Professions you'd want to try

- Photojournalist: the ability to travel and document the rest of the world (in order to share it with people who otherwise would be left in the dark) would be amazing.
- Virologist: I love diseases and viruses are my favorite type of disease--studying them would be mind-blowing (except for the part about going to medical school first).
- Professional musician (symphony orchestra style): being the instrument through which other people can experience that same emotional enjoyment of music that I do would be incredibly fulfilling.
- Profound novelist: leaving a mark, entertaining, and forcing the reader to think more deeply about certain things--sounds great.
- Spy: just because I have always wanted to be one. :p
 
Given the declining state of the economy/science/education/environment/foreign policy, etc, I'm occasionally feeling like I may ~have~ to run for office in an effort to staunch the wounds. Given the corrupt nature of elections/mass-media, odds are slim, though

For a second there I thought that it said cosmetologist...I was almost impressed you were in touch with your feminine side!

I'm definitely in touch with it, I just don't want to make a career out of it. : )
 
I almost started a new thread. Almost.

I've been reevaluating.

Game designer - This'll happen within the next five years. It's happening now.
Fiction writer - In line with the previous. More independent (ideally) and thus more attractive.
Paleontologist - Investigating species and events for which there are no written records. Just my game. Focus on the North and South American paleolithic.
Anthropologist - Similar, more social. Focus on the nineteenth century.
Contract killer - End of the line.
Local fruit and vegetable vendor - Something mellow, for later.

Edit: Private investigator - If I can improve my objectivity.

Hahaha, I had the same thought.

More realistically though, I think I'd want to be a clinical psychologist or therapist...if only the money were better and didn't require a Ph.D to do anything significant in the field.
 
My main career path of interest would be in the field of psychology. I'm working in forensic psychology right now, but ultimately I'd like to pursue a career in either clinical or counseling. In short, it's compatible with my natural strengths.

An alternate career path that I've contemplated was as a personal trainer. I think my my academic potential (and related financial prospects) steers me towards more cerebral pursuits, but as someone with an interest/investment in fitness, I would be intrigued to incorporate that into an employment setting. Less educational requirements and stress too!
 
Personal trainers intrigue me. I believe it's their influence on the physical development of another person. A control thing.

Their knowledge of the human body's capabilities is a plus (assuming they're accredited).
