  • Dance club/bar, without a doubt.  I loved me some Jack & Cokes and dance parties back in the day.

  • Assuming this is after my dad crushed my hopes of becoming a psychologist, I bet I would have opened my own day care.  I don't know if you guys were aware of this, but I was very mature for my age and had been through so much.  I loved babies and wanted to have them right away, so having a day care would have meant I could be around kids all the time and have a job that allowed me to stay home with my own brood!

  • I would have started my own restaurant that only served appetizers and desserts.

  • Mine would have had something to do with saving the whales, I'm sure of it.

  • I probably would have sunk it in to getting certified as a scuba instructor.

    Mod, I will give you $20k of startup capital if you share the story behind that.

  • Restaurant, for sure. I had a love affair with the food service industry at that time.

  • Definitely a babysitting service. I was an original 18 year-old.
  • See Kristen, we could have pooled our newly found 20k.

    I would like someone to give me 20k now. Although it would go to my student loans.

  • I probably would've forgone the "business" route and used the money for voice and music theory lessons to turn myself into a legit coloratrua soprano.

  • I'm a geek...I would have started up a website that sold house plans that I designed.  :-)  I did it anyway for fun - why not make money doing it? 

    Turns out I work for a residential architect now and I do just that.  I'm one of those rare people who has known since I was about 6 what I wanted to do.  My mom got me a stack of house plan books and I would look at then for hours.

    Kiz = dork.  Geeked

    True story:  I designed this house at my first job in 2005 (I didn't work for this builder...they "outsourced" their plan design).  :-)  Oh, and this one but it's kind of boring.

  • Moo it's not all that interesting. I just thought it would be a great way to make a whole lot of cash and get people to give me awesome shoes. I have small feet and like high heels. On a halfway serious note a girlfriend and I looked into starting one several years ago. In the research phase we discovered all the foot fetish models showed their faces, not just legs and feet. We are both lawyers, so sadly our dreams of lazy easy money and hot shoes ended.

  • I would have sold tents out of the back of a Winnebago.  My tents would be called Bago Tents.  I would have had contests where you could "Win a Bago".
