Skinner was telling the truth.

Pretty much every profession. This is why it’s sad that women are being duped into having no kids and chasing careers looking for fulfillment. They will never find fulfillment in the corporate world

Gigilo. Screwing some strange can be detrimental to your health nowadays.

Architect

I’ve never worked as an architect, mind you, but I’ve dealt with enough to realize it ain’t exactly what I thought it might be as a kid.

While I'd still like to eventually and hopefully will step foot on the Moon: astronaut. Sorry, too much of a hedonist, drunkard, and probably not mentally stable enough (nor are 95% of people) for a 6-8 month one way journey to Mars, not to mention I'm bad at math. Wouldn't do well for me I'm afraid.

I was 7 or so when Smokey and the Bandit came out. A Sheriff, Truck driver and fast driving, poon diving sumbitch were all 3 kick arse. Only one is today for certain.

Not sure if it sucks but some trash gal every year when school started up would say she wanted to be a marine biologist because they went to Seaworld over the summer. I've yet to ever meet one.

Anyone else experience this?

I thought engineer meant train driver, which sounded really cool of course.

I have politicians on both sides of my family. Growing up I though that it would be interesting to influence law.

Thank God I went into sales!

I was told that getting a college degree would get me a fulfilling job that would pay well and working a trade would get me nowhere in life. Wasted 6 years of my life in college getting a business degree I don't use, had a job out of college I hated. Now I work a trade and make money and am happy with my job. Not everyone is cut out for the office and we should stop lying to kids about this.
