General wonderment today. If you could have any job what would it be? Who would you want to work for, if anyone? What would you want to do?

I would like to be self-employed at some point in my life. I have absolutely know idea what I would do though, so it isn't much of an option at this stage in my life. My present work experience* is good. A little tedious at times but I really can't complain. If I had to work for someone else my short list includes: Google, Microsoft, IBM, St. Louis Cardinals. Perhaps even Apple as they are really changing my perception of them. What kind of jobs? Programming consultant, DBA possibly?, statistician, technology evangelist? Not FoxPro programmer, I can tell you that much. But what about outside the tech field? Could I ever get outside the tech field? Screenwriter, writer, actuary(?), music producer, stand-up comic (ha!), poker player (is it gambling if it's your job?), pro-wrestler? Not sure. I like gathering information about things. And statistics and patterns (not china patterns, unless it is patters about China). What do those qualities make me best suited for? The computer field can get pretty overwhelming sometimes, especially when there is no focus on where you are going.
