Heh!

Grima Wormtongue would be a 'special adviser' to the Government, like Peter Mandelson. Aragorn could be an eco-warrior, like Swampy, but a whole lot less dopey. When he got older he'd give up the eco-warrior thing and take up his father's company directorship, but he would instill a sense of 'corporate responsibility'. Then he'd marry a posh girl! Samwise would be a presenter on Gardener's World. Or Animal Hospital. Elrond would be a Headmaster. Saruman might be a TV hypnotist. And Sauron would be a boss I used to have.

Or one of those annoying people on the other side of the "Psychic Hotline."

Gandalf would be a very famous magician. He'd do birthdays, anniversarys, or any other special event. Of course, he would insist on smoking.

Yeah, the Aragorn-as-a-Forest-Ranger thing makes a lot of sense. really.

how 'bout Boromir as a fencing(sp?) instructor? or any of the Rohirrim as horse-back riding instructors.

What about orcs? I think they should have the title of "terrorists" personally. And maybe, just maybe, the Nazgul could try their hand at being flying instructors.

Well of course Sam is obvious, as I think someone mentioned already he will be a garderner.

Pippin could be a comedian or maybe not...

Galadriel could maybe be a princess or queen of some small country who still has a monarchy

Erm well if Elrond had been my history teacher I would have done better in my A-Level all those years ago... I would have been like that girl in Indiana Jones' class who has "I love you" written in kohl pencil on her eyelids, hanging on every word... lol

Aragorn would have led outward bound/survival courses .... or been an assessor for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme...
