Here’s a question for you, stolen directly from 11D: what dream jobs have you considered but never actually pursued? And second questions: what jobs have people said you should have, but you never did?
My dream jobs: Interior decorator, ballerina, tap dancer, singer-songwriter, rock star, journalist, novelist, pastry chef, tenured professor
Suggested jobs: acupuncturist, once, when I was waiting tables and had a two-top that included an acupuncturist. She said I was very good at recognizing people’s energies and responding at the appropriate level/variety of energy myself. Also, my aunt used to tell me I should be a romance novelist, because she thought it would be an easy way to make a living as a writer.
How about you?
Dream job: Detective (all those Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden books), actress (I did this for awhile but I was a kid), professor, politician.
Suggested jobs: massage therapist (I have a talent), lawyer (arguing).

I loved Nancy Drew books too! But they made me want to be a writer, not a detective.
