My father asked me that when I was about 12. I told him something other than what was on my lips because I knew my family couldn't afford it--a lawyer.

Computer programming, and I'd stay at university until I had earned a doctorate. (They didn't even HAVE a computer programming degree in the university I attended...when I started. I could have chosen a different university and earned a degree that would have given me a job with NASA...)

"Pretend your 18 years old..." I'd choose to be an English teacher, and teach people the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE.

The place to start is to identify your dream job. For me, I'd want (first and foremost) a job that I would either enjoy, or at least not mind doing. I'd want the option to work at home. I'd want a well paying job that would allow me to retire way earlier than age 65. I'd want an 'in-demand' job that allowed me to find work in most foreign countries, in case the need to expat ever arose. Not sure what jobs/careers would meet these requirements, but I suspect using these parameters, one could filter out a load of choices that don't qualify.
