Thursday Thirteen: 13 Jobs I want to try

- Greeting card writer - it would be cool to sit around the whole day and think of witty comments and remarks to put in greeting cards.
- Kindergarten teacher - recently volunteered through junior Achievement and it was so cool teaching little kids and it would be a great job to have
- Travel around the world - I know this is not a real job, but wouldn’t it be awesome if that were your job? If you got paid to just travel to new places all the time?
- Postal worker - just to see what makes postal workers “go postal…”
- Sorting mail in a post office - ever since I saw Men in Black 2 I’ve wanted to see how it actually works, if there is an alien sitting in the machine sorting the mail
- Astronaut - I want to go into space. I’ve wanted to be an astronaut since middle school when we had to a report on what we wanted to be when we grew up
- Sniper - I know it sounds really weird that I’d want to be a sniper, but if you have ever seen the movie “Clear and Present Danger,” you’ll know why. In one scene, the sniper makes it within like 5 yards of the commanders while the people searching for him are looking a good 15 yards behind his position. That, and “Enemy at the Gates” was another great sniper movie
- Singer - I’m a terrible singer, but it would be a cool job to have to go around singing all the time
- CIA Agent - throughout middle and high school I was reading Tom Clancy novels about Jack Ryan, and since then I’ve wanted to work for the CIA or the NSA.
- Writer for television shows - there are so many good tv shows out there and it would an amazing opportunity to contribute to them, but beyond just that, writing new shows and improving current shows that aren’t so good would be fun
- Photography teacher - I love photography, and my teacher this past semester was so laid back and chill. It seems like a great combination of imparting knowledge and having fun
- A doctor - saving people’s lives… very cool… only problem is I don’t like blood… that might be a slight problem…
- Time Traveler - again, not a real job, but I would love to travel in time, see the future, go into the past and watch various events taking place
