Money, easily.

I'm already a musician and author. The $25 million would allow me to continue my passions and have a wicked Marketing budget!
This. Talent can remain unrecognized, but money will always be visible.

Money. None of those guarantees money even with the skills. Besides a mechanic, it's all luck to get noticed. And you can make good money as a mechanic, but not 25mil good.

Same answer as the last time you did this same question. The money. Id immediately retire and move to my dream spot. I just want to spend all my time enjoying nature/the scenery and hanging out at my home reading, listening to music, gaming, watching tv/movies and just keeping to myself. I dont want to work. Having those other skills mastered Id still have to work to make a living. I dont want to do that.

Trades. With unlimited knowledge of writing and even 2 of those skills I can write some best seller books/e-books and earn more than 25 million in 10 years.

Even if I had infinite whatever of the other shit, I still have to do something with it. Marketing your skills can make or break people.

As a musician with unlimited skill, you could just live stream yourself performing at the highest level for a couple hours a day and build a big following pretty fast. You would be appreciated live, unlike the people here who said you won't get noticed until after your death. After a couple weeks you could get offers from guitar/piano/etc. manufactures to sponsor them. Then you could get more offers to record an album. Eventually you could start a band and go on tour. "Yeah but there's a lot of talented musicians who don't get famous" Yeah but they are humans, and if you have unlimited knowledge and skill, you'd be performing above human comprehension at god-tier levels, which could result in Michael Jackson levels of fan adoration with people fainting and ****. You'd make more than $25 million and have fun doing it. Also with unlimited songwriting knowledge, you can just write music for other artists and make money on the credits and royalties alone.

My "if I was rich" dream would be to go into semi-retirement and take classes and learn those kinds of things. I'd much rather take piano classes than already be good at it.

I take the money, because just having the knowledge given to you kinda cheapens the gift.

I rather take the money and use my new found freedom to go on the pursuit of knowledge in whatever field I'm inspired to

I really truly do not care to be famous

I'd rather just take the 25 mil, invest the majority of it and live off stupid amounts of interest and dividends for the rest of my life rather than ever having to do any work again

Money. With all that cash I could take the time to learn any of that whenever I wanted.

Can't say I really care about those skills anyway. I suppose the cooking and maybe the mechanics would be kind of interesting, though.

Trades, easily.

"But what if no one appreciates you?"

I'd appreciate me for having these skills, that's all that matters.

Musician for the sake of it.

Artist and writer so I can vividly tell any story.

Mechanic to save money on any car.

And let's be real, culinary arts? You can absolutely attract someone with cooking skills alone.

I'd get more satisfaction taking the 25 million and fucking off the next day, travelling the world for years, than any of that. To each his own I guess.

People are vastly underestimating how much cash having unlimited knowledge and skill in mechanics would bring you. Hell even just the knowledge.

Yeah art/writing are the obvious quick tickets, but pending on what you're qualifying as mechanics that is worth so much more than 25mil.

If it's just car stuff then whatever. There's also Aircraft, HVAC, industrial machinery, and more though.

You know the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment? It's a child psychology thing where they put a marshmallow in front of a kid and tell them "if you don't eat this marshmallow in the next fifteen minutes we'll give you two marshmallows" and then leave the room.

It's a measurement of mental maturity, the ability to delay gratification (or even understand the concept of "hold out now for bigger rewards later").

It works a lot better on wealthy kids than on kids from food-insecure homes for a fairly self-evident reason: the latter are goddamn hungry, while the former have already figured out that they'll get more treats later regardless.

So sure, someone could make more money later, but survival would argue that they get there as fast as possible.

Money

The only option I'm interested is mechanic. I eat my own cooking, I don't care about music and art is whatever kinda useless. Writing? My imagination is pretty wild so it won't help me with all the crazy stuff in this noggin of mine. I can invest and do way better stuff than having 4 trades I really don't care about.

Money. Skill is rarely the biggest barrier in achieving success in the arts. There are many incredibly gifted people in those industries that will never accumulate notable fame.

I'd much rather take the sure $25 million.

If I were youngerit would be trades, easily. Now, though, $25 million would let me pay off my house, never have a need to work again, set my kids up for a comfortable future, allow my wife and I look into medical options to help manage her fibromyalgia, and it would let me pursue any hobby I want. Im at a point in my life where all of that is worth vastly more to me in the immediate term than working in any of those trades and possibly making more by retirement age.
