The Modern Gal wrote one of my favorite things this week:
“I had a major epiphany on the elliptical today. I know what I want to be when I grow up.”
I don’t know what it is, but I have to assume it’s fantastic wrapped in awesome, because that’s how the MG rolls. (Note to self: You are not cool enough to say that. Second note to self: It also shows your age.)
It was also the perfect time to find this article: 11 Famous People Who Were in the Completely Wrong Career at Age 30 The MG is not that old, but since I am … it’s a little comforting to know job changes in the past couple of years, and any future ones, offer some hope that someday I’ll figure out what I want to be too.
By the way, you really should go visit the MG’s blog — she’s posted a mash-up of
Barney Stinson from “How I Met Your Mother” as Frosty the Inappropriate Snowman. (The MG’s posts on HIMYM is one reason why I started watching the show.)
Awww, you’re making me blush 🙂 And don’t sell yourself short. You’re awesome wrapped in fantastic!
I’m close enough to 30 that I’ll probably still be in the current profession when I hit it. Here’s the secret … I’m thinking about becoming (please don’t laugh, because it sounds kind of laughable) a life coach. I keep reading these magazine articles written by life coaches and thinking, ‘I so could have written that myself.’
Of course, after reading that list, maybe I should aim for something even crazier like world famous test pilot or something.
