    Astronaut. After Actuary that is without doubt the second most glamorous and exciting option!

    A mechanical design engineer

    Working in Formula One or the automotive roadcar industry for BMW M division or Porsche or Ferrari or possibly automotive consultancy such as Ricardo Consulting.

    I think that would be a great job!
