Things I could do/study for a living (and actually enjoy.)

Jan 15, 2006 18:14

I would love this, except there's a little something wrong with almost all of them.

- Criticize things. I think they call this reviewer. But then maybe not; I'd feel like an asshole a lot of the time.

- Socio-cultural anthropology.  Particularly, ethnomusicology. The point here is that I will probably be poverty striken.

- Play in a "rocknroll baaaaand."  Except I can't play anything but cello. Which only leaves Apocolyptica.  The point here is that I will probably be laughed at.

- Psychologist. But then I would psychoanalyze all my friends, lovers and family. And would therefore go crazy and not be able to maintain any stable relationships.

- Lawyer. I love debating, and would, modestly, kick yo' fuckin' ass. Except I couldn't deal with the moral issues. Andrea simply could not defend a guilty person.

- Groupie.  The problem here is... well... gr 7 sex ed would cover it, really.

- Politician.  Except, I need people to like me. So that really would not work.

- Diplomat.   But imagine going to sleep everything with the problems of the world on your shoulders?

- Coffee house worker.  I could be a professional conversationlist and change my name to Nico. Or Neko.
(the problem here is being a poverty striken cliché.)

- Poet. See Poor.

- Producer.  You stick it to the man.  I produce it. I am the (wo)Man.

- Writer for www.gofugyourself.com.  But I'm not cool enough for them.

- Fashion designer.  I would dress the world in 70s Kmart plaid. (Yes, I have three of those shirts, each in a different colour. AND DAMNIT I AM NOT ASHAMED.)

- Writer of children's books.      EASY MONEY.  Except I would be ashamed.

- Journalist.   It's great until you want to (get married? and) have kids.

- Writer, in general.  So, in other words... WAITRESS.

- Actor. See above.

- Director. I would be such a bitch. And you would love me for it.
