I just found out that tomorrow in my computer class, we must make a commercial about a career that we are interested in. Now being the stupid attention-wanting(read that with a different w word but I am in the class right now) sixteen-year old that I am, I want some awesome career.
Gimme yo ideas
Be the Bus Guy!!!
Call snow days at your own whim! Tell over-protective moms that their 4th grader most certainly CAN walk 168 feet to a bus stop! Get many exciting and nearly unbelievable stories under your belt about inept bus drivers and their fanciful misadventures!
Well, it’s better than it sounds here anyway.
Sounds wonderful! I don’t know if my teacher would understand why I want to be a bus driver while everyone else is a Doctor/lawyer/Nuclear Physicist.
Pirate, with a skull-and-crossbones flag.
(What do you mean, it’s not a real occupation?!?)
If I could do pirate, I’d do ninja. 
Well, I’m always looking for henchpersons.
OK, here’s one. I expect it’s a real career - saw it on a TV show and thought it was pretty cool. Seems agencies like the FBI and CIA need people to be able to do really good fake documents. It means knowing papers and other materials and inks and history and all sorts of interesting things. You’d need to have a chemistry background for sure.
Or else look around - pretty much everything in your house has been invented/designed by someone. So, for instance, you might want to say you’d like to design computer cases or lamps - or machines that help assemble the payloads for the Shuttle.
I’m currently going to grad school for explosives, and used to have a job doing energetic materials testing. I’d watch up to three, 500lb ANFO car bombs a week, 2,000lb projectiles being propelled via rocket power at close to Mach 1, TOW missle tests, anti-terrorist type tests, you name it. I have a mechanical engineering background, but just about any engineering field will do (specifically chemical and structural).
Ahem. I don’t drive a bus, you gotta be crazy to do that. I’m the Very Important Guy that runs the transportation department. And you wanna be me so you can call the superintedent and say “sorry doc, no school today, that’s my professional opinion”
Become a lawyer. Help people, ensure public order and safety, protect liberty, uphold the Constitution and see that justice is done. I’ve been at it for 15 years and really enjoy it!
Awesome? How about a job in Antartica?
You could be a lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia!
I’m a doctor/lawyer/nuclear physicist, and believe me, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. If I had it to do over again, I’d be an astronaut/cage fighter/soldier of fortune.
Lion Tamer.
Secret Agent.
Billionaire.
Baby photographer.
Hot Air Ballonist.
Art gallery owner.
Film Archivist!
Animator!
(although I’m beginning to suspect it’s all just a myth)
Hitman.
Pros: Good pay, interesting travel, exciting, you’re an independent “contractor” and choose your own hours, you get a lot of respect.
Cons: no health insurance or other benefits.
Come over and drive a train!
Shitloads of money, loooong holidays, excellent working conditions, management who know their place in the grand scheme of things and days where your job is to sit around watching TV.
Plus you get to zoom around tunnels underground and go roaming down other secret bits that your average Joe isn’t allowed.
Rad sponge! Get to do annoying, nitpicky plumbing and wiring jobs with the added hassle of wearing a canary yellow suit, orange gloves, and getting irradiated at the time. Good pay, benefits, and all sorts of fodder for stories at the bar.
And you, too, might end up having to clear a bag of crap as being clean of radioactive contamination.
