I'm writing a short story and I need your opinion of what the profession of the main character should be. He is 60 years old, he's worked in the same job for at least 30 years. He is very rich. It has to be an office-setting kind of job. When his kids were teens, he got them summer jobs at the office.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Vice President at any manufacturing plant, running same plant (different lines of product) for 30 years and got his kids temporary jobs either in the office or on the floor. Happens all the time. As a matter of fact - plastics manufacturing has been around for that many years. Good luck.

Ok, this is your primary story figure? You say he's 60 and has had the same job, for 30 years? But you haven't chosen his profession, yet. Ok, how about Private Investigation? When his kids were teens, he got them jobs, where he works? And you say, he worked in an office? That changes things. Food Service Manager? Or Park Ranger? When I was a kid, my father was a park ranger. He had an office.

He is a farmer's son. He owned land handed down from his family from generation to generation./several thousand acres... And although he tries to make a living, with all the state/federal taxes, prices, and property taxes, he's spilling money into a dead end pit. Therefore, he has went to urban development, has his degree in business. Economic times have changes and farming is now corporate..... land sells for so much more when it's residential as is California. His kids are his new corporate world, kinda like Paris Hilton......they sell his concept and bring the community into his their Dad's concept, althougth with every family there is a black sheep.

Entrepeneur- investor. Owns about seven branches of a restaurant in their locale and across the city. Being rich, he wants his children to learn early about money so he gave them summer jobs right under his guidance.

Here's a hint. It sounds like you are trying to develop plot first. Don't.
Create your characters first. Once you have a few characters created, ONLY THEN put them together. They will tell you what the plot is. Their conflicts, motivations, desires, obstacles, and goals combined will practically write your story for you!

He could be the owner of a successful electronic retail business and the children get to work in the store during the holidays.

Possibly a CEO of a Large company He would be able to give jobs to his kids and could be rich. Could even own his own company for 30yrs that would make him be able to hire his kids and possibly be rich

he should be a quick witted business man. I mean he's rich and puts his teens in summer jobs. He knows how to work, even though he don't have to.

He should be CEO of a big fictional business. But that seems a bit boring, no offense. Unless it's supposed to be like that...
