What I Want to Be When I Grow Up

My sweet blogging friend, Annie, tagged me for this meme last week.

If you had the opportunity to do a 1-year internship in a company or field completely unrelated to your current career or specialty,

what would be your top 5 choices?

#1. Book or Magazine Editor

I was one of the few people who liked diagramming sentences in 7th grade English, and I have a minor in English because I took so many literature and writing classes in college just for fun. There is little like the written word to move people. I'd love to be a part of that.

#2. Cosmetics Marketer

For lack of an official term, I'd love to be that person who names things like lipstick, nail polish and the newest eyeshadow. How cool would it be to sit in a room all day and say things like, "Cherry Pie?". No. "Watermelon Ice?" No. "Red Corvette?" Perfect.

#3. Fashion Designer for a Movie

I love all things behind-the-scenes, and I've always been fascinated with the ins and outs of fashion design, especially for a large project like a TV series or movie.

#4. Forensic Psychiatrist

Don't hold it against me, but I'm fascinated with characters like Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs). Anything that even borders on a psychological thriller has my vote, even if it means fava beans with a nice Chianti.

#5. Cowgirl

Quite honestly, I'm not sure what it entails, but I like the wardrobe. Give me a pair of 501s, a hat, some boots and turn me loose on the ranch and let me see what it's all about.
