when i grow up...
no this isn't a rumination on my fear of aging. i'm just thinking about what i would like to do for a living in some bizarro-world scenario.
here are my top choices. post your own and explain why.
1. firefighter. you get to break peoples' doors down with an axe, slide down a pole instead of taking the stairs and generally be a hero everywhere you go (thanks osama). perks include: taking your dog to work and driving just the back end of the ladder truck.
2. train engineer. trains just kick ass. ever seen footage of one in a head-on collision with some redneck's pickup truck that stalled out on the tracks? need i say more? heavy metal, baby. heavy metal. perks include: not having to steer and free travel miles -- lots and lots and lots of them.
3. pharmacist. you're like a doctor, but without all the medical school loans and "ethics panels" to please. everyone loves to make conversation with pharmacists. you're the life of the party when you know exactly how to make the right combination of muscle relaxant, horse tranquilizer and anti-depressant. perks: cure your ailments with homemade recipes. better living through chemistry, huh.
and if you still can't find your dream job, there are still openings in cowboy school. giddyup.
