1. Musician
2. Artist
3. Culinary Arts
4. Mechanic
5. Writer

TBH I would take the trades. I could make culinary Arts my main work. And do the other ones on the side for fun. Plus knowing and having the skill to do music/being an artist will get in better with the ladies.

Hmm, I think theres an argument to be made that it would be more satisfying to gain mastery of those skills in your own merit, rather than just being given it. And money is nice, and would actually allow you time to master or gain those skills.

If you're a masterful writer and musician you'd make far more than just $25 million.

It depends. There are tons of good writers and musicians who can't break into those industries. You'd have to actually get in and then...work...to make that money.

Fuck that.

Hmm, instant and significant wealth vs the opportunity to earn a load of wealth?

Id go for the first option easily in this one. $25 million is more than enough for me to never need to work again, make a positive difference to the world and leave generational wealth for my offspring.

The skills option would require more work and always comes with the risk that you wouldnt be appreciated until after youre dead.

I'm probably taking the trades. Making world class meals every night for dinner just for myself honestly may make the tradeoff alone as a nice meal is easily one of my favorite things on Earth.

Trades by far.

Then I could make a fantasy novel a reality without it being shit, AND do some artwork too!

And with unlimited skill I'm sure I will end up doing enough money with it too.

With literally unlimited knowledge I could probably make more than $25 million in a few years on just writing. All I'd need to do is get a couple books adapted into movies.

Well, youd need to get some of those books published and successful first, which requires luck even if youre supremely talented.

You'd have to get a publisher or even an agent to read your work first then agree to publish it.

It's really not easy if you're not established and don't have connections. No doubt there are thousands of books out there worthy of being movies that will never get read.

It's not about luck it's about connections and marketing. Having a good book helps a lot though. Generally speaking you end up having to pay out of pocket to get published. If your book is a success, then you'll get publishing contracts where you get paid first and then deliver a book.

I have 9 published works. I know how it works mate.

Yes, like most things, if youve got connections you stand a better chance. But most people dont have those, so getting off the starting blocks is all about luck. There are much better authors than me out there that who will never be published, and Im not talking about an insignificant number. Its a crapshoot and usually when people tell you differently its because they want to believe that they got to where they are purely based on merit. They didnt. Nobody does.

Trades. Use my unparalleled mechanical knowledge and skill to invent and create several useful inventions. Hire a good lawyer to patent them, good business staff to manage the manufacturing and marketing, and have revenue to live comfortably for life.

Then use that same unlimited knowledge of mechanics to create society-altering inventions. Perfect efficiency motor, superior battery storage, compact wind turbines, whatever unlimited mechanics knowledge would cover, then make those radical technologies available to the world at no cost.

Mobile gamefaqs is really fucking awful. They decide you dont need information and instead put huge checkmarks and boxes over words.

And technically I would have seen the skill part if there had been a proper space after the / - I blame TC.

The knowledge/skill. Maybe I beat 25 mil putting it to use, maybe I don't, but I'm confident I'd be able to get by quite comfortably with those. And just to say what 'unlimited' skill in say cooking translates to would be worth it.

The trades. It gonna take more work, but you'll be at 25 million very quickly with unlimited skill in those trades. Just musician and artist could get you there in like a year. Chef would take longer but you'll get there.

I don't really think living the rest of your life without doing anything constructive would be very fulfilling personally. I'm being given the chance to get 5 lifetimes worth of skills immediately. That's way more valuable than just being rich.
