Alternate careers?
As I sat in the OR waiting for my shift to end, I tried to picture what my life would look like in 10 years. Would I be a nurse coming home to a husband and kids? Would I be back in school pursuing another career … maybe a 4th or 5th? I was amazed to find that no images came to mind.
After several attempts to pull alternate realities from my mind, I decided that it would be easier if I started by eliminating careers that I will not have in the next 10 years.
Unless a miracle happens, I will never be …
1. a midget wrestler
2. a greyhound racing dog
3. a teenage prostitute
4. a male porn star
5. the Queen of England
6. the president of the NAACP
7. an Indian chief
8. a monk
9. a ninja
10. the Toxic Avenger
As disappointing as all of that may sound, I did conclude that I do not hate my job. That’s right! For the first time in my life, the grass is greener on my side. Maybe a nurse will be the right career for me afterall …
To be continued in 10 years …
