What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?View MessagesViewing posts 1 to 44 of 44 messages posted.
Don't suspect a lot of kids will say any of these “But, hey, a job's a job. Here is a list provided by Careerbuilder.com, after they conducted a survey of 1,900 full time workers. They came up with these off-the-wall occupations: Blueberry Counter Dynamite Packer Gold Miner Nanny For Guard Dog Trapper Of Black Bears X-mas Gift Wrapper Zip Code Finder Obituary Writer Mountain Cave Tour Guide Janitor For Zoo Cages Whisker For Carpet Company (Removes Lint From Samples) Pet Photographer Assistant Magician's Assistant Carnival Ride Operator I'll never critisize a legitimate job. Most of those are indeed unusual. Can you think of any that if you wanted to ask a kid, "what do you want to be when you get older", that chances are they will NOT give as an answer? How about cucumber waxer? Or a museum curator? Or a delivery boy for an eye clinic?” 7:51:33 AM 3/02/04 I am a guy “we never grow up.” 7:54:12 AM 3/02/04 “When I was a kid one of my best friends wanted to be a garbage man when he grew up.” 7:56:11 AM 3/02/04 7:57:35 AM 3/02/04 “lmao, Chili! I thought of that, but thought it best not to mention it by name. Great pic though...” 8:04:28 AM 3/02/04 “I'm still trying to figure that out. Thats why I'm in accounting.” 8:25:08 AM 3/02/04 “When I was screenprinting I used to ask job applicants what they wanted to be when they grew up as an interview question. Not a single one ever answered that they wanted to print t-shirts for a living.” 8:29:43 AM 3/02/04 “Hey, hpm, those rocket scientist have to start somewhere.” 8:30:33 AM 3/02/04 “I wanna be debt free. At least maybe before I die?” 8:32:25 AM 3/02/04 “I can honestly say that I never had a rocket scientist or potential rocket scientist work for me. Most of those dudes were dim.” 8:38:09 AM 3/02/04 Gotta Have Looong Arms “How about a photo of an elephant insemenator?” 8:42:37 AM 3/02/04 Crash Test Dummy “No experience necessary. Hard head preferred!” 8:45:50 AM 3/02/04 “Sign up my son.” 8:46:15 AM 3/02/04 “Who here has experience as a hostage?” 8:47:49 AM 3/02/04 “I wanna be Paul McCartney so I can get to know the younger generation.” 8:48:07 AM 3/02/04 “Fuel Dispensing Engineer” 8:49:14 AM 3/02/04 “I was a hostage but then I moved out.” 8:51:20 AM 3/02/04 “LOL!! MarkO, you are insane. and so's that Tom T. dude.” 8:52:03 AM 3/02/04 “Ooops, that's "inseminator" Ah-nuld?” 8:55:37 AM 3/02/04 “Condom tester? or teste, as the case may be...” 9:00:21 AM 3/02/04 “Nat.park bear with a dime.” 11:48:01 AM 3/02/04 “Quality control at a brewery.” 11:50:51 AM 3/02/04 “Damn lumberzac, don't you know they can't swallow the beer, they just have to spit it out after each taste?” 11:55:11 AM 3/02/04 “That's why lz wants to work on the Malt Liquor line. The stuff ain't for tasting good, it's for Gettin' Ya Drunk...” 11:56:34 AM 3/02/04 “Damn, I wanted to get paid to get drunk. I guess I could always become a congressman.” 11:57:00 AM 3/02/04 “Chili, I'm surprised nobody's thought of this career yet. "Pet Attorney"!! ...and America would be the first place in the world to have one!” 11:59:22 AM 3/02/04 “Damn lumberzac, don't you know they can't swallow the beer, they just have to spit it out after each taste?" chili36 What ya really saying chili, don't date any female brew tasters???” 12:01:22 PM 3/02/04 “Excellent inference, snafu! Give that man a beer.” 12:02:24 PM 3/02/04 “Well snafu, one way of looking at that particular equation is that the beer was in the mouth, regardless of disposition.” 12:05:05 PM 3/02/04 “i wax my cucumber every night, but no ones offered to pay me for it” 12:08:41 PM 3/02/04 “True, But I still want my free beer...haha” 12:10:03 PM 3/02/04 “Stormy, is that a gherkin?” 12:11:22 PM 3/02/04 Here ya go, snaf... “ ”12:13:38 PM 3/02/04 “Schweeet....now if you could combine that with "stormbridgers" new thread post!!!

And she's offering up a beer.... drool” 1:32:45 PM 3/02/04 “It could only be better if she were topless...” 1:34:14 PM 3/02/04 “When my son was 8-9 years old he wanted to be a motel maid because no one would be watching you work and you could watch t.v. all day. Sounds like he could have grown up to be an online tt'er.” 4:35:05 PM 3/02/04 I was my family's Christmas gift wrapper “When I was little I loved to wrap presents so I wrapped all the gifts for my brothers and father and MY OWN!!! I never peeked at my own presents. How sick is that!” 6:17:27 PM 3/02/04 oooh, ooooh “I wanna backpack, then get weeks off between jobs to lay around and play on the puiter. Oh Oh, thats what I do....does that mean I have to grow up? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” 6:25:40 PM 3/02/04 “That's the spirit, MtnSteve! Growing up sucks! Maturing is ok... ...I think that makes sense.
