I would love to be a stay-at-home partner.
There is so much knowledge I am desperate to acquire about innumerable arcane subjects, I could fill several lifetimes in fascinated research. That doesn't even touch upon the playing of music in its various forms, or drawing, or writing...

Earning a fucking living is the most intolerable intrusion into my life imaginable. I loathe it.

gosh you're literally like the polar opposite to me
i'm a total workaholic, i'm a complete control-freak about my files and my job, and i might whinge about the long hours, but actually it satisfies my academic and professional ambitions really well!

I have no ambitions, and to some degree resent having to work for a living
That said, I do like that I'm doing some Good in my job.
Still, I'd rather be traveling the world.

If someone could bankroll my thirst for learning
I would be the happiest man alive. Work is a tawdry and repulsive irritation to me. It's simply not right for gentleman to have to concern himself with such mundane things as money.

I echo this sentiment.
It is the same for a lady. I would do lots of boss things if work didn't take up my time.

i love learning too
hence the masters which i am doing alongside my job, although most of the class don't work.... 2 years to do a masters in creative writing, now there's a fast-track to the dole office..... and am wondering what to study next. but i couldn't not work, i wouldn't know what to do with myself. i blame my dad, he made me work for him in the bank from being about 15.

Me too, but the fiancé is having none of it.
I'd be a boss kept woman and all.

I said a while back that if I won the lottery, I'd still have a part time job (well, at first)
For the simple reason that being out of work is the single most boring thing that has ever happened to me.

Being out of work WITHOUT money is boring

I had cash at the time, but even then, it was depressing.
