    After being invested in Apple, Forrest is financially secure for life. He gets a new job, which he does for free. What is it?

    • Football coach

    • Lawn mower

    • Doctor

    • Lawyer

    Correct Answer
    A. Lawn mower
    Explanation
    Forrest is financially secure for life after being invested in Apple, indicating that he has a significant amount of wealth. Therefore, it is unlikely that he would choose to work for free as a doctor or lawyer, as these professions typically require years of education and training and are well-compensated. Additionally, being a football coach would still require some level of compensation. However, working as a lawn mower does not require extensive qualifications and is often a job that people do for free as a hobby or to maintain their own property. Therefore, it is plausible that Forrest would choose to work as a lawn mower for free.
