    I've always wanted to work in a cube with no view of the outside world, have a stapler on my desk, and go to meetings that I try not to fall asleep in. I'm living my dream.

    Ummm.. Archaeologist, Marine Biologist, Zookeeper, Writer, Vet. I know I wanted to be a singer unfortunately I can't sing but I'm a good mimer.

    Oh... and then I wanted to work at KFC. I really liked KFC (and still do). Never did work in fast food though.

    Apparently I wanted to be an orange tree. I accidentally swallowed a seed and thought I'd grow into an orange tree.

    Wanted to be a vet, but... I have other gifts I wasn't made aware of until as of late.

    When I was in kindergarten my teacher asked us all these questions like what we want to be, and live and everything like that for parents night. My mom still has the paper where it says my dream career was to work at a Dariy Queen. Long story short, everyone thought it was hilarious when they didn't hire me when I was 17. They are some real dream crushers.

    I would've included a copy of the paper with your job application, that dedication to a childhood dream might've worked; to get you the job!
