This IS my second occupation. My primary was teaching math.

Which I may still do, but not math - maybe teaching something programming related.

I learned to play accordeon as a kid, but didn't like the kind of music which exists for it (read: 0.001% of rock is played on it).

I'd like to be an interpreter. Translating for newspapers would be fine, or at conferences, or even for tourists. Not sure that the other languages I speak would get me far, though :).

If everything else fails, I could do fixing things. Considering the amount of work we did on the house, I've learned it all - mounting doors, replacing walls, carpeting, plumbing (just read http://ndragan.com/pv/WaterHeater.html, you'll understand :), some wiring, tiling, painting... and this is only our second house.
