10 jobs I think I'd like....

Please note I'm not saying careers coz over time I have realised, to me the job is a job!
  1. Tour Guide
  2. Features writer/journalist
  3. Fashion/beauty editor
  4. Mattress trial person (I'm assuming it involves a lot of sleeping)
  5. TV show rater
  6. Facebook stalker (I never said the job existed!)
  7. Food taster
  8. Social media user
  9. Back up Dancer (I'm not sure exactly how stressful this is but in the last row, can't be so bad!) *
  10. Librarian
Someone else also has a list of slacker careers!
* Pixy tells me this is 8 hours of very hard work on a slow day even in the last row (ref comments below) so no-can-do!
Thank you Pix!

Multitalent amazes me!

I've been reading 'The Big Blind' by Louise Wener - the author note says she used to be the lead singer of Brit pop band 'Sleeper' with 3 Top 10 albums and 8 Top 40 singles! I find this kind of talent across spheres fascinating - It truly commands respect!

Other people with Multitalent:
  • Leonardo Da Vinci - Artist, Architecht, Inventor/Scientist,Writer, General Genius
  • Shari Shattuck - Actress, Author
  • Boman Irani - Photographer,Actor
  • Anuj Saxena - Actor, Businessman
I find Maria Shriver also a fount of talent - Journalist, Author (not such a jump I know) but it takes skill to be a member of the Kennedy family and married to Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Actor/Musician has a lot of people in the category - practically everyone seems to do that cross over. Ronn Moss, Keanu Reeves, Jared Leto, Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Leighton Meester, Taylor Momsen....

I have not included peopel who have multi talents in their spheres to much - I'm always impressed by songwriter/singers or singer/composers but I think AR Rahman deserves a special mention because he is a veritable powerhouse of Talent in the field of music!
