Career planning part II
I am enjoying all your tales of career advice and aspirations, both good and bad! Please keep them coming.
Here’s a fun experiment: post as your status update that you’re taking a day to contemplate your career, and ask your friends what you should do next. The answers will amuse you. So far I’ve gotten:
* Have a child
* Become a ballerina (those two were the “restructure your pelvic cage at age 40!” answers)
* Send your pic and bio to casting agents –especially those working on Star Trek
projects in need of Vulcans
* Become a high-class hooker
* Be a “slacker Oprah”
* Start a Kenny Rogers cover band
* Learn Spanish and get on one of their soap operas (“Can you beat your fists into the chest of your leading man and scream out raspy pleas of exasperation at his infidelity?”)
* Be a rabbi
* World domination. As a benevolent dictator.
* Rock climbing
* Parkour
* Go back to school and be a paramedic
Try it yourself, and see what your friends really think of you — or what their own projected fantasy lives are!

The only response I’ve gotten so far is that I should rob banks. I think… I think I won’t.
FJ, I advised an FB friend of mine to become a hitwoman. Perhaps this is not as good an FB exercise/experiment as I had hoped.
My overall impression from this experiment is that either it only works if you are famous, or nobody knows what I should be. I got barely any responses! Actually, probably the take-home message from that should be that Facebook’s new setup still sucks.
