Looking For a Career Change?

post by Michelle Griep

Ever wished for a better career than the one you're slogging through right now? Sure, you could switch and become a neurosurgeon, but that's a whole lot of school debt and who really wants to poke around in squishy gray matter anyway? Instead, here are some jobs taken from the realm of fiction that perhaps might interest you more . . .

Care of Magical Creatures Professor
(Harry Potter)
If education is something that makes your heart pitter patter, then this might be the position for you. Educate wizards and witches in all aspects of magical creatures.

Dream Blower
(The BFG)
So maybe you like kids better when they're sleeping, eh? Yeah. Who doesn't? A Dream Blower blends and delivers pleasant dreams to children.

Gamemaker
(The Hunger Games)
For those of you who can't stand the thought of a nine-to-five desk job, perhaps this role would fit you better. A Gamemaker plans and stages the violent and bloody annual hunger games.

Ministry of Truth Clerk
(1984)
Rewrite historical documents to reflect party policy. Actually, there just might be an opening in this department in the Obama administration. Oops. Did I say that out loud?

Double O Agent
(James Bond)
This one comes with sweet rides and the possibility of death. You in?
