It is somewhat remarkable how many of those 40 careers I've either done in some capacity, or informally studied! Unfortunately, I'm not very good at drawing, so I don't see how "Cartoonist" made it all the way up to #3! Those "Analyst" jobs keep cropping up ... I'd talked to the CIA at one point and they thought I'd make a great Analyst .... but I just couldn't see moving out to the DC area, and they (unlike the FBI) don't have gigs at branch offices around the country.
