A street-fighter. Or a knight of the round table. Or a court jester. Or a gynecologist. Or an astronaut. Or a racing driver. Or a pro arm wrestler. Or an archeologist. Or a trapper in Canada. Or a novelist. Or a mechanic. Or an electrician. Or a baker. Or a bull fighter. Or a nurse. Or a violinist. Or a sheep shearer. Or a candlestick maker. Or a book binder. Or a kindergarten teacher. Or a prison warder. Or a soldier. Or an explorer. Or a biologist. Or a historian.
I have done at least one of the above.

That's a really nice set of options you got there ! 
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Being American there is a good chance you have been a soldier, or a prison warden I would venture...

Why not be an actor? Then you could be any one of these whenever you wanted.

Hmm. I did try for that when I was young but missed out on a great part and went in a different direction.

I would be the equivalent of a Dune "mentat," using thought alone to create and shape realities. The fact I was physically confined in a mental institution would not bother me, since I could manufacture transcorporeal freedom any time I wanted to.
I would be blogging about this (of course) by implanting memories in the subconscious minds of millions of people.

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful story line that you will transform into a multi-billion dollar enterprise. It goes without saying - books, speaking event, and movies, oh yes the movies.

I am a farmer, but I could not farm the way I do without computers. Those machines are best help a guy can get.

Cramps in the feet and legs symbolize falling victim to an evil attack and being unable to stand, and they symbolize being taken out of the battle in Spiritual Warfare. The person with the cramp cannot stand on the battlefield. A person in the Divine Dynasphere can stand against the devil. Limbs that have cramps are weak and need to be strengthened, corresponding to recovery from reversionism

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I would be a... lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia!
The giant redwood, the larch, the fir, the mighty scots pine!
The smell of fresh-cut timber! The crash of mighty trees!
With my best girlie by my side...
(I would probably have gone into electrical engineering)

Cabinet maker, I love working with wood. In my younger more foolish days I was a house painter and also made lots of furniture before I discovered computers.

Since I started working before computers were personal. I would be in engineering. Yes, you can do engineering without computers, it just takes longer.

I've often wondered that. The list I came up with is psychologist, philosopher, theologian, or monk, depending on how far back in time you want to go. Possibly architect.
Then again, I'd probably be dead, having either died pathetically as a conscripted foot soldier in a war or from disease, or at best been a farmer. I seriously doubt I would have risen through any military ranks, but politician might have been possible, though in that case I would have lost my marbles drinking from lead-laced aqueducts if in Rome.

I'd be the inventor of the first computer.

I would still be a chemist. It was a lot of fun, but I don't miss it.
