IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING...

If you could have any--and I mean ANY--job in the world, what would you do?  I asked my roommate this today, and I had a hard time answering.  I either go the direction of fantastical and unrealistic (like being on Broadway) or utterly boring and predictable.  Sure, I have dreams of doing things, but, as far as a job/career goes, I have no idea what I want to do.  I want to keep my thoughts of options attainable yet aspirational.  That's where I become stumped.  I have a hard time coming up with truly believing I could do something other than what I have done or have experience in.  "You can do anything!" I've always been told.  But, I have a hard time believing that, in this real world, in which one can not survive on "anything." Just thinking.

So...now I ask you, whoever reads this:  If you could have any job in the world, what would you do?

Unfortunately, I'm in your same boat, Brittney! I've toyed with the idea of something to do with specialized personal grocery shopper/food preparer because I like to cook so much...but I'm not sure if I like it enough to make a career of it. I also like the idea of talking with college students about career options and hearing their dreams and such (all over a cup of coffee, of course), but you can't really make a career out of conversation, can you? Ah, adult life! How very complicated you can be.
