If i were to choose a job now, i would become a jouralist, an investigative journalist in particular.
请问：此处表示对目前的虚拟，为何用对以后虚拟的be to do?
If i were to choose a job now, i would become a jouralist, an investigative journalist in particular.
这里，now 并不表示“目前的习惯”，更不是“此时此刻”，它仍然表示“以后”（近期的以后）。试想一下：一个发生后立刻结束的一次性动作，能理解为“目前习惯发生”吗，只有以后发生（立刻发生也是以后），所以，虚拟语气用 were to do 就非常自然了。仔细领会下面的例句。
