Knowing me, I would probably join some sort of Military Organization like SeeD or Guardian Corps (Not the name...The name is lame). Something like that. I would be a soldier. Probably wielding some sort of Gunblade as well. Probably something closer to Lightning's blade than Squalls. His is actually pretty heavy.

Eventually I would work hard enough to either a, work on the Ragnarok or other airship, or b, own one of my own. I'd fly it all over the world. THAT would be the life.
