jobs

In the spirit of the Secret Society of List Addicts, I’ll share with you some jobs I’ve considered over the course of my life.

  • Veterinarian – first job I said when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up… until we had to take the sick beagle to the vet and I saw how they took temperatures. I was done.
  • Animal cop – maybe I’ve been watching too much Animal Planet but I think I would actually do better as a vigilante because the red tape of the job ticks me off.

Watch – The Sick Kitten

  • Astrophysics – I adore math and thought I had the potential to be one of those math geniuses… until I had the worst physics teacher known to man in high school and was ruined on the physics side. The fact that almost everything in life can be explained with an elegant equation is something I can really sink my teeth into. My bf thinks I’m a freak.  Let’s do this.

  • Statistician – my psych major exposed me to data collection, manipulation, and analysis with delicious SPSS software, which pretty much taught me to never trust any stats you hear on the news. In all seriousness though, it’s a tangible and pretty reliable way to learn about the world.

CHECK! THIS! OUT! and THIS. (I promise, it’s worth your time.)

  • Florist – super green thumb here, think I have a good aesthetic eye… currently working on bonsai, would love to learn Ikebana. Who wouldn’t love to play with flowers all day?

  • Fleeting thoughts – architectural artist, cupcake baker (but Richmond already has a few), line cook (been there, done that for every station, miss it), blogger (yeah right), RN (horrible decision, bad school choice, dropped out), any type of psych research (will be trying to get my foot in the door eventually)…

Ha, love this post! I can relate to that animal cop thing–I was addicted to that show awhile back!

Wow so many mathematics-related job aspirations/considerations!

Here are some of mine (at the moment in my last year of high school and have never had a formal paid job)
- Teacher
- Art critic
- Journalist
Those are my main 3 which I could probably do all at once!

- ‘Fleeting thoughts’: astronaut, astronomer, doctor/surgeon, forensic scientist, pilot, barista/cafe owner/restauranteur, interpreter, architect, designer of some sort, etc

Hehehe :)
