People ask me if I’ve always wanted to be a writer.
Nope. That has been a recent development.
So then I started thinking of all the jobs I didn’t want to have. Those are more interesting than what I did want to be. That’s actually a pretty short list: Wonder Woman, Actress, English teacher (that last one is really all three combined 
)
So here is it is:
What I DIDN’T Want to Be When I Grew Up
- A cook
- A baker
- A food service professional of any kind
- An olympic ice skater
- A rodeo clown
- A soybean farmer
- A preschool teacher
- The person who scrapes dead animals off the highways
- Anything that would require me to sit behind a desk all day
- A carpenter
- An architect
- A corporate lawyer
- A meteorologist
- A proctologist
- A urologist
- A lepidopterologist
- A firewoman
- A hair dresser
- An urban planner
- An accountant
- A DJ
- A wedding planner
- A party planner
- Pretty much anything that has “planner” in the title
- A professional wrestler
- A mortician
- And finally (I found this online, so it must be true) “A Flatulence smell-reduction underwear maker” (for those with especially bad tummy trouble)
So these are some things I didn’t want to be when I grew up. What about you?
