thefridayfive: Careers, Dreams, and Reality

1. What did you dream of being when you were a little child?
A writer of great novels.

2. What did you think you might become when you were between the ages of 12-13?
A writer of great novels.

3. What career choices did you consider as a young adult?
I majored in television production because I was going to make ground-breaking television shows. Or maybe educational films. I wasn't sure.

5. Have you changed careers since then? Was it by choice or necessity? I write for the local newspaper. I am the city historic preservation officer. I do vendor service at retail stores. I need the money so I take the job. I was never really cut out for the stress of Hollywood, anyway. Lack of talent may have had something to do with it but lack of ambition, drive and cutthroat instincts were a problem to. Plus, I hate living in big cities!
