A controversial figure recently given her freedom,

Amanda Knox has probably spent the last four years dreaming of the fine things she will do if she ever walks free.

Now that she is able to choose how she spends her days, we’re happy to offer Knox some appealing and alternative career paths, should she become bored of weighing up TV interview offers and partying: 

1. Give something back

It’s likely that Knox will be exceedingly grateful to be home and will want to give something back to the community that has supported her bid for freedom. Even though her educational experience didn’t turn out for the best, she would be well-placed to buy and run this school in Texas, helping students to realise their dreams of becoming medical assistants, nurses or truck drivers.

2. Dream big

Back in Seattle, Knox’s hometown, Caffeine giant Starbucks reigns supreme. However, could Knox’s new-found notoriety help her challenge owner Howard Schultz and boost the fortunes of one of these coffee companies? Of course, this is only a suitable option for someone not trying to avoid the great American public.  

3. I fought the law…

Having learned a thing or two about global legal systems during her incarceration, a career in prosecution and defense might appeal (no pun intended). Knox has already specified an interest in helping those who have also been wrongly convicted, so purchasing this Colorado-based law Practice might be a step in the right direction.

4. Get away from it all

Perhaps Knox will want to escape all of the inevitable media intrusion in America and immigrate to an unexpected location to forge a new life. Many Slovenians speak Italian so Knox could use her excellent language skills to take on any number of opportunities in this European territory; from translating, running a rural hotel or better still, running her own airport.

5. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em

Finally, Amanda Knox might just realise that she cannot avoid the media circus surrounding her so why not join it, enjoy it and make some money from the limelight. To really let loose she should mull over running this belly dancing business in Monterey.

Foxy Knoxy could even play up to her media image and boost sales by modelling the costumes, finger cymbals, veils, and henna.
