If I weren't in advertising...

Remember when you were 5 and you wanted to be an astronaut? or a ballerina? or a firefighter? Do you ever wonder what your life would be like today if you had actually pursued one of those careers or a different career path? Here are a few of my "dream" careers and where I think I would be now if I had chosen those roads:


10 Career's I've Wanted to Pursue in My Lifetime & Where I'd Be:

1. Chef (age 5, according to my mom) - I'd be broke and living on the streets, lets be honest 87% of my "cooking" involves a microwave.

2. Paleontologist (age 7) - I'd still be in school, probably in a lab studying bones.

3. Actress (age 8) - probably waitressing during the nights and doing small-town theater shows.

4. Novelist (age 10) - reporting at a small paper or magazine and writing award-winning novels on the site. Probably be living at home with my parents.

5. Lawyer (age 15) - still in school somewhere in the midwest & spending most of my days in the library and most of my weekends at the local bar.

6. Fashion Designer (age 16) - probably working at Express or Macys while sending out my resume & portfolio.

7. Interior Designer (age 17) - working at a furniture/interior decorating shop in Columbia and living with Justin.

8. Fashion Magazine Editor (age 18)- living in New York, interning at InStyle.

9. Advertising Creative (age 19) - working at JWT Inside in St. Louis, editing recruitment ads in photoshop and working a second job on the weekends.

10. Event Planner (off and on) - probably working full-time and working at various events on the weekend.
