my dream jobs by age:
6-8: veterinarian (i realized i’d have to take care of animals other than puppies)
8-12: archaeologist (i realized I’d wouldn’t get to dig up cleopatra’s tomb and i’d probably be in a lab or office 95% of the time)
13-15: history teacher (i was told i would make no money and that that was a very bad thing)
16-18: psychologist (i realized i was too mentally ill to help other people with their brains)
now: jack of all trades
ages 7-10, Movie Director; saw Star Wars Revenge of the Sith and realized cinema had been completed. Gave up on that dream
Ages 10-14 world historical General, on the level of Napoleon or Genghis Khan; but decided i was too lazy
Ages 14-present: novelist
