Help Me Find a New Career
 

Although of course joke submissions are welcome, I'm slightly serious here.

If I were to be in a position to completely change careers, and do anything I want, what might you suggest I do? Given everything you know, or think you know, about me, what can you see me happily employed doing?

My mind wanders down the path of Park Ranger from time to time (see what I did there?) but is it feasible?

I really might make a move in the future. Help me figure out what to be when I grow up!

NEW career, spexx, not the same old career. ;)

Well, contemplating a completely new career, a change in direction, is exhilarating. You can reflect on what values drive you, what goals those values might engender, and then what interests/directions you could go to fulfill some of those goals and be true to those values. You mention Park Ranger as something that floats across your mind ... do you value the environment? Preservation of wilderness? An outdoor life? Ecology? Animal welfare?

If I'm way off the mark, you do know what's 'on the mark'. I'm sorry I don't know you well and can't be very accurate in what I suggest, but it's an energizing thing to contemplate (bit of an oxymoron: energizing contemplation :p:).

So ... what core values would you want to live out in a new career?

Librarian - You could still help the college yout's, but you'd be exposed to more of the ones who are trying to learn, rather than the ones scrounging for money. On the other hand, I can see you perhaps being a little too raucous and off-color for your presumably stodgy coworkers.

Speaking for many of us dwellars, I'm sure there are quite a few of us who'd be more than delighted to offer you a new position. The question is, how would you be able to choose? I'm guessing the lesser of many evils.

Seriously, despite your lotsa posting, we really don't know too much about you.

Would you like to be a Forest Ranger? a Long Shorewoman? I bet you might like to own a diner. Or be a movie theater usherette. Continuity checker for feature films.

Or...

Catering. You could be a party planner and caterer

caterwauling. You could be in charge of wauling all the caterers.

I think you're emminently suited to hand out parenting advice.

Writer of satire. You'd be great!

The world always needs folks who specialize in scrotums.

I mean, you can go many different directions with that kind of knowledge.

H.mmmmm....I do like the librarian idea but in Ohio they have really gutted the funding and librarians are now exposed to all sorts of incredibly rude and demanding and obnoxious behavior PLUS sometimes the students have sex in the stacks...so there's that.

I think I know a little about infini...she likes smart, dedicated people, people who want to manage the work and not the people. How about research assist? Or assist with a book? Would you like to work alone or with others but with major caveats such as the Others must be Decent and Well Educated and Not Fuck Around with Others' Lives?

I once thought working at the museum would be cool until I met a woman who worked there and she said all the same old bullshit goes on there, too.

How about erotic phone solicitor?

Infi, you should write for SNL.

Panel beater endorser.

IM, you work at a college. Walk down the hall and take some interest and personality tests.

A single byte of data is not a full meal, but many years ago that's what I did. It's how I got into programming.
