It occurred to me today, in a pondering sort of way, that I was never possessed, from an early age, of a desire to become a lawyer. Still, here I am, and it’s fun, so I guess I’ll keep doing it. I took that ponder out for a walk, and came up with the following list of cool jobs that I’ve wanted to do, at some point or other in my life. In no order at all:
- carpenter
- knight
- dragon
- firefighter
- police officer
- truck driver
- master art thief
- master jewel thief
- mountain climber
- wilderness guide
- historian
- archaeologist
- archivist
- wizard
- commando
- foreign news correspondent
- journalist
- bowyer
- swordsmith
- photographer
- spy
- intrepid explorer
- diver
- wildlife biologist
- ninja
- space shuttle pilot
- regular airplane pilot
- helicopter pilot
- Jedi Knight
- toy tester
- race car driver
- highrise construction worker
- veterinarian
- musician
- magician
- escape artist
- writer
- librarian
Notice the complete absence of lawyers in there. I still think I’d have made a great dragon.
What did you want to be when you grew up? I asked Katherine that question today. She said, “Bigger.”
