Specialization is for Insects

I should be working on Physics, or finding everything for my tax return, but instead, I'm blogging.

So I'm looking for a job, because my current job frankly sucks. It's boring, the pay isn't very good, and there's little worthwhile about it. But while doing so today, I realized something. I couldn't see doing any of the jobs listed there as a Career. Some could be interesting for a while, but not forever. There's few jobs I can see doing forever, they'd get boring. Unless it's a job that involves doing new things on a regular basis, or doing lots of different things, like space explorer or adventurer or something. Or some kind of scientist/rock star, like Buckaroo Banzai or Pardis Sabeti. (Seriously. She's a genetic researcher, and has a band and was interviewed in the latest issue of Seed.)

The real challenge there is how to figure out how to go from underemployed retailferret to scientist/rock star/space adventurer. I don't quite think that classified ad looking for a cow-tipper's gonna do it, but you never know.

I bet a cool hat would help.
