Career Ideas for Novel

[Aimz]

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!

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...
