Career Ideas for Novel
Ok I am having trouble with my characters father and assigning him a career.
He has to be wealthy enough to own an inner city home as well as a beach house (although the beach house is inherited from his parents). The career has to be one where he mixes with upper class crowds. But I don't want it to be a cliche career as I still want the family to seem somewhat grounded and normal.
Does that make any sense?? Please help!

Banker (of the merchant variety not high street)
Plastic surgeon
Golf player
Car dealership owner

I like the idea of Merchant Banker and Plastic Surgeon - will try these out now to see if they fit.
Anymore ideas?

I know a guy in Melbourne, who bought an inner city place in an area that was rough at the time, reno'd it and traded up. He's a boilermaker, and he's got a multi-million dollar property portfolio through dumb luck.
I reckon go with tradie who bought the place while he was a young apprentice, then went on to have a successful business. There's a lot of them around...

real estate agent?- oops, i am a bit late!! :)
-
Doh I was going to say a barrister
only cos I know the guys that DH works for (architects) aren't wealthy like that!! lol
-
What if he was the CEO/Director of a big-city architectural firm. Would he have money then?
-
Dunno - never known one.. LOL
-
What about High Rise Property manager, or a vineyard owner (who has multiple vineyards internationally...)
-
Or someone in property development? ONe of the richest guys on the sunny coast is a property developer
-
If he's an architect he will have to cry poor all the time even though he has a lot of money LOL! I know most architects don't make much but once a client of mine was a partner in a big inner city archi firm (lots of moula) and he was always saying how poorly he was paid. And he has to wear thick rimmed glasses!

I was going to suggest Barrister as well, or in Real Estate.
I am sure if he were a CEO of a big firm he'd make a fair bit. Tax benefits and all ;)
