Totally serious, weather girl. And I’m not dumb by any means.

If money was not an issue. Preschool teacher or early elementary.

I think my 2nd choice career would have been obgyn. I think it would be awesome delivering babies and find pregnancy fascinating and amazing. Obviously very difficult things to handle also

I hope you at least got a green screen for doing zooms during the Covid years.

I’m a nurse. Wow, I’m not at all used to the concept of healthcare administration helping people.

Lol right? That’s like saying the medical insurance execs are doing their jobs based on “helping people”.
- also in the industry

I'm not even in the healthcare industry but in government. I had a former boss when I worked in retail who had eteranl RBF and worked in HR. She would ignore serious complaints such as people in authority having sex with their peers at work but then overworked people in her department until they left. She got her masters in healthcare admin and works for davita. Supposedly they've been under fire for their ethics and for overpaying their managers and underpaying the nurses. I can totally believe sick f.cks like her work in healthcare admin and how they do their least to help people. More like help themselves to the cash.

Stage manager on Broadway - I have read and listened to a bunch of interviews with stage managers and have never come across a job that seems more perfectly suited to me!

Therapist - actually in school for this now, but I wish I'd considered it right after college rather than waiting 25 years

Person who names paint and makeup colors - no idea what qualifications this requires but it seems so fun

It’s never too late. I was working in a boring DC job where I had been for almost a decade when I decided to start applying for any job on LinkedIn that looked interesting and sending people general resumes. Got a call back from a really cool tech company I had been following/using products from for many years in my personal life. Long story short they ended up offering me an unadvertised job making more than double what I was making and working with the company head who I admired deeply (but I had never met).

I wish I were rich and don’t have to work. I want to be a classics student and read Homer in Ancient Greek.

If I knew what I knew now, I would have been a nurse. I am a male, currently a data scientist.

Physician who did a lot of business stuff for my group. Tax things just came naturally to me and the deeper i got into it the more interesting it became. So, tax accountant or tax lawyer. Although, contrary to popular beliefs, being a MD isn't bad at all.
