Many thanks to all who replied! Some of them got me thinking.

Wirt suggested:"If I were going to retrain for anything, it would be for 
either becoming a
rock star, a brain surgeon or an NFL quarterback."

Rock Star: Reminded me of a Rolling Stones Documentary where they first got 
world wide fame - in a haze of hash went to the Dominican Republic to do 
some recording - got out and at somepoint wondered what their manager did 
with all their money.

At least that's my recollection. I am wondering if it is too late for a 
balding 55 year old to learn the electrric guitar but hey, if Mick can do 
it...

Brain Surgeon - hmm, there's med school - then more school - I'd probably be 
about 75 by the time I finished my residency ;-)

NFL Quarterback - well, with one knee banged up from skiing, a bit of a 
paunch - the thought of being hit by a 300 lb linebacker makes me think this 
could be a very limited career

Actually I like the gig the male star in American Beauty took - tired of the 
rat race, keeping up with the Joneses and technology...took a job at the 
drive in window of a fast food restaurant.
