The first week has been overwhelming. In good way. Tons of kids whose names I can't remember, professors who give BU portal instructions I don't understand. Public transportation systems that slightly confuse me, and long walks to class in the rain. But amidst the awkward conversations about names and classes and majors, we are asked what we want to pursue as a career. "When we grow up." I'd like to think I'm already grown up. Hah. That's rich. But this thought intrigued me, so I put together this list of occupations I would like to have 5, 10, 15 years from now, to look back at, in case I find myself in a hiring jam, and need some back-up options. It's funny because several of them are found on the 2011 Worst jobs List... Awkward.
In no particular order:
1. Bridge toll collector. Come on! It's every little girls' dream to collect an obscene amount of money for the government for an obscene amount of time. Every. Single. Day!
2. A Welder. I like the welding masks. They remind me of robots. I would kill to be a legit robot. And talk like a robot. I. Am. ChelseaBot.
3. Taxi Driver. Your life is in my hands. Talk about a power trip opportunity.
4. Lumberjack. Carrie Nation status. Roaming the forests and chopping up wood. So all of my forest critter friends can stay warm during the winter months.
5. Pig Farmer. If nothing else, I'm sure I could acquire a damn good hog impersonation.
6. Garbage Collector. One man's trash is another man's treasure. I just happen to only find trash. And look at shiny bins at the trash center. And maybe even stumble upon Sheriff Woody and friends in the fiery furnace.
7. Roofer. I spend most of my time on roofs anyways. It would be so fun. And I'd get to yell "LOOK OUT BELOW" at least 20 times a day.
8. Construction Worker. If I can build it in Legos, I can build it in real people things.
9. Mail Carrier. I can make peoples' day by bringing them happy surprises, like Birthday cards, and Paychecks, and Inheritance Announcements!!!
10. Clown. This one doesn't need explanation. It's basically just the coolest job ever.
