all is vanity. Great post!
