The guy that’s in charge of flipping the doughnuts. I want to do that. I’d probably quit after like an hour, but I just want the experience.
Hilary Knight – Hockey
I just love the intersection of sport and tech, and creating something that would be impactful in the sports world.
David Wise – Freestyle Skiing
If I wasn’t an athlete and I had to pick one thing, I’d probably try to be a writer.
Maame Biney – Short Track
I’d love to be a psychologist or something just because I like to get into people’s brains and try to help them through their problems. I feel like that’s a super cool job just helping people.
Emily Sweeney – Luge
My dream job would be to be a singer, but I can’t sing so second backup: I would work in real estate just because I love houses. I love the market. It’s just interesting to me.
Ryan Cochran-Siegle – Alpine Skiing
I would say a maple syrup farmer.
Kendall Coyne Schofield – Hockey
My dream job would be a doctor because I love helping people.
Karen Chen – Figure Skating
A professional dancer on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ As a kid I watched ‘Dancing With the Stars’ all the time, and I thought if I can’t be the star then I want to be the pro dancer and meet all these stars.
Red Gerard – Snowboarding
Maybe working on a yacht. I could do that. I’d be happy working on a yacht – Below Deck style.
Summer Britcher – Luge
Something where I could boss people around I think would be my dream job, and I’m not really sure how you just get to that. There’s not a position you can be hired for like ‘hey, you get to boss people around.'”
Winter Vinecki – Freestyle Skiing
My dream job might be to be an actress.
