A vet, a nurse or a winegrower.

Between the then and now of my high school graduation, I have had twenty-seven jobs. So I know exactly what I shouldn't do!
I should also be a journalist.

I was laughed at as a child when I said I wanted to be a baker, so I started switching until I got the best response at "Psychiatrist." (I'd have been a wretched psychiatrist.) Baker would have been just fine for me, or pastry chef. Chevre maker. I always wondered at the time why grownups would ask me such a question. I make it a point not to ask little kids that, or how old they are. That question always puzzled me, too. Why did they need to know? If I need a conversation opener I go with something more original.

She will probably go into "re-education" to learn to say "a powerful person with flexible judgment" or something along those lines.

She will probably go into "re-education" to learn to say "a powerful person with flexible judgment" or something along those lines. Tom Friedman likes to call them "reasonably enlightened autocrats." You can read all about it in his latest op-ed piece on "Our One-Party Democracy. I'd also like to own a small jazz bar.

I though Friedman's column was interesting today. Maybe I should become a newspaper columnist: surely a cushy gig.
(though the St.Louis Post-Dispatch has gone from four or five local columnists to only one in the past 10 years, so I'd have to claw my way to the top, something I'm not that well suited for.)

I saw all the dog walkers in NYC and thought what a cool gig until I thought about the poop/scoop part of the job.
