Cool Jobs

If you could have any job in the world what would it be?  Regardless of skill set or degree needed, what would you do?  I took the time to think about it recently, and here’s what I came up with:

1.     Makeup Artist: I love makeup; I don’t think that’s a surprise to anyone.  And working with makeup on a daily basis would be so much fun.  I would love the opportunity to work in the fashion industry and create new looks each and every day, and actually have a positive influence how people utilized their own styles.

2.     Film Industry:  I’ve always had this secret desire to work in the film industry as an actress, director, producer, screen writer… something.  I love watching the behind the scenes cuts on DVDs to see what the filming experience is like, and I’m always following actors to see their latest projects.  I get such a thrill at Oscars season.  There’s just something about it I can’t put into words – and it has nothing to do with the fame and fortune.  I just have a genuine interest in it.  I guess it comes from my desire to create something out of nothing.

3.     Writer/Editor:  Another career that comes from my desire to create something out of nothing, writing has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was kid.  Editing is a more recent development, but I could definitely see myself doing it as a career.  Many of my personal inspirations are writers, and I feel as if I am a more ‘creative oriented’ person, as opposed to analytical.  Meaning, I could never do something math/science related.

4.     Photographer:  While I could never be a school picture day photographer, I would love traveling and capturing the moments and images I see.  When I was in London studying abroad, some of my favorite and strongest memories were when I was just walking around the city taking pictures of what I was seeing.  Unfortunately, this isn’t the most practical idea.

5.     Talk Show Host: I would love to be the next Ellen DeGeneres.  I love her style on her talk show, and I think it would be great to meet people and make friends in that way.  You can tell she genuinely enjoys her job, and that makes me want to be like her too.

Happy Reading,
