This is a great question and there are many, many good answers. Just as there are myriad useful skills out there that us humans can (and should) try to master.

My answer: being a world class chef.

Not just a cook but engaging with culinary creative genius as a true chef.

Man that would be incredible. I am of the mind that FOOD is one of the ultimate and most vital arts out there. Making and sharing food represents a rare unifying exemplar for humanity. Something that human beings everywhere have mastered in their own uniquely creative way.

Food and the making of it is the ultimate skill in many ways.

Food is something that I think we have basically perfected, as human beings, and we should be incredibly proud of that fact.

Thus, make me a chef!

For now, I will have to settle for being a half-baked home cook, ever-learning, who specializes in steak, chicken, rice, butter, and cinnamon rolls.
