what would it be??

personally, i would have to say golf. payouts are good and there is minimal wear and tear on the body, which assists with my skiing years. and besides, golf is AWESOME.

if that fails, i wouldnt mind being tanner hall either lol

swimmer. win silver and possibly a few golds, and you're fucking all over the place.

skier. everywhere you go skiing people know you, and you get custom equipment.

hockey. most popular in north america.

golf would be up there.

golf would be sick, but i'm gonna go with the nba. I like football but its too much wear on your body. NBA would be a ton of fun, and good money too.

I forgot to mention that's from the team itself. With endorsements/sponsorships/commercials etc, you'd make so much more.

Golf, period the end. You actually earn your living, you have to go out and perform your best each time you play just to make money and that is the best part. It would always be a challenge and I like that

I dont know how any of you guys wouldnt say pro skiier? Who cares that youre not getting that much moeny, you still get paid to ski park and go heliskiing, i'd say its the best job possible...



although if skiing isnt an option id say NFL Linebacker or something.... im a skinny white kid but i love playing rugby and hitting people and whatnot.
