I originally had this thought as one of my many "win the lottery" daydreams. If I did win the lottery I wonder what I would tell people when they inevitably ask "What do you do for a living?" I really wouldn't to tell random people that I have millions of dollars. Instead I would want to either tell them something really really boring (ex:Corporate accountant) or something socially acceptable to do for a living, but not something you'd talk about (Ex:mortician or Pig Breeder).
What about you? What would you tell people you did for a living if you really did nothing?

I would probably either go with student because I would actually be or Writer. When they ask "what do you write?" I'd change my answer every time. Oh, Cookbooks. Instruction manuals, fantasy novels, blogs about cheesecake, etc.
I'd probably say that I am living out of interests without mentioning specifics. Or just say that I am trying to be writer. Which would be true if I had such money I would focus solely on trying to write instead of looking for work.

I'd say I do woodwork...mainly because I'd finally be able to afford all the tools and I actually WOULD do consignment work.

You miss the point. Unless you're moving to your own island and never having company some stranger somewhere sometime ask you what you do for a living. That's the question.

Ohh, That's better. I'm going to use that when I win the lottery. I was actually in Military Intelligence, so I can use the lingo. I was just an analyst, so I didn't do anything impressive but I can speak the jargon.

a few years back, some dude in my high school class won like millions in the lottery, so I came here and posted I was pissed off because now I would never win the lottery because there's no way in hell two people in the same high school class are ever going to win, just so I could chuckle over the people who would show up and try to splain to me that that's not how statistics works.
