I want to retire early, but I would still keep working because I find what I do stimulating and rewarding.

Retirement for me would be working small jobs that I want to do, and taking classes that I find interesting. I’d probably be taking jobs at small businesses and charities.

    Similarly, my fantasy is that If I won the lottery, or otherwise became independently wealthy, I'd be doing a ton of different entry-level jobs to find one that hit as a passion.

    Construction worker, stagehand, (i've already been retail), food service, intern for anything that requires a degree I don't have, etc.

    I like my current job but if I didn't need the paycheck then I'm not sure I'd stay. I might stick around if I could negotiate terms and only do the parts I liked, though.

    I wish I could learn a little about everything, but our culture pushes us to commit and be deep instead, and then we get stuck in a job that used to be a fun hobby.
