Hmmmm I think I'd definitely try to become SeeD, living in Balamb garden. It's not totally different to work I've done in real life (except way less badass though), I'd probably be in intelligence rather than pew pewing on the battlefield though xD Then I'd make a large sum of money from my saved up SeeD salary and retire at a young age, I'd live in Esthar for a while or Timber and do some part time writing work, settling down in Winhill when I get old
