If you could experience someone else’s job for one day, what type of job would you choose?
I often wonder what is it like to be other people – what their day-to-day schedule is like. Maybe their job, which seems so fun to me, really isn’t.
Anyway. I am really curious about transportation. What is it like to fly a plane all day? Or drive a train all day? Is it fun, is it boring? Is this post really boring? Am I losing my mind?
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and am employed by the federal government. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂
I’d try out Queen of England.
Oh, that one is easy for me. To be a movie director. Having a fascination with making movies, I think it would be fun, challenging and chaotic. The only bummer would be that if I liked it, I would want to do it for more than just one day.
You are losing your mind.
JK! 😉
Here are three that come to mind for me:
1) Landscaper- working outside with my hands in the summer
2) Talk show host (like Ellen, not Oprah)
3) Lead singer of a band- so I can perform on stage
I like Kyra’s answer! I’d say actress. I’d love to be famous for just one day & see how the “other half” lives. 🙂
I’ve had so many jobs there isn’t much I haven’t tried that I’ve wanted to.
Kyra – LOL! Good choice!
martymankins – Any particular genre you’d like to direct?
sizzle – Thanks for being honest 😉 I really like all of those choices! Esp. the second one. You’d be great for that!
diane – I would love to see you act in something! You’d probably keep going after a day though!
Lisa – Maybe there is one you know you DON’T want to try? 😉
I’d probably be bored driving a train. All you have to do is speed up or slow down. The tracks do all the rest!
Angela – Driving it would probably be boring, but I bet it would offer some really neat views!
Maybe a writer. I dream of someday having the talent to finish my incomplete masterpiece: Bubba the Vampire Slayer.
Being Bill Gates wouldn’t be too bad either.
Y2K Survivor – It would be fun to see what it is like to be a writer. I imagine it’s a lot different than what I think it is!
My first choice was President of the US, but I figure I’d be so lost with the politics that unless they were just going to let me pass a bunch of great laws, there wouldn’t be a point.
So I’m going to go with Astronaut (one that’s on a mission) !
Gary LaPointe – Maybe if you were going to be the prez for a day, you could choose to do it on a day when he does fun schmoozy stuff 😉
I don’t want to work at all. I want to be unimaginably wealthy, with no responsibilities. The money to do whatever I want, the freedom to do it, and my favorite people/cats to go along for companionship. Just call me SlackerSJ.
SJ – I would LOVE that too. Wouldn’t we all? 😀
