At a party the other night, we were wondering does anyone ever grow up wanting to be a plumber or does it just happen? (The party was actually very fun...) So then we started thinking of other jobs that surely nobody ever dreams of being.
Did anyone ever say "when I grow up I want to be a manager at Wal-Mart!"?

Posted: 10/11/05 at 1:43pmI think I can safely say no one grows-up wanting to be a manager at Wal-Mart.....

And insurance salesman, or some other mind numbing, paper pushing job.
I'd shoot myself.

I don't think any kid thinks "I want to work in a cubicle when I grow up!"
I did have a friend that wanted to be a (oh drat, what is it that they call garbage men nowadays...) waste management specialist.
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

Posted: 10/11/05 at 2:02pmI wanted to be a car wash man when I was 6 or 7. No joke.

Posted: 10/11/05 at 2:13pmDo people really grow up wanting to be the people who maintain/haul port-a-pottys? I always wondered about that.

Many, many people end up doing jobs they don't want to do. That's life, and it's hard.

Posted: 10/11/05 at 2:28pmIf you're at one of the ones that is "low pay" and where you have to be a waiter to make ends meet, you're probably not dealing with crazy fans.

Beat me to it, Michelleruth2. I think that most of the jobs that kids don't aspire to are ones that don't get a lot of attention- middle-management kinds of positions that no one really thinks about unless they have a specific interest in them.
A job I wouldn't want to take on permanently is slush-pile reader at a publishing house. It might be interesting for a while, but how depressing would it be to (probably rightfully) reject 99% of what you read?

Posted: 10/11/05 at 2:34pmI had a temp job for A WEEK in which I did nothing but rearrange papers--I cannot fathom why or how anyone could that for any longer than I did...

I dated a jizz-cleaning boy for a while. Actually, he wasn't a jizz boy when we first started dating; he was working at a movie theater. He took that job later on.
Needless to say, it wasn't his ultimate goal in life.

Posted: 10/11/05 at 2:44pmI don't think anyone wants to work in a dead-end job. Everyone at least likes the illusion that they could aspire to better themselves and do something more in life, but just being stuck in the same place until retirement is just depressing.
