Professions you'd want to try

[ontheroadtohope]

- 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.

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

I love this list! Although he forgot Tinker. Dream a dream and make it big--and here I thought corndogman was so staid.

I am disappointed that I project such a poor first impression

Experimental Musician (N music is better than S music)
Crematorium Technician (talk about a conversation piece)
Quantum Physicist (normal reality breaks down at this level and the possibilities seem endless)

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.

If I had a license to kill and didn't have to worry about jail time...

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.

 

[Whiskers]

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).
