If this is what thinking gets you...

...then I want none of it. Ok, so maybe I want a little of it.
I have been thinking a lot lately about WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP. (That is in caps because it's a big and often worrisome topic, not because I am yelling)
I have some dream jobs. Here is a list, in no particular order of preference.
Professor
Midwife
Financial/Debt Coach
Something on Capitol Hill
Aid Worker in Africa
Flight Attendant
Something that makes me feel good - doing stuff for other people
Getting people into school - people who don't have the tools to do it themselves
Almost anything in a developing country - teaching english, working in an orphanage etc.
Peace Corps (they won't take me, I'm not a citizen)
Working for the Olympics
Other things I can't think of right now.

So, I have been thinking lately - why am I pursing an office job (admittedly I have been looking at stuff on Capitol Hill, which fits into one of my dream jobs) when none of my dream jobs is really even close to that?
