Magician? Do I have to wear a tux? Because that’s a deal-breaker for me. Oddly, many of the items after 15 seemed a lot more appealing than things like “market research analyst.”

Like , I can’t believe that Ruler of the World isn’t on there.

    Okay now I’m curious … is there actually a paid position somewhere for a “Public Policy Analyst”? Oh yeah … Comedian. I get it now. ::grins::

    I get magician at #6, above musician, which is absurd. Also upholsterer, cabinetmaker, signmaker and picture framer in my top 20. I guess that’s the “like to make things with my hands” bit coming through.

    2. Electrical Engineering Tech
    3. Avionics Tech
    4. Geologist
    5. Race Car Mechanic
    6. Biomedical Engineer

    8. Heating, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration Tech
    9. Motorcycle Mechanic
    10. Aircraft Mechanic

    I listed 16 coz I really wouldn’t mind # 16 or # 3 😉 I laugh at #14. WTF. Please to note I do not have my current job in here. Or anything to do with arts & crafts. Or massage therapy. Or firefighting. I’d like to do those things when I grow up. Apparently I’m just all kinds of wrong.
