It's funny that they hit every single job I've ever had which was not crappy retail (the summer I spent working dinner theatre as an actor, the summer I spent writing for the newspaper, writing in general, photography, clergy). I am surprised they think I would apparently be WAY MORE EXCITED to deal with mentally fucked up sports players or stick my hands in people's nasty mouths than write though.
A lot of this was no-brainer stuff though. Of course I'd be interested in a career as an actor or magician! I'd also take a career as a rock star or a supermodel, but hey, I'm not picky.
The stuff about being an illustrator just reminds me how lousy of an artist I am. Sigh.
