If Michael Jackson wasn't a musician, what career would have he been?

[Sophia2023]

If Michael Jackson never went into show business, then he would have gone to college to study music education to become a general music and choral teacher to teach children from all levels.

 

[Sophia2023]

Or a social worker where he could have helped people of all ages, especially disadvantaged children.

I always thought Michael could have been a really good author.

I haven't got the imagination to see him as anything other than a performing artist. Or at least, something creative.

Maybe going to art college and then working as a comic artist. Or a book illustrator, maybe, but comic artist would be fabulous, imo.

 

[Sophia2023]

other careers include an artist and an author.

 

[Sophia2023]

He could have gone to the college of liberal arts or fine arts college.

 

[Sophia2023]

He would have also been a choral director, accompanying them on the piano.

If Michael could have lived a 'normal' life (whatever that means, lol) maybe he could have worked in a zoo or a wildlife safari park or something like that. He loved all sorts of animals and seemed to have an amazing affinity with them. That tarantula photo by Greg Gorman? I saw a quote from Greg saying that the tarantula was one of Michael's pets and they shed their - skin? casing? - and that's what they used for the photo. There doesn't seem to be an animal that he didn't love. He seems to be so comfortable with all of them.

I know he had the zoo at Neverland but his career was so full-on I don't know if he got to spend much time with the animals.

So something working with animals. Not a vet. But something.

He would have stopped doing it after a while.
In my opinion,had he been a psychiatrist,he would have started to hate the human race after a short while. He got to see the dark side(is there any bright one at all?) anyway though

maybe, but he wanted helped people and heal the world so much
I think if it didn't a his work it did a part of his life - help people. He was can realize himself in different professions
I would like see him as teacher, It would suit him very well.

So in your logic every mental health worker is bound to become evil and hateful? 🤨

Define evil

 

[Sophia2023]

evil is immoral and wicked

 

[PurpleThriller]

Excellent.
Now may you be more specific and elaborate on what's actually immoral and what's not?

 

[Sophia2023]

Witches and other evil characters are traditionally immoral and good characters are moral.

According to him, anything that would involve creating something, working hard on it, putting it together, sweating over it, then sharing it with people, and having them love it.

This strongly implies making, directing, and producing films (so, again a career in the show business).

He even expressed that desire (about films) on certain interviews.
