I’d love to be a consultant researcher: basically, when someone wants to know something about anything, they contact me. I do research about a specific topic, write a short abstract of the info, get paid a large sum, and move on to the next job.
I’m also interested in doing conservator/conservation science work, but I have a feeling that it’s a “small world”, so to speak, and can be difficult to break into.
Hey! Wouldn’t it be awesome to get paid lots of money to walk dogs and pet/play with cats? (Of course, I do this for free, but still. :D)
