I remember a long time ago when I once said to myself, I want to be a cowboy, or a train engineer or a police officer which comes to my current question, who grows up and says to there parents "I wanna be a gigolo mom!"? Where do these nasty occupations come from? "My greatest ambition is to clean sewers." I guess someone has got to do it. But it still makes me think. And what about an orthodontist? Who would want to be every kids worst nightmare? Braces were hell.
I know that my train of dream occupations has rocketed through, starting off as a cowboy, firefighter and a police officer all at the same time. Then I decided to focus on engineering when I was five. Yup, my mom was so proud, until she found out I meant train engineer. Followed by a scientist and then a computer goon. I spent about two years learning a little C++, HTML, C-Script (for 3d GameStudio) but I could never really focus on it for too long. I have an interesting site started at this link about games I've started, but whether or not I'll ever have the motivation to continue, I don't really know. Acting has always been an interesting thought, but I'm not that great and its too difficult a business to get into. Flying, however, is pie.
But nowhere have I wanted to be a gigolo, sewer cleaner or an orthodontist. But I got to say, cheers to you people who take up the jobs most would reject. Especially you, the gigolos.
In other news, I don't know how I forgot to mention this on this site, but as of last June, I got a new nephew. Aiden Parker William Wagner, son of Jennifer (Kuhl) Wagner and Tad Wagner and brother of 4-year-old Zakory Arthur Charles Wagner. Unfortunately, they all live in sunny California, some 6000 miles away from here, so I haven't seen any of them for a year. My mother just left this morning out of Manchester NH for California and I'm stuck here, dreading Friday, the day I head back to the gulag, of which I mean school.

I've wondered that, too.
I mean, did they walk around thinking they would be an orthodontist for awhile or did they just stumble upon the occupation and kept doing it because there was nothing better at the time?
I agree, those are all crappy jobs.
