Well, as of right now I'm a junior in high school who works as a customer service girl at a grocery store in her spare time, so I can only go up from here (knock on wood).

Realistically, I'm probably going to go into law. I'm planning on a double major in English and Creative Writing (hopefully at Emory) and I'll be on the Pre-Law track as well while I'm there.

Now for the interesting part...my dream job. I really have two fantasies although the first is not so much a job as it is my idea of the perfect life: own a beautiful house on the beach, live as a complete hermit and do nothing but write my entire life.

misanthrope or creative soul...it's your call

The second is the ridiculous idea of being an actress but really, what girl doesn't dream of the glitz and glamor of Hollywood?

I currently do intern-type work for an independent garage/punk label here in Pittsburgh. I shrinkwrap records, CDs, put flyers up for shows, and do a bit of networking here and there, and I do whatever else people need me to do or can't be arsed to do. I've been helping out there for a few years now, and I do like it, but it's really boring after a while. It's very repetitive doing the same task over and over for eight hours, and the fumes from the shrink-wrap machine get me really high. But I only do it a few days a week, and the pay is good, so I can't complain.

I really want to work in music, but not as a musician. Unless you make it big, it doesn't pay the bills, and performing is something I love, and the thought of that as a "job" freaks me out. I'd love to be a music journalist, a photographer, a fashion designer, a cosmetologist, a promoter, or an A&R rep. Something like that. I did consider becoming a psychologist, a lawyer, or a social worker, but I just don't have the right personality.

If I move to a bigger city, like NYC, I want to get into pinup modeling, and gogo dancing, more as a hobby than a job, but you can get paid for that kind of stuff. And it's loads of fun. Someday, I want to start my own record label, run my own venue, and open up a record store. Probably won't happen, but I want to do at least one of those things.

You're pretty much the coolest Pittsburgh girl I know, have I told you that?

I'm doing it now. I just finished putting a filling in a guy's front tooth-one that an hour ago it was black along the gumline. I gave him a mirror and he started crying. I started crying. That's what it's all about that, and a little volunteer work at the animal shelter and my life is complete

I'm not real keen on my current job, even though I just got promoted and got a nice little pay increase along with it. But it's not at all what I want to do. I was a graphic design major in college but I didn't finish. I'd like to go back and give that another shot, and hopefully find something where I could work from home, at least part of the time. I have no idea in what capacity I'd want to do graphic design, however. I'm hoping I'll figure that out.

Ultimately, I'd just like to paint and draw all day, or maybe do freelance work when I felt like it. I need to start ratholing (I love that word) money, like now, though. Which I already am, I just need to rathole *more*.
