13 careers i either really want or really don't want

1) forensic psychologist - before i got pregnant with parker this is what i wanted to do...get my law degree, interview people accused of heinous crimes and be an expert witness in their trials.

2) the lady that gives you the number at the dmv - after my experience at the dmv this morning (two hours waiting with a three year old hopped up on a donut) i feel for the bitchy lady who gives you your number and tells you to have a seat.

3) kindergarten teacher - i won't lie, miss p's teacher is my hero. the way she controls a room of twenty rambunctious five and six year olds is impressive. aaaaand it sort of makes me want to be her.

4) a writer - but with all the trappings of living in france and writing in coffee shops.

5) anthony bourdain - is that a career? because i want it.

6) a home stager - i don't know why but this intrigues me. interior design, but for fake people. or something.

7) a waitress - this is a job i would fuck up. badly. i have nightmares about being a waitress. god help anyone that i would have to serve. i'm sure i'd be crying before one shift was through.

8) a cave explorer/mine worker - or really anything that involves being in tight spaces. i'm terrified of the idea of squeezing my body into a spot that it barely fits into and not being able to get out. not sure what careers require this but count me out.

9) a personal shopper - spending other people's money and making them look good? yeah, that sounds fun!

10) an forensic anthropologist - i've talked about my favorite college class here before and this would truly be a dream job for me.

11) a trucker - i loathe driving alone when i'm tired. and i'm pretty sure trucking involves that.

12) a university professor - i love academia. does that sound snobbish? maybe it is. i like being around people who enjoy learning. i'd love to teach literature or creative writing at a university like scu.

13) an editor - i'd like to edit novels. sensing a theme?
