...Vicki - Those jobs sound like a lot of work. :-)<br /><br />Beth - I'd love to be a librarian, too, surrounded by books and words and stories. Although, as things change in the publishing world, they're going to change in the library world, too. It will be interesting to see what a library looks like in 10 years.<br /><br />Deb - We don't have many forests or lighthouses in south Texas, so I didn't even consider those jobs. They do sound dreamy.Robin Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373722202559066388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-17367510540701142832011-08-23T11:31:20.783-04:002011-08-23T11:31:20.783-04:00I'd be a forest ranger or a lighthouse keeper ...I'd be a forest ranger or a lighthouse keeper in a lovely, quiet spot where I could sit and contemplate and rarely have to talk to people.

Most of today's jobs didn't exist back then, but the ones I matched best at the time were dietician, librarian, and mathematician, so I'm sticking with that assessment. I am very healthy-food-conscious, since I'm always watching my weight, so that's probably my first choice of an alternate career. Lately, I've said I'd love to have enough money to be a philanthropist. Giving away money to those who need it would be such a morale booster.Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-13678284219493445152011-08-23T08:46:23.870-04:002011-08-23T08:46:23.870-04:00I would be a globe-trotting journalist or a motiva...I would be a globe-trotting journalist or a motivational speaker.
